🌱 The Return to Form

Your Posture is Your Power.

The healing process is not just emotional.
It’s physical. Breath returns. Eyes lift. Voice rises.
You begin to reclaim the space that trauma once stole.

💪 Trauma-Informed Movement: A Gentle Reclamation Workout

This is not fitness. This is permission.
Your body does not need to "snap back." It needs to return to you.

This trauma-informed movement sequence is designed to support safety, reconnection, and nervous system recovery.

Warm-Up (5 Minutes)

• Seated belly breathing (hand on chest, hand on belly)

• Gentle head circles — slow, no rush

• Shoulder shrugs — up, back, and release

Phase I: Grounding (5 Minutes)

• Forward fold with bent knees — arms hanging

• Sit cross-legged, press palms together gently

• Rock side to side, hips in contact with floor

Phase II: Core Reconnection (8 Minutes)

• Hands on stomach — hum softly (vibration = vagus nerve)

• Pelvic tilt while lying on your back (no pressure)

• Knee-to-chest hug — breathe into hips

Phase III: Power Recovery (5–10 Minutes)

• Wall stand — lean gently with feet firm

• Warrior II pose (or a wide-leg grounded stance)

• Hands over heart: "This is my body. It belongs to me."

Cool Down (5 Minutes)

• Lay flat (savasana), eyes closed or covered

• Gentle jaw release

• Repeat aloud: "I am allowed to take up space."

Note: Stop at any time. Modify freely. Invite kindness into each move. Healing is not measured in sweat — it’s felt in safety.

You are not broken. You are returning.
