These 20-hour Foundational Trainings from the Center for Trauma and Embodiment (Brookline, MA) are intended to support yoga teachers and therapists to make their work more trauma-informed and to support those working in the mental health field to bring the body into treatment when working with people affected by PTSD, developmental and/or complex trauma.

The training will provide specific tools to support participants to facilitate trauma-sensitive movement and breath practices, and will emphasize the core components of the practice and process of trauma sensitive yoga, and how they relate to any anti-oppressive and trauma sensitive work.

TCTSY has foundations in trauma theory, attachment theory, neuroscience, and hatha yoga.

In 2017, TCTSY became the first dedicated yoga program listed as an evidence-based program/practice for the treatment of psychological trauma. 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.

This is the primary pre-training required to apply to the 300-hour Certification Program in TCTSY. Topics of study include:

• Trauma Theory, Attachment Theory and Neuroscience (Interoceptive Theory)
  • Neurophysiology & Biology of Stress and Trauma (How Trauma Impacts the Brain)
  • Spectrum of Trauma Impacts & Complex Trauma as Lived Experience
  • Power, Oppression, & Intersectionality
  • Building Trauma Sensitive Relationships
  • TCTSY Practice and Practice Facilitation
  • Key Elements of TCTSY Methodology
  • Challenges in Implementing TCTSY
  • Overview of Research & Studies on TCTSY
