Yoga is a movement practice often recommended to manage trauma and anxiety symptoms due to the focus on one’s body and the generally meditative nature of the practice. However, in cases of sexual trauma, yoga may yield the opposite of the desired results when not used in a trauma-sensitive context. This is because the individual tries to focus on the body where they do not feel safe and encounter unresolved trauma. Thus, instead of a grounding effect, the individual hears the mental and physical pain they have endured repeating itself in the present. To reflect this, “stillness” audio material is routed to scream-like and abrasive sounds, while “movement” audio quiets the listener’s internal landscape. This contradiction is the impetus of this work. This work is part of my doctoral thesis and will be presented as a written work for NIME 2023 conference in Mexico City, Mexico.
