Tension and trauma releasing exercises, TRE®
TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE®’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. TRE® has helped many thousands of people globally.
TRE® is designed to be a self-help tool that, once learned, can be used independently as needed throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellness.
While TRE® uses specific exercises to fatigue and stretch muscles of the body to induce the shaking mechanism, Neurogenic Yoga uses gentle yoga postures, breath, and meditation.

A more affordable way to continue to explore your practice and to learn from one another’s experience. A closed group provides a wonderful container for deepening your relationship with TRE and neurogenic tremoring. I don’t have any dates as yet but please email me if you are interested so that I can gauge levels of demand and respond accordingly.
