A gentle practice aimed at relaxing and loosening the tensions of a specific area, depending on the theme addressed. Self-massages will be offered to promote the release of accumulated tensions, targeted according to the theme of the class. A whole juxtaposing restorative, therapeutic and Yin yoga, with an intention of presence and kindness towards oneself. Consciousness with a global feeling, through slow movements and postures advocating relaxation, will be privileged. You will only come out more present, aware and relaxed. An invigorating, long-term effect.
July 1 | Self-appeasement for everyday life and great relaxation (or letting go): A gentle practice of restorative yoga, mobilizations and movement, self-massages and therapeutic tips aimed at self-soothing and better stress management and anxiety. To promote deep relaxation, a long guided relaxation will be complemented by a Yoga Nidra.
July 15 | For the stomach: A therapeutic practice for digestive health including postures from therapeutic yoga, gentle Hatha and restorative practices. A moment to relax this area of gathering, both energetically and physiologically. Self-massage techniques inspired by combined approaches (Trager approach, Thai massage, Swedish), will complete this gentle and calming practice.
July 29 | For the back: Take care of the back, in particular the thoracic and lumbar regions, in order to soften these areas involved in breathing and postural support. The intention will be to take care of these stressed areas on a daily basis through slow active postures promoting support and stability, gentle mobilization and passive restorative postures promoting decompression of the tissues in these regions. We will explore various self-massages for the area of the lower back, muscles along the spine and the thoracic region. * Material required: a small inflatable (or soft) ball for self-massages of the ” self-fasciatherapy type ”
August 12 | For the legs: To lighten heavy or tired legs by stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation to promote healthy venous return and drainage. Mobilizations, gentle movements, myotensive stretches (not passive), self-massage maneuvers inspired by lymphatic drainage will be explored. The intention is to lighten, invigorate and lighten the lower limbs carrying us daily.
August 26th | For hands and wrists: To relieve and lighten the hands and arms, which take, carry, transport and communicate on a daily basis. Gentle mobilizations and stretching, therapeutic and restorative yoga (supported passive postures), self-massages and the use of weights (blankets, sack of sand or rice), to calm and anchor, will be at the rendezvous. A moment to pamper your hands and wrists!

In this 5-week series of yoga, we will be engaged in Trauma Centered/informed care. This means that instead of receiving yoga instruction to learn to “do a pose right”, you will be invited to tune into your felt sense and to make choices about how you want to move. Although I will be guiding movement, offering options, you will be fully in control of your own practice, moving in and out of shapes as you like. I also will be making choices based on my own felt-experience of each moment.
There are many forms of trauma, and one common aspect is that trauma often includes an event or series of events that has compromised or erased (or continues to) our sense of self-agency and our capacity to make choices based on how we feel. This Embodied Healing series is a space to begin to gently reconnect to our physical sensations, our authentic selves and our own empowerment.
The on-line nature of the course more easily allows participants to opt in or out of any movement invitation without the self-consciousness that may arise at an in-person class. You choose whether to have your camera open or closed, whatever will support your practice. Doing movements in your own way, changing the tempo, doing something completely different, simply watching or listening to class, or opting out at any moment, are all welcome expressions of exploration!
In this movement-based class, there will be no discussion of traumatic experiences, no need to explain or justify your relationship to trauma. My hope is that we will be learning to make choices about how we want to move and feel, and nurturing our capacity for resilience, self-agency, and empowerment.
Fees:
95 $ taxes included for the 5 weeks series.
Each year, Marie-Daphné Roy, our founder, as well as Hélène Doucet-Beaupré, founder of Espace Metta, provide you with an enriching experience in a unique setting. You will experience meditation techniques in addition to practicing regenerating and energizing yoga.
