Lorna has been a yoga practitioner since 2000. Due to experiencing the psychological and physical benefits of yoga for herself, Lorna then trained as a yoga teacher in 2006 with the British Wheel of Yoga and has explored various yoga traditions including Hatha, Iyengar, Scaravelli, Yin, and Ashtanga.
Lorna continues her yoga training, working with Bessel van der Kolk’s Trauma Center and Trauma Sensitive Yoga which is a clinically validated treatment for complex trauma and PTSD, this is by far the safest form of yoga Lorna has found to date. Trauma Sensitive Yoga has foundations in Trauma Theory, Attachment Theory, Neuroscience and Hatha Yoga practice with an emphasis on mind body connection, movement and breathing.
Lorna has worked with many international teachers including Donna Farhi, Shiva Rea, Sarah Powers, Ana Forrest and various other teachers in India, Sri Lanka and America. This enables Lorna to gain insight into the various approaches to Yoga, so they can then be related to her clinical work in a simple, safe and nurturing way. Lorna teaches Trauma Sensitive Yoga at the Jesmond Therapy Centre, Mind and The Recovery College.
