SENSORIAL ​YOGA
 

 

TRAUMA-INFORMED YOGA WITH FOCUS ON SENSORY-MOTOR AWARENESS FOR NERVOUS SYSTEM CARE, REGULATION AND RESTORATION

 

​​​YOGA is an ancestral somatic practice which traditionally sustain an embodied philosophy for self-knowledge and liberation.

 

All cross its history, yoga has had multiple expressions from ethical and spiritual implications, taking shape as a subtle science with a vast experiential and technical body of knowledge. 

  â€‹

Sensorial Yoga is a practice designed from traditional hatha yoga informed by neurosciences, sensory integration theory, and somatic studies.

​

The focus on sensory-somatic processing makes this practice neurodiversity-informed, and suitable for anyone looking for restoration and balance of the nervous system.

​

​Practice as you are: this practice is accessible, adaptive, and is always trauma-sensitive.

​

All bodies are welcome: you don't need to be flexible, acrobatic or full capable of moving. What matters is the felt sense and mindful integration of your experience. 

​

Kindness in practice: All props are always welcome! These may include chairs, blankets, pillows or bolsters, blocks, belts, small weight bags, the wall, a sofa, and stimming objects if needed.
