This class combines yoga asana and pranayama with the body’s natural, therapeutic shaking response. This shaking response in humans is the nervous system’s way of discharging long-held tension and trauma, or unconscious muscle contraction in order to restore the body to wholeness. These neurogenic tremors increase the resiliency of the body because they cause deep relaxation that naturally reduces stress levels and muscle contraction. These vibrations can release emotions ranging from mild upset to severe anxiety whether it is caused by work stress, excessive worry, conflict in relationships, physical stresses, or traumas from accidents. Additionally, tremoring has been reported to reduce and eliminate pain, increases mobility, and aid healing of recent and past injuries.

When in a group, our nervous systems connect to each other and regulate towards each other. Our bodies and brain waves synchronize to reach a state of resonance. This enables us to feel grounded and gives our body a sense of connection with the energy fields around us. Using TRE® to expand our awareness of how our systems emerge and establish, these group classes will be a deep but playful path of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Participant numbers are limited to ensure an intimacy to the teaching.
