This 20-hour training provides an introduction to the core concepts and practice of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), the first and only scientifically-validated, yoga-based care model for complex trauma and post-traumatic stress.

This training is designed for yoga teachers, clinicians, movement and fitness professionals, bodyworkers, healthcare practitioners, and those working with people impacted by trauma to explore the promise of including the body in healing, and to make your current offerings more trauma-informed. While this training does not qualify participants to facilitate TCTSY, it is the first step to becoming a certified TCTSY facilitator and meets the foundational training requirement to enter the 300-hour TCTSY certification program.
