TCTSY Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga BC

A week of free TCTSY - Trauma Sensitive Yoga from my colleagues at the Center for Trauma and Embodiment.

We are witnessing a profound amount of trauma in the world at this moment. One way that CFTE shows up during these times of suffering is by creating space for our embodied self.

Next week, we are offering free online TCTSY sessions. There’s no need to register. Link is in our bio and check back throughout the week, as we will be adding sessions.

With care,
The CFTE Team
