6 weeks
Release tension, support your nervous system, and rest deeply.
In this 6-week beginner-friendly course, you’ll explore the relationship between gentle movement, myofascial release, and restorative stillness. Each class begins with self-massage using therapy balls — we’ll roll to release tension, support breath, and invite ease into the body. We’ll also incorporate inflatable balls for guided breathing and somatic movement to help you settle and unwind.
From there, we transition into long-held restorative yoga poses supported by bolsters, blankets, and other props, allowing your body and mind to fully rest. Each week will focus on a different area of the body, offering a head-to-toe reset over the course of six weeks.You’ll leave class feeling soft, soothed, and deeply cared for.

4 weeksChronic physical and emotional tension can be uncomfortable and exhausting. But there is a way to free up that tight grip, and allow energy to flow so that you can feel more at ease. In this four-week course plus one private session, you'll learn how to practice TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) in an approachable and light-hearted setting, with a priority on states of presence, groundedness and relaxation.
The technique of TRE induces an involuntary type of shaking or vibration in your body called neurogenic tremors - a natural function involving the connection between your muscles, connective tissue and nervous system. Our sessions will focus on practicing mindful presence with your tremoring, while developing a balanced sense for allowing versus regulating these self-induced and therapeutic tremors.
Practicing TRE regularly can help rebalance bodily tension, complete stress response cycles, and process pent-up energy. Participants often report more flexibility, vitality, ease, calm and resilience in their physical, mental, and emotional lives.
Included in the cost of the course is an additional one-on-one session with Leslie. This one-on-one session may be booked before, during, or up to 2 months after the course is completed. Individual sessions are a great opportunity to go a little deeper, or gain additional insight or clarity about your TRE practice.This course is taught under the guidance of Leslie Stokman, Certified TRE Provider. She has been practicing TRE since 2016 and guiding others professionally since 2019.Note: TRE is contraindicated for you if you have had recent abdominal surgery. Individuals with certain psychiatric conditions will also be outside Leslie’s scope of practice as a Certified TRE Provider. Questions can be directed to leslie@thebranchesyoga.com
