Get to know the TRE method -course, 5.10.

Introduction to TRE® Tension, Stress, and Trauma Releasing Exercises

TRE® (Tension, Stress, and Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a somatic body based practice method that consists of a few warm-up exercises to activate a neurogenic tremor mechanism in the body to release tension. This technique is a good tool for relaxation and to support recovery from stress.

We start the workshop with an overview of the theory behind the TRE® method and practise somatic exercises that support self-regulation. Next, participants are guided to practice the warm-up exercises and explore how the tremors feel for them today. The session ends with a guided relaxation. At the end of the workshop, participants have the opportunity to share their experiences and observations. The course is led by Alli Mattila, a certified TRE® instructor, yoga teacher, and dancer. The instructor’s role is to teach the basics of the method and ensure a safe TRE process for the whole group.

To participate in the course, one must be in a stable physical and mental health condition that allows for performing TRE® exercises and participating in group practice. TRE® is not suitable immediately after surgeries or serious illnesses, such as a heart attack or cancer surgery/diagnosis. It is also not recommended for those with epilepsy or serious mental health disorders like psychosis or schizophrenia. It is not recommended to try TRE® stress-releasing exercises for the first time while pregnant

At the end of each lesson, there will be a movement phrase, where we combine the movements already done in the lesson and practice fluency and tying the movements together. You are welcome to the course, whether you are taking an acrobatics class for the first time or you already know the basics and want to strengthen your skills. We recommend long-legged training pants. We do not recommend the course if you have an injury or back pain.
