Trauma & Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE®):
Holistic, Preventative, and Backed by Science

There’s a simple yet powerful truth in the body’s design: we are meant to shake. And not just for dance floors or cold nights—this natural vibration is one of the ways our nervous system returns to balance.

Shaking helps us.

Our bodies are made up of hundreds of thousands of vibrational layers. When we allow stress energy to move through us—rather than tightening, freezing, or pushing it down—we stay more resilient, more connected, and even physically healthier. In fact, this movement-based mechanism is how nature designed us to process stress and prevent trauma from embedding itself in our system.

In the video below, Kalinda Kano and Bonnie Praiser of Yoga Loka gently demonstrate how to access this natural, innate tremor response. This is the heart of Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE®)—a gentle somatic practice that invites the body to do what it already knows how to do: restore vibrational harmony and reset.

Why TRE®?

Yes, TRE® supports the release of stored trauma—but it also helps prevent the buildup of tension and trauma symptoms in the first place. It’s preventative care. This makes it a profound tool not only for healing, but for ongoing nervous system care and emotional resilience.

We’re not so different. We’ve simply forgotten. TRE® helps us remember.
