Women's Yin for Trauma Recovery
2024-06-06 12:00 - 13:00, 2024-06-13 12:00 - 13:00, 2024-06-20 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Edmonton) | Psynergy Centre, 378 1st St SE, Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A0S4, Canada
This is a small group intensive for WOMEN. Yin Yoga is a slow paced, passive form of yoga that emphasizes stretching connective tissues (including ligaments, fascia, tendons, and joints) particularly around the spine, sacrum, hips, pelvis, and knees while focusing on deep cleansing breaths. It is not uncommon to feel not only physical but emotional releases while holding postures as meridians clear out repressed emotional blockages. The complimentary approach of Yin to trauma recovery is to help individuals to learn to get comfortable with discomfort, to learn the difference between discomfort and pain and to help you expand your mental edges that often mirror how we cope with our emotional edges. This Trauma Informed approach provides special support placed on embodiment, body autonomy, safety and choice.

Fascia Release
2024-06-14 18:30 - 19:30 | Psynergy Centre, 378 1st St SE, Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A0S4, Canada
Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and other structures in the body. Sometimes emotional trauma or stressors stored in our body (Fascia) can result in physical symptoms such as tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain or knots, numbness, tingling, stiffness, especially tight hips (psoas muscles), inflammation and overall dysfunction because the memory of trauma is stored in the fascia. Muscle armouring can occur with prolonged exposure to stress and trauma. By targeting and releasing restrictions in the fascia, you can experience many benefits such as Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion, Injury Prevention and Rehab, Pain Reduction, Improved Posture and Alignment, Stress Release and Relaxation, and amplify mental health therapy with increased Mind-Body Connection. Fascial Maneuvers are slow, methodical movements formed by restricting the body in counter rotation, while using breathing. It’s not uncommon to experience emotional releases activated by memories, images or sensations that may arise connected to the fascia points. The stretching movements, when completed with intention, can assist with reducing stress, tension, and pain in the body. Gentle guided breath work will help us drop in and wrap up this body opening session in a group embodied grounding practice.

* Deepening mental clarity, insight, expanded awareness, and spiritual growth
Also known as somatic experiencing and integrative Breath work, somatic therapy incorporates the mind, body, and spirit into therapeutic healing work. This therapy aims to help release how a physical body holds on to stress, tension, and trauma, rather than only resolving problems verbally.
Conscious Integrative Breath Work is both a psycho-emotional therapeutic practice and an opportunity to deeply explore and glean insight from non-ordinary states of consciousness through the body.
Since the beginning of time, expanded states of consciousness were used by seekers to find answers for the existential and meaningful questions of life.
Being skillfully guided in this Safe, Trauma-informed Container, Somatic Experiencing & Integrative Breath work involves exploring the deeper origins of stress & patterns that determine mental-emotional health, the nervous system development & trauma; right back to conception, birth, ancestral origins, and beyond.
Every journey provides us with new, valuable information, insights & upgrades.
