Laura studied trauma sensitive yoga with The Trauma Center, Boston to become a trauma center trauma sensitive yoga facilitator (TCTSY-F). The TCTSY methodology is based on central components of the hatha style of yoga, where participants engage in a series of physical forms and movements. Elements of standard hatha yoga are modified to maximize experiences of empowerment and to cultivate a more positive relationship to one's body.

TCTSY does not use physical hands-on adjustments, TCTSY is based on participants being able to make choices in the session on what is best for their bodies, it creates opportunities for participants to choose for themselves based on a felt sense of their own body. TCTSY has foundations in trauma theory, attachment theory, neuroscience, and hatha yoga, with an emphasis on body-based yoga forms and breathing practices.

Trauma Sensitive private sessions and yoga class facilitation are available.

Please contact Laura for booking and more information.

Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Faciliation

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

Developed originally at the Trauma Center in Brookline, Massachusetts by Dave Emerson and others, Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is now a program of Center for Trauma and Embodiment at Justice Resource Institute. 


Taken from the TCTSY website: "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 treatment for complex trauma and PTSD. With our approach, the power resides within the individual, not the TCTSY facilitator (TCTSY-F). Further, by focusing on the felt sense of the body to inform choice-making, TCTSY allows participants to restore their connection of mind and body and cultivate a sense of agency that is often compromised as a result of trauma."
