What is Trauma Conscious Yoga?

Trauma Conscious Yoga (TCY) provides an opportunity to be in the present moment through bringing awareness to the breath and the physical sensations of being in the here-and-now. The class promotes the use of mindful movement to develop the practice of making choices and establishing rhythms.

​

TCY uses explorative movements, grounding/mindfulness, breathing practices, and the occasional guided meditation. In addition, we practice the use of interoception, where we are moving the body and feeling the body in the present.  At the most basic level, interoception is the ability to perceive the internal state of our bodies and allows us to answer the question, 'how do I feel?’ Having trouble with this sense can also make self-regulation a challenge.

​

The student is in control over what they are doing with their body at all times and the instructor is there to provide guidance for students to notice particular dynamics (i.e., what muscles they are using, what it feels like to have their feet on the ground, what it feels like to breathe, what sensations you are feeling in the present, and etc.).
