About Maxine
I’m Maxine, and if you’ve found your way here, you might be searching for a safe, welcoming space to reconnect with your body. As a facilitator of Trauma Sensitive Yoga, I've been supporting individuals on their trauma recovery journey since 2020, a path that's deeply personal to me as someone living with CPTSD and ADHD. I understand firsthand how daunting it can be to step into a yoga space, especially when carrying the weight of trauma - which fuels my desire and commitment to create an inclusive, safe and empowering space for you to be human.
Along the way, I’ve learned that yoga isn’t about bending into a pretzel or achieving a picture-perfect 'pose'. It’s about learning to feel safe in your own skin and rediscovering the courage to practice being present in a body that's perhaps more familiar with dissociation, numbness or overwhelm.
My approach centres around acknowledging and addressing the impact of trauma on our bodies. My intention here is to nurture a collaborative journey of shared decision-making with participants - recognising that you have choice and agency in having an embodied experience. Although this practice is not out-comes oriented, my aim is to support you in finding a balance between challenging yourself and honouring your boundaries, with full permission to make mistakes along the way.
Whether you’re taking your first tentative step onto the mat or you’re a seasoned yogi looking for a practice that is gentler on your nervous system, I'd love to support you. If you’re ready for a yoga experience, without the pressure, just the presence - let’s do this.

Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TSY) is like a gentle bridge between yoga and therapy, carefully adapted from modern postural yoga to meet the unique needs of those who've experienced trauma. Rooted in ancient yogic practices, TSY uses the knowledge and latest findings from trauma theory, neuroscience, attachment theory, as well as Polyvagal theory and Somatic Experiencing.
This isn't a typical yoga class—it's a slow and gentle practice specifically designed to help people who experience chronic dysregulation reconnect with their body in a safe, supportive way. We pay close attention to sensations (interoception), how we relate to the space around us (proprioception), and exploring personal boundaries. Over time, this practice helps build trust, a sense of safety, and empowering us with choice, as we work from gross movement to more subtle - gradually. We keep meditation, subtle breathwork, and long periods of stillness to a minimum as this can be overwhelming or intolerable for some survivors. We introduce these elements in small, manageable doses, and sometimes, we skip them altogether.
Trauma sensitive yoga is adaptive, and works to meet the individualised needs of each person. TSY is an adjunct therapeutic treatment to traditional psychotherapy counselling. It is not intended to be a substitute for psychotherapy. It is instead offered as an additional support and ***evidenced based practice*** to help participants cope with the effects of complex trauma.
