Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY)
Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is about creating an opportunity for you to safely (re)connect with your body.
Rather than the focus being on learning a particular yoga shape (asana) or breathing technique, the practice offers you an opportunity to explore the present moment by moving and maybe noticing sensations in your body.
TCTSY offers you an opportunity to explore making choices about movements you may be interested in trying out. Different options are presented and you have complete choice over how (or if) you choose to move.
“Lauren is a trauma informed practitioner who understands the importance of dynamics in teaching individuals”
Trauma Sensitive Yoga can be practised in a group or one-to-one.
Hi, I’m Lauren,
My teaching style
I teach Ashtanga Yoga through a trauma-informed lens, and I offer yoga sessions designed specifically for survivors of complex trauma.
I’m a Level 2 Authorised Ashtanga Yoga Teacher which means I’ve spent many years studying at the source of Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, India; and can teach you primary and intermediate series.
My approach to Ashtanga yoga is non-dogmatic. I take a person-centred approach that addresses the needs of you, the practitioner rather than following a prescribed set of rules.
I’m passionate about using the skills and knowledge I’ve gained over many years of study to guide you in a practice that nourishes and supports you. making you feel better than ever!
If you have any questions about my teaching feel free to get in touch
Thanks for landing on my page. I’m really excited you’re here!
For nearly two decades, I’ve been a dedicated yoga practitioner and I wholeheartedly believe in its benefits.
I believe yoga can help you live more fully in the world. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, learn to regulate your nervous system, improve focus or enhance your self-awareness I believe yoga can help.
If you are looking for advice on taking your first steps into teaching, or you’re struggling to establish yourself as a full time yoga teacher, you’re in the right place!
I offer mentoring calls or meet-ups for 30 minutes or 1-hour time slots at a flat rate.
