Gentle & Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Sequence for Grounding and Upper Body Release

Namaste yogis!

This gentle and trauma-sensitive yoga sequence is appropriate for all levels. First we will focus on grounding, before moving into the neck, shoulders and upper-back.

Grounding, means getting connected to the earth underneath you and to your own body- cultivating an energy of stability, security, safety and trust. Grounding is important for us all, and particularly for those struggling with trauma reactions and Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Anxiety, Depression and a number of mental health and emotional concerns.

After we ground, we'll focus on releasing tension from the upper body with breath and mindful, feel-good movement.
