Trauma Healing Yoga stems from neuroscience, developmental psychology and interpersonal biology, where we consider that trauma impacts the body as much as the mind.
「創傷療癒瑜伽」源自神經科學、發展心理學和人際神經生物學，並且主張創傷對身心都同樣會造成影響。

A trauma is any event in life that was too much for us to handle at the time it happened. It can be anything from a car crash, having surgery, or surviving assault, to not feeling like our feelings were validated, not having a nurturing childhood environment, feeling forced to do things we didn’t want to, or needing to repress feelings.

Trauma can lead us to being unable to process what happened. We end up losing fragments of ourselves, which can disturb our nervous system. We will address the reason why we have low self-esteem, chronic pain, depression, or self harming behaviours in an intellectual way, where we combine healing the mind as well as the body.

創傷是指生命中任何讓人在當下感到無法承擔的事件。創傷有可能是出車禍、動手術或人身攻擊，也可能是個人感受不被認可、不良的童年成長環境、被迫使做出不希望做出的行爲或是被壓抑的感受。

人會因為創傷而無法面對這樣的經歷。最終會失去自己的一部分，進而擾動到神經系統。課程中會用身心療癒的角度來探討一個人沒有自尊心、慢性疼痛、憂鬱症或是自我傷害的原因。

Trauma Healing Yoga is a specific approach of yoga designed to rebalance the nervous system, which often gets stuck on our survival modes (fight, flight or freeze). Those survival modes are great to keep us alive. However, experiencing trauma means parts of us still live in the past and can’t get over overwhelming situations. We end up spending a lot of time being hyper-alert, afraid of potential threats in our daily routine, ready to run, fight for our life, or play dead. As a way to cope with this energy-consuming state that prevents us from enjoying life and radiating our full potential, we often develop unhealthy coping mechanisms (self-harm, eating disorders, addiction, depression, burnout, etc).

「創傷知情瑜伽」是一種特別的瑜伽訓練，專門爲了調適無法跳脫生存模式（戰鬥、逃跑或凍結不動）的神經系統。生存模式用來維護性命是一個很棒的工具。然而，創傷的經歷代表我們有一部分還活在過去，無法脫離一些難以面對的情形。這會導致我們花很多時間處在過度警戒狀態，害怕日常生活中潛在的威脅，隨時準備著逃跑、戰鬥或是裝死。我們往往會發展出不良的應付機制（自我傷害、飲食障礙、成癮、憂鬱、過勞倦怠等等）來面對這些耗費心力、阻撓我們享受人生和完全發揮個人潛能的極端狀態。

Through this two-hours workshop, participants will learn somatic tools to expand their resilience, cultivate the ability to resource and learn how to regulate themselves. The focus will be put on cultivating a sense of safety in the body with the support of curiosity and compassionate inquiry. Among the somatic tools, we will use our perceptions and senses, our ability to visualize, and cultivate a present-state awareness in order to choose what brings you balance. The yoga practice will consist of a slow yoga flow, inclusive for all levels and bodies.

工作坊的2個小時之中，學員將會學習到用身心學的方法來拓展個人的恢復力，培養再生的能力，並且學習如何自我調適。課程的重心是培養身體安全感，輔以好奇心和慈悲的自我探尋。在課程的身心學方法之中，我們將使用我們的感知和想像的能力，並且培養對當下狀態的察覺能力來選擇個人找回平衡的方式。本瑜伽課程動作流動之間較緩慢。歡迎各個層級和體型的學員報名參加。

Laura Martin is from Belgium and discovered the joy of movement early on in life. She was hooked on moving the body and loved the playfulness and freedom that came with it. Although she has always been a curious and passionate human, she experienced a disconnection with her body and it left her with self harming behaviours, chronic anxiety and she was burnt out. It wasn’t until she started practicing yoga and cleaned her diet that she began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. After finishing her second master's degree, she decided to follow that light and started a year-long journey in Asia with India as the first destination, where she completed a yoga teacher training program and Reiki energy healing program. This was the beginning of her healing journey and vocation in life. Since then, she has been dedicated to sharing the somatic tools for self-healing and helping people recognize and trust the light that they are.
