Know the Basics

Designed for students, teachers, clinicians, and survivors, this introductory level course covers key research, theories, and practical techniques to integrate TCTSY principles into your life, classes, or clinical practice as a healing tool for trauma.

Who is this for?

Yoga teachers, social workers, educators, mental health professionals, community leaders, and other service providers with a beginning interest in trauma-informed perspectives.

What will I learn?

An brief overview of trauma and key concepts of the proprietary TCTSY methodology, including the research behind it and how to utilize some of its components.

How does it work?

5 hours of independent, online study via our virtual learning platform, hosted on the Center for Trauma and Embodiment website. 

This distance-learning course is not intended to replace in-person training in TCTSY or in the practice of yoga. It does not qualify participants to facilitate TCTSY.
