Sometimes we feel cut off from ourselves. Physical sensations and emotions seem diffuse, impulses and signals from the body are not always perceptible and it is difficult to feel inner peace and security. This can make everyday life feel exhausting or overwhelming.
We often realize: I want to be alive and present in my body again. I want to feel myself and feel safe and comfortable in my own body.
This is exactly where trauma-sensitive yoga comes in, not to 'work on' something, but to perceive the body as a place of reconnection.
In my 1:1 retreat, I offer you a protected setting in the calming power of nature, between forest, mountains and water. Step by step, we invite you to reconnect with your body. Mindful movements, gentle exercises and loving sensations give your nervous system security and help you to anchor yourself in the here and now.
This retreat is a place where you don't have to do anything. No performance, no perfection, no "real" yoga. It's not about hours of meditation, elaborate poses or guided breathing exercises that take you away from yourself. It's about being mindful and non-judgmental of yourself, understanding yourself better and feeling comfortable and safe in your body.
We work with:
Gentle, physical exercises that help you to perceive your body signals more clearly.
Mindfulness for emotions, sensations, boundaries and needs.
Self-pacing, self-acceptance and self-care instead of pressure to perform.
Trauma-sensitive yoga is easy to learn, even with physical limitations, and you can practise the exercises independently after the retreat.
Over the course of the retreat, you will experience how your body can feel like a safe, vibrant place and how you can once again be mindful of what is good for you.
Other elements of the retreat:
Nature connection and forest bathing
Honest sharing
Time for retreat, rest and coming back to yourself
Optional: nature rituals, energy work or shamanic support for gentle deepening and integration.
