What is Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY)?

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

​

Although TCTSY employs physical forms and movements, the emphasis is not on the external expression or appearance (i.e. doing it"right"), or receiving the approval of an external authority.

​

Rather, the focus is on the internal experience of the participant. This shift in orientation, from the external to the internal, is a key attribute of TCTSY as a complementary treatment for complex trauma.

With our approach, the power resides within the individual, not the TCTSY facilitator (TCTSY-F).
