Yoga for PTSD
for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Trauma-sensitive yoga programmes address the body-focused component of PTSD — hyperarousal, disconnection from the body, and difficulty tolerating physical sensations.
How it works
Builds interoceptive awareness and body safety in a titrated, empowering way. Trauma disrupts the capacity to safely inhabit the body; gentle yoga practice rebuilds this connection.
What to watch for
Use trauma-sensitive yoga programmes specifically designed for PTSD, not standard yoga classes which may involve instructions or adjustments that feel threatening to trauma survivors.
