Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) 20-Hour Foundational Training

Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is the first yoga-based, empirically validated clinical intervention for complex trauma or chronic, treatment-resistant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

This 20-hour foundational training (16 hours synchronous learning and 4 hours of self-study) will emphasize the core components of the practice of trauma-sensitive yoga, and how those fundamental elements relate to any anti-oppressive and trauma-informed work.

Content will include:
• The underpinnings of TCTSY (trauma Theory, attachment theory and neuroscience) (Interoceptive Theory)
• The neurophysiology & biology of stress and trauma and how they impact the lived experience;
• The importance of understanding power, oppression, & intersectionality;
• TCTSY practice and practice facilitating TCTSY;
• Key elements of TCTSY methodology;
• An overview of the research on TCTSY;
• Plenty of time for time for discussion and reflection

Participants may include, but are not limited to, yoga instructors, social workers, mental health clinicians, educators, activists, somatic practitioners and healers, or other health care professionals, as its applications can extend far beyond the yoga mat.

Dress comfortably and if possible, bring your own mat
