What is Trauma-Informed Yoga?

Trauma-informed yoga is a gentle and person-centered approach to traditional yoga practices that strives to empower participants and help them to reconnect with their bodies in a safe and therapeutic way. For those who have eating disorders, trauma-informed yoga can also help with managing some of the unique struggles that may come with these disorders, including feelings of anxiety, shame, and low self-worth.

Because trauma-informed yoga uses simple, accessible movements and lets participants determine their own experience, it can offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and healing setting for participants. Additionally, it can help deepen the mind-body connection and promote needed relaxation.
