About This Training: This training offers 15 hours of in person Zoom and 5 hours of self study for anyone with an interest in understanding the impacts of trauma on the whole system while learning to integrate a trauma informed lens into their scope of practice.

Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is a program of the Center for Trauma and Embodiment at the Justice Resource Institute (JRI). It is an empirically validated, evidence-based, adjunctive treatment for complex trauma and complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

This training will provide tools and an understanding of trauma theory, attachment theory, and the neuroscience of trauma, which are the core underpinnings of TCTSY. Through the training, participants will add an  understanding of how to facilitate trauma-informed movement and breath practices. Participants are invited to explore the various ways in which this embodied movement practice, rooted in a trauma informed framework, can be a starting point towards anti-oppressive practices in their bodies, relationships, and the communities in which they live.
