Restore Your Original Strength & Resilience

​

An 8-week Trauma and PTSD Recovery Program
For those navigating the lasting impact of stress and trauma.

“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you, as a result of what happens to you.”
— Dr. Gabor Maté

​

Unresolved trauma affects every part of our being—body, mind, emotions, and relationships. It shapes how we love, live, and make sense of the world. From intimacy struggles to addiction, from chronic health issues to emotional distress—trauma often lives beneath the surface of our daily lives.

​

This 8-week evidence-based course supports people who have experienced childhood or early life trauma. Drawing on the latest research, we now understand that trauma is stored in the brain and muscle tissue—manifesting as anxiety, nightmares, panic attacks, depression, fear, insomnia, and a weakened immune system. It can also result in self-defeating patterns and addiction.

​

Course Overview

This specialised Yoga Therapy program offers gentle, guided support through:

• Therapeutic movement & postures

• Breathwork & meditation

• Somatic therapy and nervous system regulation tools

• Applied Polyvagal Theory

• Compassionate Inquiry (Gabor Maté's approach)

• Yogic philosophy and trauma-informed neuroscience

​

Each class is carefully structured to help move participants out of states of hyperarousal or dissociation and gently back into connection—with body, breath, and life.

We begin by establishing a felt sense of safety, then progressively build capacity to explore and accept bodily sensations—without overwhelm or retraumatisation. This process invites presence, builds resilience, and supports nervous system regulation.

​

Classes follow a rhythm of action and rest:
Inviting a practice—then pausing.
Engaging—then relaxing.
This “pulse” of expansion and contraction is a key element in restoring balance to the nervous system.

Relax the body—
The mind will follow.
