Green Mountain Yoga

if you’re wondering what my online yoga sessions are like, it’s really simple: you always get to choose.

I show some options, and you decide what feels okay for your body. You can rest whenever you want, skip any pose, or do a different version. There’s no you-have-to-keep-up energy.

I don’t make any corrections to your postures (because whatever you’re doing is fine!), and you can keep your camera on or off, whatever feels right for you.

And really important: I’ll never ask you to ignore what your body is telling you.
If something doesn’t feel right, you’re always welcome to change it or take a pause.

That is still yoga 💚

if this sounds like the kind of space your nervous system might like, you can message DM me “Free Session” to try a trauma-sensitive yoga session for free.

We grow, we learn, we go through things, and sometimes what used to fit just… doesn’t anymore. And that’s not you being inconsistent or dramatic. It’s literally you learning more about yourself.

You get to choose again…

What feels good, what doesn’t, who you want close to you, what you want to give your energy to. There’s nothing wrong with changing and evolving. It’s actually really normal and healthy.

So if something in you is changing, that’s okay. You’re allowed. I love the idea that we can keep softening into new versions of ourselves. 💚 AJ

If today feels like a hard day, you can come for a walk with me 💚

24/12/2025

You’re welcome to try a short, trauma-sensitive check-in with me today.

Side note →

Take what supports you and leave the rest. What resonates for one person won’t necessarily resonate for you, and that’s completely normal and healthy. We’re all different, and part of this journey is seeing what works for your beautiful self.

Be gentle with yourself.

Sending you sunshine,

💚

Spring Semester is open, and I wanted to share a little more about what this space is like.

These are Trauma-sensitive yoga classes, which means we’re not here to shape the body into a pose or to push through. The focus is on choice, pacing, and moving in a way that feels respectful to your nervous system.

You won’t be asked to do anything in a certain way.

You’ll be invited to notice what feels supportive for you, and you can change your mind at any time.

In class, you’re welcome to:

- move, stay still, or rest
- take breaks without explaining yourself
- keep your camera on or off
- participate in the way that works for you that day

From January to April, the intention is to offer a steady, familiar place you can return to each week. Not to fix anything, but to support your system through consistency and choice.

Two ways to join:

- €75 for 1 weekly class (12 sessions)
- €130 for 2 weekly classes (24 sessions)

Early bird is available until Sunday, 11 January.

If this sounds like something your body might appreciate, you’ll find all details + registration via the link in bio. 💚

Sometimes your body is holding so many things at once… old memories, stress, worries, fear, trying to be there for everyone. And it makes total sense that you feel tired or overwhelmed.

None of that means you’re broken, your feelings make sense and your body is trying to protect you. You’re still worthy, even when you don’t feel good at all. You’re allowed to move slowly, to need support, and to put some things down for a while.

And if it ever feels supportive, you’re always welcome to join a session or send me a message… if and when it feels right for you 💚

Stillness can be tough for some of us, and. movement can be a kinder doorway for connecting with ourselves. In vinyasa, there’s space to explore more movement and activity (only if that feels right), which may support trauma healing for some people (like me 😊). For example, I don’t usually practice sitting meditation because walking meditation works better for me - I am someone who can connect more easily to my feelings, my thoughts, and my body when I am in movement.

It can also feel good to use movement to shift energy in your body. Healing can take time: for me, moving has helped with letting go of the “I have to be working on myself all the time” mindset. Take what feels right and leave the rest.

You are always welcome in the Vinyasa space.

Not everyone might understand why something was painful for you, and that can feel confusing or lonely. It doesn’t make your experience any less real.

Trauma can be shaped by so many things: your history, your nervous system, how much safety you had at the time, the support around you, how much choice you felt you had.

Two people might live through the same moment and carry completely different wounds.

You don’t have to compare your story.
You don’t have to prove how hard it was.
You don’t have to justify why it still hurts.

It can make so much sense that your body still remembers, especially if there was very little space, support, or choice when something painful happens.

Your story matters. You’re not alone.

On the days when everything feels heavy, getting out of bed might already be a really big thing. And that’s enough. The ups and downs of healing from trauma can be exhausting, and they’re also very normal.

I still have my struggles too. There are days when getting out of bed takes some effort.

But I won’t give up on myself. And I won’t give up on you. I’m healing alongside you, held by this beautiful community.

Be gentle with yourself today. I’m proud of you. 💚

It can feel really hard to know how to show up for someone who has been through trauma. Many loved ones want to support but don’t know what to say or do.

Often, what supports someone isn’t perfect advice. It’s the sense that their experience matters, they are understood, and that someone is here with them, without rushing or judging.

I keep noticing how powerful it can be when we simply stay close and listen.
Sometimes “I’m here, I’m taking you seriously” can already soften a very lonely place inside.

Not every word will fit every story. Still, words like these might feel supportive for some people:

“It makes so much sense that you feel this way after everything you’ve been through. Many people might feel like this in your place.”

“I’m not in a hurry. You can share as much or as little as you want.”

“What happened to you was not okay. No one deserves to experience that.”

“None of this is your fault. You did the best you could in a really hard situation.”

“If you’d like, I can stay here with you for a bit. We don’t have to fix anything or find answers. We can just sit or be quiet together.”

Sending you sunshine,

AJ 💚
