healing our bodies through mindful movement
Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Mindful movement to energize, ground, and strengthen the connection with our bodies
Trauma Sensitive Yoga combines a somatic and trauma-focused approach with mindfulness and yoga to help heal our bodies. Trauma can often leave us feeling unsafe, disconnected, and dissociated. Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TSY) is a healing practice developed by David Emerson and Bessel van der Kolk for survivors of trauma. With an emphasis on reclamation of power and embodiment, TSY offers many unique benefits that set it apart from a regular yoga class.
benefits of trauma sensitive yoga
TSY can help us to reconnect and listen to the wisdom that our bodies hold.
TSY strengthens body awareness - our ability to observe and experience internal sensations.
Through learning to calm the mind and regulate physical sensations, we can release emotions and stored tension, gain connection to personal power, and build safety in the body.
The gentle pacing of this practice paired with mindful breathwork offers the opportunity to become reacquainted with our bodies and learn relaxation techniques.
This practice is for all genders, all levels, and all bodies - no prior experience is necessary to participate. Modifications are offered, and participants are encouraged to tailor the practice to their unique bodies.
The group setting offers connection and community. Private therapeutic yoga sessions are available for anyone wanting to dive deeper into the practice or who prefer individualized care.
