Trauma Sensitive Yoga:
Inner Child Healing
An 8 week supported journey into your safety, choice and embodied awareness.
This small group program offers a gently paced exploration of trauma-sensitive yoga practices, with a focus on inner child awareness.
This journey prioritises grounding, choice and present moment safety, allowing participants to relate to past experiences after anchoring present day resources.
Practices are invitational, adaptable and centred on nervous system regulation.
The trauma sensitive yoga practices draw on evidence-based principles from Trauma Center Trauma‑Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY).
Together, these approaches support experiences of presence, empowerment and agency without pressure to change or fix anything.
Rather than focusing on “doing poses correctly,” the emphasis is on noticing internal experiences and developing a kinder, more attuned relationship with your body.
Our 8 Sessions Journey

Choice and distance
Session 4 – Inner Child Awareness

The trauma therapy is a life saver for me especially during such trying times. It became a solace that I look forward to every week. The classes made me more aware and connected to my feelings and what are my triggers which in turn give me the ability to manage my emotions better. Definitely highly recommended for anyone seeking self healing or inner peace when going through any challenges in life.

Your Facilitators
KRISA QIU
She integrates trauma-sensitive yoga with body-based practices and inner child integration approaches to create safe, choice-centred spaces.
Trained in traditional Yoga practices in India, Krisa brings a grounded, non-performative style to her teaching at Bliss Shala, where meditation and embodied awareness remain at the heart of her work.
YEE TING
She believes in yoga as a pathway toward self-discovery, inner growth, and healing — a practice that invites curiosity rather than performance.
Her personal exploration led her to the work of Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, an approach that deeply resonates with her values of gentleness, autonomy, and embodied awareness. Rooted in trauma-informed principles, her offerings emphasize choice, agency, and present-moment experience.
It weaves together trauma sensitive yoga with gentle inner child work, supporting participants in reconnecting with themselves at a pace that feels steady and sustainable.
This program prioritises safety, invitational language and choice that you are the expert on your own body.
This program can support you if:
You feel easily overwhelmed, anxious or on edge
You struggle to rest or switch off, even when tired
You tend to over function, over give or carry too much responsibility for others
You notice a harsh inner critic or constant self doubt
You feel disconnected from your body or emotions
You often react quickly and later wish you had responded differently
You experience tension in the body ( for example: jaw, shoulders, chest, stomach)
You feel “stuck” in old relational patterns
You seek to understand how early experiences can shape your current responses
You are ready to face the issues at your own pace
You wish to regulate your nervous system in a safe, contained small group space
This programme is supportive and body-based but not a substitute for clinical therapy or mental health treatment.
