In this episode of 'Yoga in the Therapy Room', we discuss how integrating trauma-informed yoga into therapy sessions can create a more holistic and healing environment for clients, especially those with trauma histories. We explore the definition of trauma, and the importance of trauma-informed practices, and provide practical strategies for incorporating yoga into clinical settings. I also share insights on creating a safe, supportive space, adjusting for cultural and individual sensitivities, and the dual benefits for clients and therapists. Listeners are encouraged to explore how these practices can benefit their therapeutic approach and support profound healing.
"One of the most amazing parts of doing trauma-informed yoga in session with clients is the benefit for them. They're learning how to emotionally regulate, learning ways to connect more to their body, and release tension and trauma." -Chris McDonald
