About your facilitator
Suzanne Ellis combines Trauma Informed Yoga with iRest Meditation which is also a well researched protocol to help treat symptoms of trauma, anxiety and depression. She also integrates Neuroeffective Touch™ and Somatic Experiencing™ techniques into her private sessions where appropriate.
Trauma is stored in the body and yoga and meditation are a gentle way of gradually unlocking and releasing trauma. We do this by learning to be in the present moment, sensing the body and breath and the environment around us.
