Trauma-Focused Yoga

Trauma-Focused Yoga Trauma-Focused Yoga™ is a clinical modality providing structured, body-based interventions for trauma healing.

Trauma-Focused Yoga™ (TFY) is a clinical practice designed to be integrated into therapeutic care. Grounded in trauma theory and informed by polyvagal science, somatic movement, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga principles, TFY offers structured, body-based interventions that support nervous system regulation, safety, and reconnection. Unlike general yoga classes, TFY is specifically developed for clinical and professional settings, providing a framework that emphasizes interoceptive awareness, choice-making, and breath-based regulation. This practice equips clinicians and organizations with a reliable, trauma-informed method for addressing the physical and emotional impacts of trauma. Through clinical application, professional training, and education, TFY bridges somatic healing with therapeutic care, offering survivors and practitioners a safe and effective pathway toward healing.

Between the rush of the holidays and the reset of the new year, the nervous system can feel a little stretched. I wrote a short post on a few breathing practices that support regulation in an easy, accessible way.

Three simple breathing practices that help settle the nervous system, grounded in physiology and designed to support regulation without force.

Funny and so true! 🤣

There’s been a growing interest in somatic and bottom-up approaches to healing, which is exciting to see. At the same time, I often notice the terms trauma-informed, trauma-sensitive, and trauma-focused being blended together. Each serves a different purpose, and understanding those differences can help us offer support more thoughtfully.

I wrote a short blog looking at this continuum through the lens of yoga, though these ideas apply to many practices. My hope is that it brings clarity for anyone exploring somatic work or considering yoga as part of their healing or their professional care.
