Therapeutic Yoga Event for professionals

Come along for a morning exploring the uses of somatic and body-based approaches in therapeutic work.

We'll look at how body-based practices can be helpful for professionals, either for awareness and care of their own emotional and physical stress from client work, or as ways to add to existing somatic work with clients.

You'll get to settle in and experience a taster session of yin yoga, as a technique to increase interoception, experiment with creating discomfort and listening for reflex responses to it.

Afterwards, with time together over teas & coffees, we'll look at how it can be useful as resilience training, and in trauma-related work, for titration and working around window of tolerance.

The morning will be hosted upstairs at Empower Health Club, in the new health studio. Fully equipped with all the props and kit needed, so you only need to bring yourself and come in comfortable clothes.

Friday 23rd January, 9:30-12pm, £40/person

Empower Health Club, 50 Cornagrade Road, Enniskillen, BT74 6DX

The yin practice is mainly floor-based, passive stretching, so doesn't require any previous experience of yoga, or any flexibility.

Yin involves targeted, static and sustained loading of tissues, which regular movement and exercise don't usually reach.

How you use it is very individual though, and practitioners approach it from a range of perspectives - physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic.

In therapeutic terms, it has been integrated alongside existing modalities like Internal Family Systems, and sensorimotor psychotherapy and is showing great potential within trauma-informed practice.

This event is being offered to counselling and psychotherapy professionals, as well as other practitioners who work closely with their clients and meet their physical and emotional stresses - complementary therapists, yoga teachers, coaches, mindfulness and meditation teachers, breathwork instructors and more.

Feel free to contact me with any requests or queries,

Looking forward to working with you in this New Year session,
