The Body Remembers: How Yoga Can Release Stored Trauma


Listen Later

Anouk Prop shares her inspirational journey from working as a psychologist to becoming a trauma therapist and yoga teacher. She recounts how traditional Hatha yoga initially interested her, but as she delved deeper, she discovered the power of Ashtanga. Anouk's experiences in India revealed the potential of yoga in healing trauma. This realization led her to shift her career focus, integrating yoga practices into her therapeutic approach. Anouk highlights the importance of trauma sensitivity, presence, and the power of touch within the context of yoga teaching. She also discusses her current work with individual therapy clients and trauma-sensitive yoga classes.
