TRE Workshops

The workshops are an experiential introduction to the Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE). The teaching of TRE is preceded by some simple breathing exercises and gentle stretches to help direct the participant's awareness out of their heads and into their bodies. From the feedback of many workshop participants this is a very soothing way to prepare anybody to experience TRE.

What is TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises)

TRE is a gentle, simple and profound technique that facilitates the lengthening and relaxation of the psoas muscle. This relaxation provides a very effective release of physical and emotional tension and stress. The psoas is a very thick, deep and stubborn muscle that acts as a guardian of our lower belly. In its role of protector of our organs it contracts and tightens, becoming shorter in response to life's small and big traumatic experiences. A tight psoas can cause many problems including sciatica and lower back pain, just to mention a few.


------

TRE was developed by David Berceli, a bioenergetic therapist, who has used it successfully all over the world for almost two decades working with soldiers, police officers, fire fighters and survivors of war, earthquakes and other traumatic circumstances to help alleviate the many symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.


The TRE exercises work the legs, tiring them and creating a trembling response, which begins in the legs and often spreads throughout the body. This gentle shaking is actually the nervous system's way of discharging long-held tension or unconscious
muscle contraction in order to restore the body to wholeness.


Yoga and TRE

Maria has been teaching Yoga since 1997 in California and internationally. She developed her "Yoga and TRE" workshops six years ago with the initial intention of bringing this remarkable technique to her yoga community. As it turned out this workshop attracted not only the yoga practitioners but also many people who knew little about yoga.
.
From the feedback of many workshop participants, a gentle hour long Yoga practice is a very soothing way to prepare anybody to receive the very kinesthetically oriented work of TRE. Some deep breathing and a few basic asanas helps direct people's awareness out of their heads and into their bodies. Their body's wisdom can then do the rest.

"Yoga and TRE" is suitable for people of all ages and levels of fitness! The Yoga in the workshop is simple and the TRE exercises can be modified to accommodate anybody's needs. Maria creates a supportive environment which makes people feel safe and she leads her workshops with compassion and sense of humor.
