Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is a somatic modality that has been proven as an effective adjunctive treatment for psychological trauma.

As we practice feeling and breathing with awareness (interoception), the neural networks in our brain that may be damaged by trauma have an opportunity to reconnect.

 

Although TCTSY uses hatha yoga forms, the emphasis is not on the external expression or appearance (i.e. doing it “right”). Rather, the focus is on the internal experience of the participant (interoception). With this approach, the power resides within the individual, not the TCTSY facilitator (TCTSY-F).

 

By focusing on the felt sense of the body to inform choice-making, TCTSY allows participants to restore their connection of mind and body and cultivate a sense of agency that is often compromised as a result of trauma. We strive to make TCTSY accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or experience. Each participant will be asked to complete a short individual intake call. It is recommended that participants are either in ongoing therapy or have another outside support network.

Beginners are welcome.

 

The class is facilitated by Sarah Holmes de Castro, a certified Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Facilitator and TCTSY trainer.

You are welcome to attend class in-person or online through Zoom.
