Yoga with Gail

Yoga with Gail Trauma Sensitive Yoga is an evidence informed somatic approach to healing from trauma which focuses on the internal felt sense rather than how it looks.

For anyone wishing to reconnect with their body, reduce anxiety and overwhelm.

I am stepping out from beneath old skin and unburdening my shoulders of the weight of unending comparison. For you see, these fears,

these inadequacies, these insecurities, they are not mine, not truly.

They belong to a world consumed by the superficial when I am born only of real - real flesh and real blood.

I was not made to carry such sorrows in my bones. So I will step out from beneath this old skin

and learn to live with only love and graciousness as I begin to see this glorious life through fresh eyes and an eternally open heart.

S.E.L.F. R.E.G.U.L.A.T.I.O.N.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our our response lies our growth and freedom."
- unknown

When we can become more aware of our emotions and sensations in real time, we then have the choice to pause and breathe before responding. We give ourselves agency and therein lies our empowerment. 🌻✨️

Accessible Yoga Training completed. ✨️🌻 💃

What an honour to train with Rodrigo and Alessandra and Jivana and to meet so many beautiful people who can grow together and support each other as we go out into the world to bring yoga to more people.

After my 300 hours in Trauma Sensitive Yoga training I began working with many different people living with trauma and soon realised that Yoga was not accessible to everyone for many different reasons.

And so I decided to undertake some more training.

To make sessions more bespoke and to serve those in front of me; rather than plan a session and follow it regardless; to be able to adapt the practice and make a collaboration so each person can have their own practice within the session whatever that looks like for them.

To create a safe space for each person to feel comfortable exploring asana in their own way without judgement on how the form looks or how it may be perceived in a hierarchy of choices.

I am offering classes in Colchester every Friday at The Tree Room 10.30am to 11.30am.

I am hoping to begin offering sessions next year for different groups of people. Seniors, wheelchair users, amputees or anyone that would love to try yoga but thinks that it is not accessible to them.

Please contact me if you or your organisation would like to know more. Let's collaborate and make yoga accessible to every body.

Colchester and Clacton areas but I am open to suggestions.

I found a beautiful leaf in the park and I took it everywhere with me. It looks like fire and flames.
Water my soul.

From teaching class, to coffee to lunch and back to my campervan.
Water my soul.

Together leaf and I made a lot of people smile.
Water my soul

We were practicing Nadi Shodhana in class yesterday. It's one of my favourite pranayama practices. It can also be adapted in other ways if this is not accessible for you.

"Emotions are about physical sensations. Yoga helps the person to explore their body in a safe way and in a safe space and having the courage to face sensations in their body."

- Bessel van der Kolk

It's not how the pose looks but how it feels in your body.

If you would love to try Trauma Sensitive Yoga I teach at The Tree Room, Colchester every Friday morning. 10.30am to 11.30am

Message me to book your space or find out more.

Trauma Sensitive, Accessible and Adaptive Yoga classes.

These sessions are for anyone:

🌻 who has experienced trauma, grief and loss
🌻 are feeling anxious, stressed or overwhelmed
🌻 wanting time to reconnect or deepen their connection with their body
🌻 new to yoga, always wanted to try but thought you couldn't 'do it'

My classes are down-to-earth and deeply nourishing

They include grounding practices, gentle warm ups for the joints, mindful slow flowing movements and postures, breathing techniques, guided meditation and relaxation. Each week we will explore a different pranayama practice and different guided meditations such as Yoga Nidra and somatic experiencing

These yoga sessions are all trauma sensitive, empowering you to develop your own practice within the sessions. You are the expert on your body.

Practice is more about how it feels in your body rather than how it looks. Asana is not sacred. This is yoga for YOUR body 💖

We use plenty of props; chairs, mats, blankets, blocks and cushions.

You can choose to practice on your mat or chair or change between the two.

A safe and inclusive space welcome to all.

£11 per session

Please message to book your block sessions (next block starts in November) or for individual drop ins.

If you'd like more information to see see if this is right for you, a discovery call can be arranged... no obligation.

"Somatic" refers to your subjective bodily experience.

Trauma Sensitive Yoga is a somatic practice where you are invited to explore your body's felt experience rather than how the asana looks.

Research shows us that strengthening our capacity for awareness improves the health of our mind, body and relationships. It improves our immunity and cardiovascular health and enhances the epigenetic regulation of genes.

Somatic Awareness is associated with the earth element.

Feeling a secure connection with the earth through our body we can begin to send out roots - to begin to notice and feel we have a safe place in our body - and from this safe place we are creating we can navigate our journey through life.

To spread our wings skyward. ✨️
