Release, Restore & Reconnect - TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release) & Somatics Class

FAQs

• Do I need any previous experience with TRE® or somatic practices?

  No. The class is suitable for beginners as well as those with previous experience. Everything will be guided, and you are always encouraged to work at your own pace and listen to your body.

• What is TRE®?

  TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) is a gentle sequence of exercises designed to activate the body's natural tremoring response, helping to release accumulated stress and tension and support nervous system regulation.

• What should I wear?

  Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Most of the class is gentle and done either standing or lying on a mat.

• What should I bring?

  The centre provides yoga mats, blankets and bolsters. You are welcome to bring your own blanket for extra comfort during the floor practice, as well as a water bottle.

• When should I avoid doing TRE®?

  TRE® may not be suitable in some circumstances, including during pregnancy, following recent surgery or significant injury, or when certain medical or psychological conditions are present. If you are unsure whether TRE® is appropriate for you, please contact me before booking. You may also wish to check with your healthcare professional.

• What if the tremoring feels too strong?

  TRE® is a self-regulating practice, and an important part of learning it is recognising when to slow down, pause or stop. You will be guided throughout the session and encouraged to stay within a range that feels manageable and supportive for your nervous system.

• Can I attend if I have done TRE® before?

  Absolutely. The classes are designed to support both those learning TRE® for the first time and those who would like an ongoing space to practise and deepen their relationship with the process.
