Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

  • Introduction to 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 develop a safer, more trusting relationship with their bodies — 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.

    This offering is informed by Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) principles and centers choice-making, interoceptive awareness, and the connection between the brain and body. Rather than focusing on how movement looks, sessions emphasize noticing internal sensations, building a sense of agency, and strengthening the ability to stay present with the body in a way that feels safe and manageable.

    Trauma-Sensitive Yoga is a wellness-based service, not psychotherapy or medical treatment. It can stand alone or complement mental health therapy, depending on your needs.
