Healing Yoga - Lidingö

Healing yoga is a type of yoga with a therapeutic focus on recovery from fatigue, burnout, trauma, PTSD (post-traumatic stress) and other conditions developed by Jennie Liljefors. She has based the form on her own experience of healing from a sexual trauma in young years. 

If we feel tired, stressed or suffering from PTSD, sadness, depression, infertility, PMS, menopause or other physical or mental illness, this form of yoga is a great tool for recovery and healing. 

To heal a trauma with the help of yoga is very powerful, it's a heroic journey where you can do a great deal of work on your own, but it requires patience. With yoga we work with the negative effects we suffer from when we had a traumatic experience such as poor breathing tense muscles and trouble focusing, we don’t actually need to work on the trauma itself with can be a great relief. By practicing yoga in a safe environment we can be reconciled with ourselves. By letting the yoga become a new habit, we strengthen the inner self and become both more at ease and more effective.
