This event is to explore the possibilities of TRE® and release tension - we as South Africans live in constant fear, stress and tention. These tools can help you to cope better.TRE® (Tension and Trauma Release Exercise) is a simple set of movements that turn on our body’s natural re balancing process – providing immediate relaxation. By releasing everything from everyday stress to deeply held physical tension and trauma, TRE® frees us up to meet life’s challenges with greater skill and ease. Our bodies do the work; we get relief without needing to process or retell our story.TRE® as a new method to manage stress and release trauma, works on many levels:

Neurologically: helps to restore the capacity of the brain to operate from higher cortical functions – improving concentration & focus and helps to restore our autonomic nervous system – leaving us feeling calmer, more peaceful, balanced and connectedAnatomically: helps to relax muscles and fascia improving posture and mobilityBiochemically: helps to rebalance the body’s chemistry thereby restoring homeostasisWatch this 5 minute video below for a quick explanation:

TRE® is a powerful modality to assist a wide variety of individuals and groups to cope better with the demands of life. While it is extremely effective as a stand-alone practice, it also deepens all other stress-relief practices such as mindfulness, yoga, and meditation and supports trauma counselling and psychological interventions.The following improvements have been researched and confirmed after 3 months of continual TRE® ( two sessions per week average) :

Better sleeping patterns and quality of sleepLess anxiety and tension in everyday lifeLess reactivity and greater calm under stressSubstantial improvement of stress related muscle tension, especially neck and shoulder as well as lower back pain Less headache and migraineMore general flexibility of joints and stronger muscle toneImprovement of work and family relationsBetter self careGreater sense of empowermentAbility to stay away from unhealthy habits
