As a part of our exhibition Renewal: Healing Through Art, join Windsor Art Center for a Trauma Sensitive Yoga class led by Emily Lapolice of Integrative Wellness Therapies. Emily is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, a Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator, and a faculty member at the Center for Trauma and Embodiment in Boston, MA. She has been a psychotherapist for nearly 2 decades, specializing in complex trauma, perinatal mental health, and embodiment practices.

What to expect: Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is the first yoga-based clinical intervention for complex trauma, or treatment-resistant PTSD. TCTSY methodology is based on central components of hatha yoga, where participants engage in a series of accessible physical forms and movements. Elements of standard hatha yoga are modified to maximize experiences of empowerment, choice-making, and connection to one’s own body.

Unlike many public yoga classes, Trauma Sensitive Yoga does not use physical hands-on adjustments, or directive language to influence a participant’s physical form. Rather, it presents opportunities for participants to be in charge of their own body in a way that is supportive and self-directed.
