Gentle Healing Through Mindful Movement
At Evoke Mind and Body, we recognize that trauma affects the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Our trauma-sensitive yoga (TSY) offerings create a safe, supportive environment for individuals to reconnect with their bodies and begin the journey toward healing.
Our trauma-sensitive approach emphasizes:
- Choice and agency in every movement
- Non-judgmental awareness of bodily sensations
- Gentle invitations rather than commands
- No hands-on adjustments
- Predictable, consistent structure
- Respect for personal boundaries

What to Expect in a Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Session
Our trauma-sensitive approach differs from traditional yoga classes in several important ways:
- Empowerment through choice: You are always invited—never required—to try any shape or practice
- Accessible language: Simple, direct instructions without metaphors or Sanskrit terminology
- Predictable sequences: Knowing what comes next helps create a sense of safety
- Mindful modifications: Every shape or form can be adapted to meet your needs and comfort level
- Present-moment awareness: Gentle guidance to notice sensations without judgment
- Respect for boundaries: Your personal space is always honored
Is Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Right for You?
TSY can be beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- PTSD or complex trauma
- Anxiety and stress-related conditions
- Disconnection from bodily sensations
- Recovery from physical injuries or illness
- Desire for gentle, mindful movement in a safe space
Note: Trauma-sensitive yoga is a complementary practice and not a replacement for therapy or medical treatment.
