This class is sponsored by Trauma Therapy Solutions and is a resource for the individuals involved in the complex trauma group. However, we also wanted to share this resource with you - feel free to access the videos to use at home, on your own time.
Restorative movement is helpful for those with somatic pain, those with mental health issues as well as trauma. Trauma and stress are contained within the body - so it is important to pay attention to the body and the needs of the body to aid in healing.
Material: 2 blocks, 1 chair and 1 firm body towel. This class is dedicated to uplifting your energy. It's great for those who feel tired, gloomy and with a foggy mind.
For this session you will need:
- Any chair - A wall - A blanket or yoga block
This session is specially dedicated to navigating between the 2 poles that we naturally have: Rejection and Attraction. Finding a middle ground helps increase tolerance and creates serenity in any circumstance.
This is a session to improve Interoception: The capacity to feel the body and its sensations. Have patience as this is not an easy practice, but it's very helpful for practicing self-compassion.
Material: A Blanket or 2, a wall and a place where you can sit for 15 minutes
Improve mobility, strength and awareness with a short soft-medium session for arms, shoulders, collar bones and upper back. Have fun with some balancing drills. Material: 2 blankets.
Material: Any chair and a blanket. As with any other practice, Patience requires repetition, consistency and a will to improve it. Patience might be one of the hardest things to achieve, but every little success with patience comes with a great consequence and inner peace. Patience can be the cause that cultivates many other beneficial mindsets. Take it as a very important foundation for your mental well-being.
No material is needed for this class. Only your space with your mat. We will work on coordination, body awareness and fluidity movements to have the attention back in control.
Short practice for full-body stretch with a piece of strength. Feel your tension relief even when you have to spend too long sitting on a chair. Material: A chair with no armrests.
This is the same session as the 15 min. one I previously sent. This is a 35 min practice with some variations and a couple poses added.
Using a chair the practice becomes even safer for those with limited mobility. This session is a full body series working the joints, some strength and twists to make it a complete experience. Material: A chair with no arm rests.
In this 30-minute session, we focus on Improving Laterality by creating some symmetry in the body. While we are naturally asymmetrical, this practice uses specific movements to align your muscular chains and promote evenness on both sides of the body, leading to better posture and a feeling of lightness. Also, by acknowledging being on both sides, we will improve our sense of Empathy when we practice moving from one point of view to another. Using just a chair with no armrests, you'll learn how to activate and balance the muscles that support your spine, helping you improve alignment and feel more connected to your body. Materials needed: A chair without armrests.This is the same session as the 15 min. one I previously sent. This is a 35 min practice with some variations and a couple poses added.

In this entry-medium level class, we challenge you to step safely Out of Your Comfort Zone. Using the support of a chair you will be able to intensify some basic postures. The intention is to allow the body to experience some intensity so we can use the breath as a tool for self-regulation when we are in challenging situations. You will build strength and confidence. This session is great for those looking to progressively deepen their body awareness while stepping beyond your usual limits. Materials needed: A chair for support.
Usually, anxiety has a fast pace, pulling us away from the present moment. We can feel bouncing and dashing from one thought or concern to another. Ground yourself in the now with this easy practice. We will give our body a slow pace to generate a message of calmness. We will bring the brain to the ground to create a sensation of peace in the head while our body expands so we feel there’s enough space to breathe. Material needed: A chair, a block, a towel, and a wall or door.
