TRE® (Tension, Stress & Trauma Release Exercise)
This an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE® safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension and calms down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is able to return to a state of balance. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being.
TRE® is based on the fundamental idea, backed by recent research, that stress, tension and trauma are both psychological and physical. The shaking of the muscles increases the resiliency of the body as it causes a deep relaxation that naturally reduces stress levels. It can release emotions ranging from mild upset to severe anxiety, whether caused by work stress, excessive worry, conflict in relationships, physical stresses or traumas from accidents. A built in benefit to the TRE process is the physiological states associated with a trauma are often able to be released without having to actually relive, remember, or talk about the actual traumatic event itself.
This is a self-regulating process- the tremors can be immediately stopped by simply straightening the legs or rolling onto their side if one becomes uncomfortable. Amarjyothi will assist you in this process. When you are comfortable doing so, you can practice it at home on your own, without having to rely on a therapist to continue your healing process. However, working in a group is a very powerful experience, so come to as many sessions as you can!
TRE is a great way to enter meditation. If you struggle with sitting still and keeping the mind quiet, if you try TRE first, you will find it easier to sit for meditation. Some TRE group sessions include a meditation practice at the end.
No previous experience in anything necessary! Group sessions are available as are private sessions (by appointment) Please check the schedule to see when a class is happening!

Meditation and Satsang
Meditation
Meditation enables us to become more balanced and grounded, helps us to control our emotions rather than be controlled by them, and gives us access to our true essence. No experience is required to begin. Various strategies and tactics to achieve success will be introduced but kept to a minimum, because the practice itself is the teacher. As such, this class is for all levels of meditators, from absolute beginners to long-time practitioners. Check here to see when workshops are offered.
Satsang
Satsang is the principle of keeping the company of like-minded people. Satsang is the coming together of the like-minded to share thoughts, questions and experiences in a supportive environment. Sessions are scheduled during the year, typically focusing on a single topic or a single cluster of related topics, including introduction to specific areas of yoga practice other than asana. Satsang is beautiful opportunity to participate in the yoga community, to learn aspects of yoga philosophy, and acquire tools for relaxation and stress reduction.
