Movement

How Can Movement Heal?

Movement is extremely powerful for healing - and not just physical symptoms. Movement that works with our body and mind is wonderful for helping us cope with mental health and emotional challenges, moving trauma that is stuck in the body, and grounding us. It has been shown time and time again to improve anxiety, depression, panic attacks, sleep issues, chronic pain management and so much more. It improves organ function, immune system health, digestive system health and nervous system regulation. Movement is also a preventative - by keeping our bodies moving, we can prevent problems from arising in the first place, particularly in the musculoskeletal system.

What Kind Of Movement Practices Do You Use?

I am a Yoga Alliance certified Vinyasa yoga teacher, and I work with various styles of yoga - Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin. I am also qualified in Trauma-Informed yoga, so that I can work with people wherever they are, and in any way they need. Every one of us is different, and what we need also changes from day-to-day, season-to-season, and as we reach different stages in our healing. I am also qualified in Somatic Healing, which gives us even more movement practices to work with, meaning that if yoga isn’t for you, then there are other forms of embodied movement available.

Asanas in yoga help to reduce inflammation in the body, while strengthening and stretching muscles to help with aches and pains. Through yoga movement we can learn to tune into our bodies, exploring where we are holding trapped emotions and release them. Read more here…
