Embodiment Practices for Healing

6 Trauma Sensitive Yoga Sessions (Video)

Guided by TCTSY Co-Founder Jenn Turner, the six video practices included in this series explore Trauma Sensitive Yoga while seated in a chair, seated on a mat, standing, in tabletop, on your back, and through a guided rest.

Trauma Sensitive Yoga moves beyond traditional talk therapies that focus on the mind by bringing the body actively into the healing process.

This product is hosted on our digital training platform via Kajabi. Online access to the videos will be continuous but they are not downloadable.

Embodied Healing
Survivor and Facilitator Voices from the Practice of Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

First-hand essays of embodied healing from the Center for Trauma and Embodiment at Justice Resource Institute: challenges, triumphs, and healing strategies for trauma-sensitive therapists and yoga teachers.

This collection of essays explores the applications of Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) as a powerful evidence-based modality to help clients heal in the aftermath of trauma. Written by a range of contributors including yoga facilitators, survivors, and therapists, the first-hand accounts in Embodied Healing examine real-life situations and provide guidance on how to act, react, and respond to trauma on the mat. Each essay centers the voices, wisdom, and experiences of survivors and practitioners who work directly with trauma-sensitive embodiment therapies.

From navigating issues of touch and consent to avoiding triggers, practitioners and readers will learn how to support survivors of trauma as they reintegrate their bodies and reclaim their lives. Organized into sections based on principles of Trauma Sensitive Yoga — experiencing the present moment, making choices, taking effective action, and creating rhythms — these essays are for yoga teachers, therapists, survivors, mental health professionals and trauma healers.

Overcoming Trauma Through Yoga
Reclaiming Your Body

By David Emerson, Co-Founder of TCTSY, Co-Director of CFTE

Overcoming Trauma through Yoga is a book for survivors, clinicians, and yoga instructors who are interested in mind/body healing.

Survivors of trauma—whether abuse, accidents, or war—can end up profoundly wounded, betrayed by their bodies that failed to get them to safety and that are a source of pain. In order to fully heal from trauma, a connection must be made with oneself, including one’s body. The trauma-sensitive yoga described in this book moves beyond traditional talk therapies that focus on the mind, by bringing the body actively into the healing process. This allows trauma survivors to cultivate a more positive relationship to their body through gentle breath, mindfulness, and movement practices.
