Mindful Movement for Women: A 6-week Trauma Sensitive Series
Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is a somatic modality that has been proven as an effective adjunctive treatment for psychological trauma.
As we practice feeling and breathing with awareness (interoception), the neural networks in our brain that may be damaged by trauma have an opportunity to reconnect. Although TCTSY uses hatha yoga forms, the emphasis is not on the external expression or appearance (i.e. doing it “right”). Rather, the focus is on the internal experience of the participant (interoception).
With this approach, the power resides within the individual, not the TCTSY facilitator (TCTSY-F). By focusing on the felt sense of the body to inform choice-making, TCTSY allows participants to restore their connection of mind and body and cultivate a sense of agency that is often compromised as a result of trauma. We strive to make TCTSY accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or experience. Each participant will be asked to complete a short individual intake call. It is recommended that participants are either in ongoing therapy or have another outside support network.

Because sometimes, the hardest battles are the ones we fight within.
What if your greatest moments of confusion actually held your clearest wisdom? What does it really mean to live your dharma even when the path isn’t clear?
The Bhagavad Gita begins in the midst of self-inquiry and impossible choices. Set on the battlefield of the Mahabharata, it unfolds as a raw, honest conversation between Arjuna and Krishna about life, loss, and purpose. In this course, we’ll not only explore the Gita itself but also the rich stories of the epic that frame it, bringing ancient wisdom vividly to life.
This journey blends trauma-informed movement, reflection, and discussion to help you experience the Gita as a living guide, not just a text. You don’t need to be spiritual ,just curious and open to exploring your own inner landscape.
Madhu Nagarajan, raised in India and deeply influenced by her grandfather’s teachings, brings her experience in yoga therapy and compassionate storytelling to guide you gently through this journey.
In each session, we’ll begin with group discussion, move into small breakout conversations, and conclude with practices such as movement, pranayama, and meditation to help you integrate the insights deeply.
