Trauma-Sensitive Therapeutic Yoga

Service Description

Trauma-Sensitive Therapeutic Yoga is a 90-minute group class designed for psychologists, healthcare professionals, and the general public who experience stress, anxiety, emotional trauma, or a sense of disconnection from their own bodies. Unlike a conventional yoga class, this practice prioritizes safety, autonomy, and respect for personal boundaries. Carmen Elena González, a licensed psychologist and yoga instructor, guides the session with gentle movements, breathwork, mindfulness, and visualization exercises, promoting proprioception and body awareness. No prior yoga experience is necessary. Each person chooses which movements to perform, at what pace, and how far to go, without comparison or judgment, fostering self-compassion and inner listening. This class is ideal as a complement to psychotherapy and for anyone seeking to better regulate their emotions, lower their physical and mental tension, and cultivate a kinder relationship with their body. This first edition is offered as a pilot group, with a limited capacity of 10 people, to maintain an intimate and therapeutic environment.
