TRE™ (Tension&Trauma Releasing Exercises)
BOOK YOUR TRE™ SESSION, private or a group teaching session and let's start shaking
Tension and trauma releasing exercises, TRE™ is a method to help let go of deep-seated muscles tension, we often build up by fatigue, stress and/or trauma. These exercises are a safe and natural way to release stuck emotions/energy we often hold in our bodies. TRE™ can even loosen up places where massage can’t reach.
Yoga and TRE™ are going hand in hand and for me that was an amazing discovery. Many of us are already familiar with the benefits of yoga but most of us never heard about TRE™.
So what is TRE™?
TRE™ is a safe way to release tension in our bodies, tension that maybe have been building up during the years. But TRE™ is also a helpful tool to deal with the daily things in life we bump into and that could give us feelings of unease, fear, frustration, irritation etc. If we take care of our bodies in a simple effective way and be able not to let something small build up to something big, how much easier would our lives then be? The aim of TRE™ is to soften the body, to release these held tensions and to bring the body back to its natural state, which means into a balance where all systems are working in harmony. With TRE™ we are not going into the reason why the tension was build up, we’ll only work with the body, which makes it safe to practise.
Frequently asked questions
Would TRE™ be a safe practise for me?
Start to practise with a certified TRE™ provider who can keep your practise safe. When you're ready you can do this practise on your own. Once you've finished your beginners sessions, you can attend monthly group shakes whenever you feel you need some more community and support.
Does practising TRE™ improves your sleep?
A lack of sleep is not good for our health and well-being and when we experience sleeping difficulties it is often a symptom that something is out of balance. Sleeplessness is often the signal that stress, anxiety and tension are causing the “sleep mechanism” to not activate properly.
TRE™ provides deep muscular relaxation, which TRE™ elicit, induces the body to activate the rest/digest, relaxation response of the parasympathetic nervous system that allows the body to sleep. Resiliency can be attained when the individual can work, respond to stress, play, and then rest. If deep adequate rest, and the relaxation response, is not a part of the individual’s daily life, resiliency is compromised.
New research suggests that TRE™ reduces the severity of RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome).

What is happening during the tremoring and shaking?
The tremors are a involuntarily internal neuro-physiological natural response to release tension and to soften the body. The body expresses itself in shaking and tremoring, as well as in other movements like vibrating, stretching, twisting and more. TRE™ is a safe way to release tension that might have been build up over a long period of time.
