The impact of trauma and mental health conditions can range from everyday stress to more severe anxiety and disorders, but the initial effect is often similar. Individuals dealing with mental health conditions frequently experience dysregulation in their nervous system, which hinders optimal brain function. Incorporating mindful yoga practices, breathwork, somatics, and targeted yoga nidra practices can aid in managing stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and other mental health disorders. In this program, you will learn specific yoga-related techniques and complementary somatic strategies to help individuals who have experienced trauma feel more comfortable and at ease in their bodies while working with you in your group offerings or one-on-one. This will also help you develop greater empathy and compassion for individuals who have experienced trauma. How does Trauma-Aware & Mental Health Yoga help people deal with trauma or stress? Firstly - It’s important to be aware that trauma is not unusual in people's lives. According to embodied simulation theory, mirror neurons (MN) in our brain's motor system are the neuronal basis of all social-cognitive processes. Some expert reports have shown that doing yoga in groups may activate the mirror neuron system of the brain, which is a system damaged by trauma, so practicing yoga and meditation in groups can gift people a deeper sense of belonging.
