SAFE YOGA SPACE

What do you look for in the space when attending a yoga group practice.
What stops you from attending some spaces and why?

Does incense bother you?
Not being able to move your mat?
Lotsa lycra?

SUBTLE YOGA CAN HAVE POTENCY.

Apart from the huge list of therapeutic benefits from slow, subtle yoga, such as nervous system regulation, better digestion, reduced depression, improved breathing, and sexual self-actualization, subtle yoga can offer a deeper dive into the somatic richness of Self (capital S), a valuable part of healing trauma / glaciers.

Feedback from my TCTSY group course weekly practice shared insights today on how we don’t have to be doing more to receive more — and by doing less, slowing down, choosing to be really present in our bodies, fertile ground for interoception to flourish and healing trauma to naturally occur.

They can choose whether being still or moving is serving with this relationship of embodiment.
Whilst TCTSY offers choices in pace and performance, most participants end up slowing down, not speeding up, to connect with their individual flow of prana that serves them best.

Perhaps the choice-making is the key to self-awareness — quite often not offered in mainstream fast-fitness, highly-cued yoga practices.

So ~

Are you tired of the one-size-fits-all approach to yoga?

Are you looking for a better mind-body connection?

Are you looking for a safe space that’s less about being pushed into yoga asanas and more about your body and mind’s needs?

Are you healing trauma and pursuing post-growth awakening?

Are you seeking more mental health–aware yoga?

Book a self-care package, or join a TCTSY course, and we’ll use trauma-sensitive yoga therapy to guide us into an embodied Self-practice.

Have you ever noticed your body start to shake?

Maybe during a yoga class, after a Pilates session, following childbirth, or in the middle of a panic attack. These moments can feel unsettling — even frightening — but they are not signs of weakness. They are your body’s natural healing mechanisms at work.

In this blog, I explore how spontaneous shaking — from yogic kriyas to TRE tremors — reflects the wisdom of prāṇa, and how learning to work with these movements can support safety, regulation, and belonging. If this resonates with you, stay with me — and consider joining a Foundational TRE Course, now enrolling, where you can explore these practices in a safe, guided way.

Yoga is no longer being treated as something supplementary.
It’s being recognised for what it truly is: essential.

Attitudes are changing: a new global report reveals that yoga is a powerful path to wellbeing and therapeutic care not just exercise. This is something that we at the Minded Institute have witnessed for years: a major global shift in how yoga is understood - and used.

Yoga is no longer seen as just a series of postures. It’s increasingly recognised as a comprehensive wellbeing practice, one that includes breathing techniques, meditation, and lifestyle integration, with tangible benefits for both mental and physical health.

People are turning to yoga not for performance, but for support:
🧠 to manage anxiety and burnout
🫁 to regulate the nervous system
💓 to prevent and ease conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic stress
🧘‍♀ and to cultivate clarity, presence, and emotional resilience.

📈 The EMR report projects sustained global growth through 2034, fuelled by rising demand for preventative, integrative approaches to health.

With growing recognition of yoga’s full therapeutic scope, this is a pivotal moment for yoga therapy—unleashing long-awaited momentum.

This is a landmark moment for yoga therapy, a field The Minded Institute has helped shape by combining traditional yogic knowledge with scientific rigour to support mental health, chronic conditions, and whole-person care.

Yoga is no longer being treated as something supplementary.
It’s being recognised for what it truly is: essential.
