Yoga & TRE
with Maria Alfaro

Date: Saturday, February 27, 2010
Time: 1-3:30 pm
Cost: $35 before Feb 1, $45 after

TRE is a simple, gentle and profound technique that facilitates the relaxation of the psoas muscle and the release of physical and emotional tension and stress.

The TRE exercises tire the legs, triggering an involuntary shaking and trembling response, which begins in the legs and often spreads throughout the body. This shaking is actually the nervous system’s way of discharging long-held tension or unconscious muscle contraction in order to restore the body to wholeness.

TRE, developed by David Berceli, a bioenergetic therapist, has been used successfully all over the world for more than a decade. Our body is the greatest ally for healing trauma. An hour session of gentle and all levels Yoga will precede the revolutionary Trauma Release Exercises facilitated by Maria Alfaro.
