In this 20 minute Discovery call we will explore what you're looking for and in what way I can support you.

In these 30 minute yoga sessions we will explore yoga poses focusing on body awareness, on interoception, our ability to sense what's going on in our body like awareness of the bodies sensation like a dry mouth when we’re feeling thirsty and on proprioception our body's ability to sense it's own position and movements in space like picking up something from the floor without losing balance. Through awareness, and especially through interoception, we can identify what's going on in our body and move from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic state, which is a first step to heal.

*In his worldwide recognised book The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma, Bessel van der Kolk, MD explained: “In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”
