trauma sensitive yoga to reclaim your body
A traumatic event or traumatic period in your life can have a big impact on how you relate to yourself, your body and to others. The good news is that you can change this.
Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) can offer you ways to safely explore sensations in your body in the present moment. This empowers you to make decisions based on what you notice in your body, and reduces the effects of trauma.
Trauma sensitive yoga was developed with feedback from trauma survivors and is very different from other yoga classes.
The classes are facilitated by Sam Voolstra, an experienced and certified TCTSY yoga teacher with lived experience of PTSD.

yoga classes for self care
We welcome you to our weekly gentle yoga classes suitable for all bodies and minds
Are you looking for yoga classes that invite you to feel what is right for your body and mind?
In the gentle yoga classes in Nimbin and Larnook you give yourself time to be with yourself and bring your attention inwards in a safe way.
As your body relaxes and your breath deepens, there is space to observe your thoughts and beliefs and to reconnect with your self.
Understanding yourself better and being more loving towards yourself will affect the way you see and connect with the world around you.
yoga therapy for self healing
Personal yoga therapy sessions can give you a helping hand on your path to health and wellbeing.
Yoga therapy works holistically. Instead of treating a symptom, yoga therapy tries to get to the cause of the imbalance that is making you feel unwell or in pain.
Yoga therapy can help you with injuries, back pain, illness and chronic pain, and is complementary with other treatments you might be receiving.
Michael O'Connor started yoga to heal his chronic back pain and sciatica. Now he is a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and he loves to share with you the practice that made him pain free.
