Trauma Sensitive Yoga Groups (TSY)
Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is an evidence-based intervention designed for complex trauma and treatment-resistant PTSD. Rooted in trauma theory, neuroscience, and yoga philosophy, TCTSY emphasises reconnecting with inner sensations rather than focusing on physical forms. This internal focus supports participants in increasing tolerance to sensory experiences and enhancing emotional awareness. Research by Bessel van der Kolk has shown that TCTSY can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms and improve functioning.
