Trauma-informed Yoga Therapy Vancouver
You're doing your best to cope, but maybe your body still feels tense, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
Talk therapy is often where healing begins—but trauma lives in the body as well as the mind. That's where yoga therapy comes in.
Yoga therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses the tools of yoga—movement, breathing, meditation, and mindfulness—to support physical, mental, and emotional health. Unlike a regular yoga class, yoga therapy is trauma-informed and body-based, helping to build safety, regulation, and a sense of calm.
How Yoga Therapy can help:
Reduced stress
Improved mental health
Enhanced body awareness
Improved breathing and nervous system regulation
Promotion of relaxation
Cultivation of mind-body connection
As a Yoga Therapist, I draw on these practices as part of my counselling work—not as a separate service, but as one of the tools I bring into session when it's a good fit for what you need. Trauma-informed, body-based practices like these can help you understand how trauma lives in the body, build gentle, nervous-system-supportive habits, and reconnect with a sense of choice, comfort, and care.
If you're looking to explore these practices on your own, my on-demand class series offers guided yoga therapy sessions you can do at your own pace. And if you're ready to explore this work more deeply—alongside talk therapy, in a personalized and trauma-informed way—I'd love to support you through individual counselling.
