The Program
Tension and traumatic experiences settle in the body and are often experienced as physical sensations.
​
In an effort to escape these sensations, dissociation can become a go-to state. This is often an obstacle in cognitive therapy, but also creates problems in daily life and relationships.
​
Physical practices are a very effective tool to release excess tension, facilitate a more grounded state, and create awareness around dissociation. This plays an important part in any healing process.
In this module, Suze will explain the way tension settles in the body. You will learn how this impacts the nervous system, HPA-axis, but also at the fascia and certain muscles.
The theory will be made applicable through different physical practices that facilitate the release of tension and create safety in the body resulting in a more embodied state. You will experience the physical and mental effects of different movement modalities.
The movement modalities shared in this training go beyond the common restorative and meditative yoga practices. They include mobility, posture, functional strength, tension release, balance, and grounding.
