Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Training

Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY)
TCTSY is an empirically validated, adjunctive clinical treatment for complex trauma, or chronic, treatment-resistent PTSD. Developed at the Trauma Center in Brookline, MA, TCTSY has foundations in Trauma Theory, Attachment Theory, Neuroscience, and Hatha Yoga with an emphasis on body-based yoga forms and breathing practices.

This training is designed for certified yoga teachers and mental health professionals who are looking to expand their practice to include treatment of the body as well as the mind. Mental health professionals who wish to attend do not need any prior yoga experience.
