Biodynamic craniosacral therapy - getting out of your head and into your body
The leading trauma psychiatrist Bessel Van Der Kolk author of the best selling non-fiction book - 'The Body keeps the Score' recommends craniosacral therapy - "And for my patients, I always recommend that they see somebody who helps them to really feel into their body, experience their body, open up to their bodies. And I refer people always to craniosacral work or Feldenkrais, I think those are all very important components about becoming a healthy person."
Gentle yoga group classes
Each Monday evening at the beautiful Thaedra yoga and somatic meditation studio in Torquay we come together to move, breathe, connect and feel in a gentle yoga class with mutual respect. The space is welcoming and warm, a place where you can come as you are and spend time without distraction from life's everyday demands. A space that is filled with good vibes, home made chai and no judgement. This is not about being a pretzel or a board, this is about you coming as you are and meeting you in your body, in the moment, slowing down and feeling, gently moving, gently mobilising and noticing how things shift, change and equalise. This is a safe, welcoming space for you...
Tension, trauma, pain, embodiment and healing - biodynamic craniosacral therapy
"Biodynamic craniosacral therapy, felt sense yoga and somatic mediation all support the development of present time awareness of the body eg. body mindfulness, embodiment, sensing. This is not an idea of the body conjured by the rational mind, nor is it about perceiving ‘energy’ or ‘past lives’ or chakras but it is about actually experiencing the sensations of the body from the feeling of our bones and blood flow, to a sense of our organs, to the fluids and nerves, to the activity of the brain, knowing those sensations on an intricate level and through that, realising that the body is fluid, full of spaces and movement."
