ABOUT: Trauma Center trauma-sensitive yoga (TCTSY) presents opportunities for empowerment through invitational language and choice-making. During practice, you’ll be invited to notice body sensations and choose ways of moving, breathing, and pausing that feel supportive to you. You may find that practicing in this embodied way helps you strengthen your connection to your body and build a sense of self-efficacy.
Practice is mat-based, and no yoga experience is necessary. TCTSY is an evidence-based, adjunctive clinical intervention for complex trauma and chronic, treatment-resistant post-traumatic stress. The practice is also suitable for individuals experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, and other mental health conditions, or for individuals looking to strengthen their relationship with their body. You will not be asked or expected to talk about your trauma/mental health history as part of TCTSY. More information about TCTSY is available here.
Individuals who have been hospitalized for psychiatric care in the last six months are advised to wait until the six-month period is complete to join group classes.
SLIDING SCALE: $48 - $72 USD for the six-week series.
You are invited to reflect on your access to resources due to COVID-19 and/or forms of intersectional oppression, and to make an investment that feels accessible to you.
REGISTRATION: Preregistration is required. Please email Dawn to register, or for more information.

Registration closes December 27th at 5pm.
