The next group series begins 9 October 2025.

A Soft Place to Land is a 10-week Trauma Sensitive Yin healing journey for women, which includes a nurturing day retreat.

Unlike more active forms of yoga, Yin Yoga invites participants towards a slower pace, cultivating inward attention. Floor-based postures provide opportunities to observe internal experiences without pressure to perform. The practice supports titration (introducing manageable levels of sensation) and pendulation (moving between effort and rest), helping participants build tolerance to physical and emotional experience. 

Yin Yoga is especially suited for trauma survivors as it emphasizes non-judgement, autonomy, and self-compassion, while offering accessibility for all bodies including those with chronic pain or limited mobility. Through choice-based movement and consistent support, participants are empowered to safely reconnect with their bodies, deepen mind-body awareness and strengthen their capacity for self-regulation and trust. 

Each 60-minute session includes a trauma-sensitive yin practice to help participants gently reconnect with their bodies in a safe and supported environment. As the weeks progress, participants will explore concepts such as the window of tolerance, the role of the vagus nerve, and how the body naturally moves toward healing when given the right conditions. These learning moments are integrated with movement, breath, stillness, and reflection, allowing knowledge to be felt, not just understood. The program concludes with a nurturing retreat, offering space to integrate and reflect on the journey.

The 6-hour retreat day will bring the community together to deepen integration. It includes gentle Yin and restorative practices, nourishing breathing techniques, group reflection, journaling, and gentle rituals for closure. Participants will have the option to engage in a "Body Mapping for Joy" activity to explore where they feel strength, ease, or peace in their body, and a "Strength Card" activity to name and honor the qualities they've discovered or reclaimed. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences (if comfortable), celebrate their growth, and rest deeply in the safety of community. This retreat marks a soft landing at the end of a transformative journey.

Our intention is to create a space where participants feel supported to build a deeper understanding of how their body responds to stress, safety and connection.
