Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Nederland team works to make Trauma-Sensitive Yoga accessible to all, we love to see initiatives like @clairelalande’s project in Lesvos. The literature on refugee trauma, universal trauma responses and yoga find consensus in what is important in refugee-trauma treatment: safety, empowerment and connection. Our study “Exploring the Efficacy of the Embodiment Practice that is Trauma Sensitive Yoga as a Complementary Intervention for Refugees” (2019) showed how yoga, implemented from the ethic of non-violence with caution and cultural sensitivity can offer a safe place where connection and empowerment are promoted.
