and healing begins when we learn how to listen.

Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

  • Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

    Trauma-Sensitive Yoga is a body-based, choice-centered approach to grounding, regulation, and reconnection. This work is designed for individuals who want to build a safer, more trusting relationship with themselves—their mind, body, and internal experience—especially when stress, trauma, grief, or chronic tension have made that connection feel distant or overwhelming.

    Unlike traditional yoga or fitness classes, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga prioritizes choice, autonomy, and nervous system awareness. There is no pressure to perform, no expectation to move a certain way, and no requirement to “push through.” You are always in control of your body and your experience.

    Sessions are guided using Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) principles, an evidence-based model developed by the Center for Trauma and Embodiment. This approach emphasizes invitational language, interoceptive awareness, and the connection between the brain and body. Rather than focusing on how movement looks, we focus on what it feels like—supporting you in noticing sensations, building a sense of agency, and learning how to stay present with yourself in a way that feels safe and manageable.

    This is not about doing yoga “right.”
    It’s about learning how to listen to yourself again.

    Trauma-Sensitive Yoga is a wellness-based service, not psychotherapy or medical treatment. It can be experienced on its own or alongside therapy, depending on your needs.
