"The goal of treatment of PTSD is to help people live in the present, without feeling or behaving according to irrelevant demands belonging to the past." - Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D.

Trauma Sensitive Yoga is a practice that gives trauma survivors the opportunity to reclaim their body and to experience that they have a choice.
 
An unpublished study by the Trauma Center at JRI in Brookline, Massachusetts, ("Boston Trauma Center"), has shown that ten weeks of Trauma Sensitive Yoga resulted in a clinically significant decrease in the severity of the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
 
Marije E. Paternotte, owner of Be Your Own Yoga, holds a certification from the Boston Trauma Center to teach Trauma Sensitive Yoga. For more information, please click on the link to the right. The next series of Trauma Sensitive Yoga classes will be offered in the new year and will be posted in our schedule
