Healing Through Yoga

At Mayura, we honour the profound intersection of yoga and trauma-informed practices, recognising the power of somatic integration in facilitating healing and transformation. Trauma, whether rooted in past experiences or ancestral imprints, resides not only in the mind but also in the body and can be present for up to eleven generations. As Bessel van der Kolk eloquently articulates in his seminal work, "The Body Keeps the Score," our bodies bear witness to our lived experiences, storing memories and emotions in every sinew and cell.

Incorporating trauma-informed yoga into our practice creates a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their inner landscape with compassion and mindfulness. At Mayura, we prioritise creating a space that honours each individual's unique journey and fosters a sense of safety, empowerment, and agency. Central to trauma-informed yoga is the integration of somatic practices, which invite practitioners to cultivate a deeper awareness of bodily sensations, emotions, and subtle energetic shifts. Through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindful awareness, we guide you on a journey of self-discovery, inviting them you listen to the wisdom that resides within your own body.

However, the path of somatic integration may sometimes unearth old wounds and unresolved traumas, stirring dormant emotions and memories. In these moments of vulnerability, we hold space with gentleness and compassion, acknowledging that healing is a nonlinear process that unfolds in its own time.

Join us at Mayura as we journey inward, embracing the transformative power of trauma-informed yoga and somatic integration. Together, let us weave a tapestry of healing, resilience, and embodied liberation.

Namaste.
