Is Bikram Yoga "Trauma-Sensitive"? | How Backward Bending is linked with Trauma Transformation and Release | Bikram Yoga 90-minute Class | Original Hot Yoga
Season 5, Episode 12, Aug 29, 2022, 11:57 AM
Bikram Yoga is many things. One of them is a trauma healer and transformer.
Although from the outside some people see Bikram Yoga as intense and extreme, it is, in fact, as gentle and trauma-sensitive as it gets. We are safe in the yoga room, and we do as much as we can, resting when needed.
But it's not just trauma-sensitive. Instead of protecting us from every movement which might cause us to revisit some stress of the trauma, we very, very gently contact it....allow it....wake it up, just a breath at a time, so that it can be transformed and we can heal as much as is possible!!
