Inspired by the rhythm of Sun Salutations, we repeat simple poses with mindful attention to the spine, allowing every movement to unfold smoothly and effortlessly.

This is the third in a series of Yoga Therapy videos that are informed by my Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma training with Arielle Schwartz. These practices help us nourish the nervous system, reconnect with our bodies, ground ourselves in the present moment, release unresolved patterns of fight, flight, freeze and anchor in resilience and self-kindness via a personalised yoga practice and time for reflection.

BOLSTER, BLOCK AND BLANKET

A soothing sequence of movement and marma massage to calm internal heat, release pressure, and support Pitta and Pitta-Kapha balance.

This practice invites you into the anchoring, wave-like rhythm of ujjayi — a breath that soothes the mind, steadies the nervous system, and reconnects you with inner presence.

STRAP, BLOCK, BLANKET

This grounding practice brings together meditative awareness, gentle movement, and marma point massage to support balance in vata and vata-pitta patterns — and is a powerful reset for all doshic types when the system feels scattered or overwhelmed.

A deeply balancing pranayama practice, Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana) works to harmonise the two sides of the nervous system — the active and the restful, the solar and the lunar, the agni (processing fire) and the soma (nectar).

A gentle and clarifying foundational breath practice to bring awareness to the left and right energy channels (nadis) of the body. By breathing slowly and intentionally through one nostril at a time—first left, then right—we begin to observe subtle differences in breath quality, temperature, and ease of flow.

Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) for Calm, Clarity & Control

A return to your whole breath—bottom to top, inside to out.

This foundational practice gently guides you to breathe fully, using the diaphragm, ribs, and upper chest in one smooth, expansive wave.

A gentle unraveling of breath from the spine outward.

This practice is designed to soften the space around your diaphragm and open the channels that support free, easeful breathing. Through five foundational shapes—forward fold, backbend, inversion, side bend, and twist—you’ll release tension in the spine, ribs, and belly, making space for breath to move more fully and naturally.

The breath of calm, stability, and deep inner rhythm.

This practice reconnects you to your primary breathing muscle—the diaphragm—inviting breath to return to the belly, where it belongs when we’re at rest and in balance.

A simple return to safety, softness, and self-connection.

Belly breathing is one of the most accessible and effective ways to soothe the nervous system and bring your awareness down and in. By guiding the breath gently into the lower belly, this practice helps shift you out of stress-mode (sympathetic) and into a calm, regulated state (parasympathetic).

A gentle awakening to the breath just as it is.

Before we change or shape the breath, we simply meet it. Breath awareness is the foundational practice of observing the breath—its rhythm, depth, and movement—without trying to control it. It’s where all pranayama begins.
