Yoga and mindfulness are techniques proven effective in providing mental, emotional, and physical healing and truly have their place in behavioral healthcare by helping individuals reconnect with their bodies and their emotions, while calming the mind.
At Fenix Recovery, as part of trauma-informed care, individuals have the option to engage in yoga and mindfulness, which is helpful to ensure the recovery and healing process from trauma from a holistic perspective.
Yoga is a mind-body practice for enhancing strength and flexibility while fostering relaxation. The concept or practice of mindfulness is being attentive to and focused on the present while being open and non-judgmental.
Both yoga and mindfulness can enable individuals to develop awareness of how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations relate to one another.
These are not issues of perfection, of performing; these are issues of presence, self-compassion, healing.
Stress, trauma, and mental well-being often compromise an individual’s ability for self-regulation in his or her body and life situation. Yoga and mindfulness create balance by soothing an individual’s physiology and providing a sense of safety in the body.
