A variety of tools can be utilized to create a lifestyle plan and class design to supports the process of integration (Yoga). These are all rooted in safe space, breath, non judgment, compassion, acceptance, awareness, grounding, movement, and touch. The goal is to bring centered acceptance and cognitive awareness without judgement that allows for healthy progress toward positive outcomes.
Integrated Strategies
The art of the Yoga Therapist in dealing with trauma related conditions is to weave together an approach that create a safe place and foundation for non judgmental observation. We call this state, cultivating the witness, which implies a detachment. This in turn gives a sense of distance and compassion that allows the traumas held in the body to be integrated by the frontal lobes and differentiated from current experience so that they are no longer automatically triggered.
Creating a safe space the foundation.
