Traumatized people often find themselves cut off from themselves and the environment. By practicing a perceptual and mindful trauma-sensitive yoga, the part of the autonomic nervous system (ventral vagus nerve) that enables connection, calm and social interaction is stimulated. All body, breathing and meditation exercises are aimed at regaining and expanding the ability to feel and to create a conscious presence.<\/p>\n<h3>Can trauma-sensitive yoga (TSY) help me?<\/h3>\n<h6><strong>As a victim:<\/strong><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I learn how I can help myself in difficult situations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am finally beginning to feel myself again and to become more alive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and can participate more in life around me again <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong>As a professional companion for traumatized people:<\/strong><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>I am expanding my therapeutic tools<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I experience how body, mind and soul work together<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a yoga teacher, I understand better and better that behavior triggered by trigger situations is a normal response to an abnormal event<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a psychotherapist, I experience how short yoga exercises allow anchoring in the body<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What does our training and further education offer?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our certified advanced training (basic seminars 1-3) in trauma-sensitive yoga (TSY) aims to enable you to use the therapeutic value of yoga. The participants <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learn how to deepen these experiences in order to then pass them on to others. Dealing with trigger situations is an elementary part of trauma sensitive yoga. The point is not to avoid them, but to come into conscious contact with them so that you can experience your own body as a \"safe place\" again. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The participants<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> learn how to do yoga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a wide variety of target groups (e.g. in prison, in the military, with refugees, in a clinical context or in inpatient youth welfare). It is also taught how yoga can be integrated into the individual setting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trauma yoga therapist training (training seminars 1-6) is based on the basic seminars. Many of the participants have had painful experiences themselves in the course of their lives. In demonstrations, partner and group exercises, self-awareness is given even more space. I can authentically pass on what I have experienced, felt and experienced myself. The mindful togetherness, w<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">itness by the community and appreciative accompaniment create a healing space in which the experiences can be refined more and more. Injury experiences that were dominant in the past can lose their power through growing awareness and thus enable a new, safe experience in the present.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div
