Sundays 3-4 pm
July 10-September 11*
*No class on 7/31 and 8/28

This 8-week group will meet in-person on Sunday afternoons from July 10-September 11 from 3-4pm at Steadfast and True Yoga ( ) in the Germantown area. Group will pause on 7/31 and 8/28. This will be a mat-based practice—we will provide mats and props, or feel free to bring your own.
Listening First Yoga is one of the few providers in Tennessee to offer Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (), a therapeutic form of Hatha yoga developed with and alongside trauma survivors at the Trauma Center outside of Boston, MA. TCTSY is considered an evidence-based adjunctive treatment for post traumatic stress and complex trauma. TCTSY uses accessible yoga movements, invitational language, and choice-making to invite group participants to connect to their bodies in a gradual, self-directed way.
Interested in joining? The first step is to complete a free 15-minute phone consultation. (Current clients can sign up now!) Click the link in our bio or visit our website to learn more and sign up!
*Note: TCTSY is considered an adjunctive treatment for post traumatic stress and complex trauma, meaning it’s intended as an additional support alongside therapy or other mental health treatment. TCTSY facilitators receive over 300 hours of training in trauma theory, attachment theory, and neuroscience, and are supported by clinicians and researchers at the Center for Trauma and Embodiment. TCTSY is not therapy, and yoga practices are not intended to be a space for processing trauma. Rather, these practices can provide opportunities for connection, which can support empowerment, insight and overall healing.
Feel free to message us with any questions!

💭” If we don't reorient that seesaw our nervous system will continue to throw muscles into overdrive and make postural compensations in an effort to continue the SNS response.” - Beth Genday

Enrollment is now open for our in-person Trauma Sensitive Yoga Group happening this spring at Mindful Nashville !

This group will meet in-person on Monday evenings May 2-June 20 from 7-8pm in the Mindful Nashville space at the 100 Taylor Arts Collective building.

Listening First Yoga is one of the few providers in Tennessee to offer TCTSY - Trauma Sensitive Yoga, a therapeutic form of Hatha yoga developed with and alongside trauma survivors at the Trauma Center outside of Boston. TCTSY facilitators receive over 300 hours of training in trauma theory, attachment theory, neuroscience, and best practices for supporting survivors of trauma. For some people, this practice can be a helpful support alongside therapy or other trauma treatment.

In this practice, we'll use accessible yoga movements, invitational language, and choice-making to practice connecting to our bodies in a gradual, self-directed way. Everything in this practice is optional, including how you move, where you direct your attention, and how you inhabit the space. You don't need any special clothing or equipment to practice this style of yoga. We'll have mats and props available for you to use, or you can feel free to bring your own!

Interested in joining? The first step is to complete a free 15-minute phone consultation. Click the link in our bio or visit our website to learn more and sign up!

*Note: TCTSY is not psychotherapy, and your yoga facilitator is not a mental health clinician. This group is not intended to be a space for processing trauma or talking about trauma experiences. Rather, it's a space to support connecting to our bodies and our resilience. Many practitioners do find it useful to have a counselor, therapist, or other support system in place alongside their yoga practice.

Feel free to message us with any questions!
