Trauma Sensitive Yoga

Overview

Trauma-sensitive yoga (TSY) is a therapeutic yoga practice that aims to help people who have experienced trauma feel more comfortable in their bodies and regulate their emotions. 

*Our TSY therapist can consult with your individual therapist to ensure this is a good fit for you.

TSY classes differ from traditional yoga practices in a few ways:

  • Teachers are aware that students may have experienced trauma.

  • Teachers offer options to make students feel less vulnerable.

  • Group sessions don't involve participants sitting in a circle.

  • TSY classes avoid spiritual traditions that are commonly associated with yoga.

  • TSY classes avoid postures that could be triggering.
