The next group series begins 2 July 2026.

A 9-week Trauma Sensitive Yin healing journey for women, including a nurturing day retreat.

A Soft Place to Land is a trauma-sensitive Yin Yoga program supporting women to reconnect with themselves through rest, stillness, embodied awareness, and compassionate self-attention.

Unlike more active forms of yoga, Yin Yoga invites a slower pace and inward focus. Floor-based postures offer opportunities to notice internal experience without pressure to perform, achieve, or push beyond personal limits.

This practice gently supports nervous system regulation through principles such as titration — introducing manageable levels of sensation — and pendulation, the natural movement between effort and rest. Over time, participants are supported to build greater capacity to stay present with physical sensations, emotions, and internal experience.

Yin Yoga can be especially supportive for trauma survivors as it emphasises choice, autonomy, non-judgement, and self-compassion. The practice is accessible to a wide range of bodies and abilities, including those living with chronic pain, fatigue, stress, or limited mobility.

Through choice-based movement and consistent support, participants are invited to safely reconnect with their bodies, deepen mind-body awareness, and strengthen their capacity for self-regulation, rest, and trust.

What to Expect

Each 60-minute session includes a trauma-sensitive Yin practice designed to support gentle reconnection with the body in a safe and supportive environment.

As the weeks unfold, participants will also explore:

• the window of tolerance

• nervous system regulation

• the role of the vagus nerve

• stress, safety, and connection

• how the body naturally moves toward healing when given supportive conditions

These themes are woven through movement, breath, stillness, reflection, and shared experience — allowing understanding to be felt within the body, not only understood cognitively.

The program concludes with a nurturing retreat day, offering space to rest, integrate, and honour the journey.

Retreat Day

The 6-hour retreat offers a gentle and restorative space for participants to deepen connection with themselves and others.

The day includes:

• Yin and restorative practices

• time in nature

• quiet reflection

• unstructured moments for connection

• simple rituals for grounding, healing, and completion

As the program draws to a close, participants are invited, if they wish, to reflect on their experience, acknowledge their growth, and rest within the support of community.

Our intention is to create a space where participants feel supported to deepen understanding of how their body responds to stress, safety and connection - and to discover greater compassion toward themselves along the way.
