A different kind of yoga in Sheffield

At Cat on the Mat, I offer Trauma-Informed Yoga in Sheffield as a one-to-one practice, designed to meet you exactly where you are.

This isn’t about pushing your body or keeping up with a class.
Instead, we focus on helping you feel:

  • grounded

  • safe

  • more connected to your body

You don’t need to have experienced trauma to benefit. This work is for anyone looking for a calmer, more compassionate approach to yoga in Sheffield.

Support your nervous system (without pressure)

Your nervous system isn’t meant to be calm all the time—and nothing has gone wrong if it doesn’t feel that way.

In these sessions, we gently explore how your body responds to stress and build flexibility so you can:

  • feel less overwhelmed

  • recover more easily from stress

  • understand what your body needs

You may hear the phrase “window of tolerance.”
This is your capacity to cope—and we work together to gently expand it.

What to expect from your sessions

Each session is completely tailored to you.

Trauma-informed yoga sessions in Sheffield may include:

  • simple breathing techniques

  • gentle, optional movement

  • guided relaxation

  • accessible nervous system education

Everything is invitational. You are always in control.

A more supportive yoga experience

This is not a typical yoga class in Sheffield.

  • No physical adjustments

  • No pressure to push or perform

  • Seated options always available

  • A calm, quiet, one-to-one environment

This is your space to slow down and feel supported.
