TRE® Group Shake - Trauma Releasing Exercises

"It's like having a massage from the inside out!"

Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) is a simple yet profound practice that enables us to access a natural reflex in the body that's felt as tremoring, shaking or vibration. This reflex releases stress, tension and trauma through embodiment, connection and movement.

This Group Shake offers an introduction to TRE, a guided experience of the whole process including the exercises, an exploration of your body shaking, delicious time to rest and integrate. We then come back together in circle for sharing and open questions. Many report feeling calmer, more embodied, relaxed and having less tension after trying TRE.

Those with all levels of experience are welcome, from complete beginners to seasoned shakers.

Sunday 6 September 4 - 6pm
Abuelita's, Hackney Downs Studios, E8 2BT

Why try TRE®?
TRE is fun, restorative and nourishing for our nervous systems. Whilst shaking is generally misunderstood or pathologised, it can be the 'missing link' for recovery from stress or trauma. TRE offers a doorway to meeting and engaging with deeper parts of our physiology and find resolution by following our body's innate intelligence.

TRE can:

• Allow the body to release old stuck defense strategies and turn down ‘over-protective’ reflexes

• Activate the vagus nerve and regulate the nervous system

• Reduce tension from within the muscles and fascia

• Promote feelings of safety, connection and groundedness

• Improve mood, sleep, digestion, pain, and emotional regulation and relationships

Once learnt, you have this amazing practice you can continue to engage with and support you for life!

Advisory Info (please read before booking!)

All participants must be over 18 years old.

All levels are welcome, from regular shakers to those completely new to TRE. We will be learning a set of 7 simple exercises that are designed to gently fatigue and stretch big muscle groups so we can reconnect to the tremor reflex.

A group class is not recommended for anyone with severe trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, burnout and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It is recommended to initially work in private sessions.

This group is not suitable if you are currently pregnant. If you have had a recent operation, surgery or experienced a serious injury, it is best to allow yourself a minimum of 3 or more months to recover before doing TRE.
