Trauma Sensitive Yoga Group

Would you like to cultivate a new, possibly more curious, and compassionate relationship with your body? Join us for a 60-minute trauma-sensitive yoga group facilitated by Leigh-Ann Theophilos, PsyD, LP, RYT-500, TCTSY-F
This group will primarily utilize Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), an evidence-based intervention for complex trauma. It emphasizes choice- making and being aware of body-based sensations through guided movement with a facilitator who practices alongside you. The group is structured to provide about 45 minutes of guided movement, followed by about 5 minutes of individual processing (journaling, creative expression, etc.). The remaining last 10 minutes allow the possibility for processing as a group in a choice-based format. No previous experience with yoga is required, ages 18 +.
