trauma & nervous system aware movement

Program Description

We offer multiple weekly movement classes — including yoga, Pilates and strength training — designed specifically for neurodivergent folk and individuals who have experienced trauma.


Our sessions are facilitated by experienced professionals across social work, occupational therapy, yoga, Pilates and strength training. Each class is grounded in trauma-informed, nervous system-aware practice. 


We believe movement, connection and community inclusion are core pillars of health and healing. Yet many mainstream fitness and wellness spaces are not trauma-informed, which can unintentionally exclude those who need supportive environments the most. 


Our program offers more than movement. We provide inclusive, relational spaces with trauma-trained facilitators, reduced power differentials, and the freedom to show up exactly as you are on the day. Choice, consent and autonomy are woven into every class. 


We integrate principles of bottom-up healing, recognising that the body and nervous system play a central role in recovery. Safety is built through consistency and predictability — key foundations for regulation and trust. 


Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of healing — often more impactful than the specific modality used. We prioritise consistency, care and attuned facilitation to create a secure and supportive environment for growth.

Our classes

Yoga - Check In or Check Out

We offer Hatha and Yin yoga. Our approach is human centred and explorative. You get to choose to move toward or away from sensations. 

Strength Training - Inner Work or Working Out

We're not about to tell you what to eat, how many steps to take, or how many times a week you need to exercise. Work out without having it all "worked out." 

Pilates - The Core of the Matter

If you’re looking to strengthen muscles and joints as well as improve posture, flexibility, mobility and balance Pilates may help.
