Why host free classes now?
This month's news out of Cornell, sexual assault and gender-based violence, is heavy, and it's not new. If you've lived through something like this yourself, or watched someone you love go through it, this kind of news doesn't stay in the news. It lands in the body.
TCTSY is a practice built for exactly this: coming back into a body that's holding more than words can carry, on your own terms, alongside other people doing the same thing.
This week, TCTSY classes are free and open to anyone who wants in, because moving together, breathing together, and reclaiming our bodies as our own is something we know how to offer right now.
TCTSY classes aren't a crisis service. If you need to talk to someone right now, RAINN's hotline is 1-800-656-4673, or online.rainn.org. Outside the U.S., findahelpline.com lists local options.
What to expect
TCTSY, trauma-sensitive yoga, is a clinically studied practice built for people carrying trauma, not a general fitness class.
There's no instructor correcting your form, no talking through what happened, and no pressure to look a certain way while you move.
Every cue is an invitation. You're welcome to try it, skip it, or do something else with your body entirely. What you notice, and what you trust about what you notice, is yours to decide.
You don't need any yoga experience. Your camera can stay off for the whole class if that's what feels right. Classes are not recorded, so whatever happens in the room stays there.
