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

This programme explores trauma sensitive principles with grounding, embodiment and inner child healing.

The outline is fluid and each session responds to the group’s pace and capacity. Less doing, more awareness.

Our emphasis is on:

Safety
Choice
Present-moment orientation
Embodiment

Session 1 – Grounding and Embodiment

Everything is first felt through the body
Facilitator vs instructor (shared exploration rather than correction)
Defining trauma and protective responses
How to use this space safely

Session 2 – Protective Patterns & Inner Dialogue

Understanding how you have learned to protect yourself
Awareness of “doing” vs “being”
Exploring identity through “I…” statements

Session 3 – Trauma & the Body

How experiences are stored in the body
Pre-verbal memory and sensation
Choice and distance

Session 4 – Inner Child Awareness

Connection to younger parts of self
Identifying inherited beliefs (“I should / I must / I cannot”)
Body resourcing

Session 5 – Self Compassion and Mirror Work

Meeting fear with grounding
Offering oneself the words that were needed

Session 6 – Autonomy and Anchoring

Strengthening choice and autonomy
Creating safety internally and externally

Session 7 – Allies and Support

Recognising internal and external allies
Anchoring supportive practices

Session 8 – Reflection and Closure

Carrying practices forward

Important Principles

No hands on adjustments
No requirement to share personal stories
No emotional catharsis expected
Participants remain oriented to the present

Each session will be 2 hours and kept small. This is a closed group program from Week 3 to ensure safety and predictability in the group.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

This session can be scheduled at during the program and up to 2 weeks after for:

The intention is to provide a space where participants can feel supported and steady as they integrate the work.

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.

Thank you Krisa, for doing what you do, providing us the safe space and facilitating and walking with us through this healing journey. The energy is exceptional!

Your Facilitator

KRISA QIU

Krisa is a certified Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) facilitator from 2019, trained through the Center for Trauma and Embodiment at the Justice Resource Institute in United States.

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.

This programme was developed by Krisa, a certified Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) facilitator since 2019.

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 program is supportive and body based but not a substitute for clinical therapy or mental health treatment.

What made all the difference was how Krisa (together with Yee Ting) held that space. There was never any pressure to explain, fix, or push through anything. I always felt accepted exactly as I was. That sense of safety allowed me to process things at my own pace, which I don’t think I’ve experienced very often.

Trauma-sensitive yoga turned out to be much more than just yoga. It gave me a safe space to slow down, reconnect with myself, and meet parts of my inner child that I’d probably ignored for a long time. It wasn’t always easy. There were many moments where emotions surfaced unexpectedly, and I found myself in tears.

I’m leaving this experience feeling more connected to myself and with a little more compassion for the person I’m becoming. Thank you for the experience
