A revolutionary technique in trauma healing and stress reduction.
Neurogenic Yoga™ is a sister method of TRE® that combines yoga postures (asana) and breathing exercises (pranayama) with the body’s natural, therapeutic shaking response called Self Induced Therapeutic Tremors (SITT). Neurogenic Yoga™ is a simple, gentle and profound practice that facilities the lengthening and relaxation of the psoas muscle and the release of physical and emotional stress and tension. During a Neurogenic Yoga™ practice, we safely self-induce therapeutic vibration using yoga postures and breath. Often vibration begins in the legs and may spread throughout the entire body.
The Neurogenic Yoga Certification Program has merged with the TRE Certification Program Participants will now be certified in both Neurogenic Yoga and TRE in one integrated training. This dual certification is only open to experienced yoga teachers.
If you have ever gotten up to speak in front of an audience and gotten “knocking knees”, been in a car accident and found yourself shaking afterwards, or found yourself angry and had shaking in your belly or other body parts, then you have experienced this type of vibration. Since this shaking mechanism in the muscles is part of our natural behavior as humans, everyone can benefit. These self-induced therapeutic tremors increase the resiliency of the body because they cause deep relaxation that naturally reduce stress levels and muscle contraction. These vibrations can release emotions ranging from mild upset to severe anxiety whether it is caused by work stress, excessive worry, conflict in relationships, physical stress, or traumas from accidents. Additionally, tremoring has been reported to reduce and eliminate pain, increase mobility, and aid healing of recent and past injuries.
Whether you are a parent/spouse who would like more patience with your family, a survivor of violence or an accident, a soldier suffering with PTSD, or simply someone who wants to become more resilient and healthier, you can benefit from Neurogenic Yoga.
Our integrative format gives you the unique opportunity to become certified in Neurogenic Yoga and Tension and TRE® in one seamless program.
The Neurogenic Yoga/Tension and TRE® Dual Certification Program is geared specifically for experienced yoga instructors (see prerequisites) who seek to integrate therapeutic tremoring into the yoga class setting as well as facilitate TRE®.
TRE® is a safe and effective stress release technique for most people. The TRE process should not be used as a substitute for trauma recovery procedures of a medical or psychological nature. Individuals who have physical or psychological/psychiatric conditions that require strict regulation, individuals with fragile psychological defenses, a complex history of trauma or restricting physical or medical limitations should consult their medical practitioner or a Certified TRE Provider prior to performing these exercises.
