"I have found and believe that TSY is a necessary component to treat my Complex PTSD. I think that TSY therapy treats a part of my condition that other therapies are unable to- that is the physical, emotional and sensory dissociation that occurs with PTSD. I believe TSY is an essential piece of my healing and recovery." TSYoga participant

Private Yoga Consultation
We offer clients one-on-one yoga consults with a trained trauma informed/trauma sensitive yoga instructor. Consults are generally three sessions in length and may cover a variety of needs related to the use of yoga as an adjunctive trauma treatment. Consults will be tailored to clients' specific needs and goals. Examples of topics that may be covered in a yoga consultation are:
- Introduction or re-introduction to yoga in a safe and private space
- Recommendation for how to design or modify a yoga program to address personal triggers, challenges, and physical limitations
- General psychoeducation about trauma and the body and ways in which yoga can help
Private yoga consultations are available on a self-pay basis only. For more information or to make a referral, please contact any of our 3 trained Trauma Sensitive/ Trauma Informed Yoga Instructors:
