This is a form of yoga designed to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be physical, emotional, or psychological.

It involves the integration of mindfulness and somatic (body-centred) practices, and it prioritizes creating a sense of safety, choice, and control for participants.
