🌸 Embrace the Spring Awakening! 🌸

Out with my dog today, enjoying the days getting longer watching nature bursting into vibrant life. It's the perfect time for us to step outside and reconnect with the world around us. Spending time in nature offers numerous benefits for our physical and mental well-being.

Why Get Outdoors This Spring?

Boost Your Mood: Engaging with natural environments can reduce stress and enhance happiness.

Improve Physical Health: Activities like walking or gardening can lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.

Enhance Mental Clarity: Time spent outdoors can improve concentration and cognitive function.

Simple Ways for you to reconnect with Nature:

Take a Walk: Explore local parks or nature trails to enjoy the fresh air and blooming landscapes.

Gardening: Planting flowers or herbs can be both therapeutic and rewarding.

Mindful Observation: Pause to listen to birdsong, feel the breeze, or appreciate the changing scenery.

Remember, even a few minutes outdoors can make a difference. Let's embrace the season and nurture our well-being by connecting with the natural world. 🌿

✨ The Link Between Trauma & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction ✨

Did you know that unresolved trauma—whether physical, emotional, or psychological—can impact your pelvic floor health?

Our bodies store stress, and for many, that tension builds up in the pelvic muscles, leading to issues like:
💥 Chronic pelvic pain
💥 Urinary urgency or incontinence
💥 Pain during intimacy
💥 Digestive discomfort
💥 Tightness or weakness in the pelvic floor

Trauma, especially from past injuries, childbirth, sexual abuse or emotional distress, can cause the nervous system to stay in a "fight or flight" mode, making it hard for the pelvic floor to function properly. Healing often requires a holistic approach—pelvic floor therapy, breathwork, emotional support, and self-care.

If this resonates with you, know that there is help out there. 💛

** Shared Authentic Experience **

A fundamental principle of Trauma Centered Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is the concept of Shared Authentic Experience. TCTSY is a relational practice, meaning that as facilitators, we engage in the experience alongside participants. This approach fosters power sharing and helps build a safe, supportive relationship—one that contrasts with typical trauma relationships. It creates an environment where everyone can explore their unique connection with their bodies without fear of judgment.

Trauma can negatively impact how individuals relate to their bodies, leading to experiences such as hypervigilance, disconnection, difficulty feeling at ease, dissociation, negative self-image, and fatigue. TCTSY provides a space where participants may begin to change their relationship with their bodies. By noticing their sensations and learning to make choices based on those observations—without judgment—participants have an opportunity to share an authentic experience with the facilitator, who is simultaneously navigating their own practice.

TCTSY aims to create a safe enough environment through the use of invitational language, choice-making, interoception, non-coercion, and emphasising Shared Authentic Experience.
This approach offers the possibility of developing a healthier relationship with one’s body and fosters a safe, predictable relationship with the facilitator.

**Choice Making**

A fundamental principle of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is "choice making." Allowing participants to actively decide how they want to engage in the movement of the practice can foster a sense of agency and empowerment. Using invitational language, options are presented regarding movement, posture, and whether or not participants choose to move during the practice. For individuals who have experienced trauma and a lack of control over their bodies, creating choices within the practice is essential.

Choice making encourages participants to pay attention to their bodily sensations and make decisions based on what feels safe and comfortable for them. By offering choices, TCTSY practice might help trauma survivors feel more in control of their bodies and experiences during the practice. This emphasis on choice is linked to another key tenet of TCTSY, which is non-coercion.
