Frequently Asked Questions

1.) Is TCTSY for me?

Maybe yes. Maybe no. Only you can answer this question for you. TCTSY is an evidence-based intervention for trauma exposure originally created by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (author of "The Body Keeps the Score"), David Emerson + Jenn Turner at the Trauma Center in Brookline, MA. It's theoretical underpinnings are rooted in hatha yoga, trauma theory, attachment theory, and neuroscience. The foundational building blocks of this evidenced-based approach are found through non-coercion, interoception, invitational language, choice making and shared authentic experiences. Although this offering was originated as a trauma treatment... Mayday Yoga services are not intended to treat a diagnosis, but to offer TCTSY as an everyday form of self care.

2.) What do you charge?

Community Pricing Feel free to pick the price that works best with your budget. Group (2-20) 60 minutes = ($90 - $140) 45 minutes = ($75 - $115) 30 minutes = ($60 - $90) A "pay what you can plan" outside of Community Pricing is available anytime for any reason. If you have a timeframe, group request, or price point not listed above...lets talk and see what works. You're welcome to use credit card, cash, or Venmo to pay for services.

3.) What style of yoga do you teach?

In TCTSY, there is no emphasis on "style" or "doing it right," and more focus on trying to be present with your internal environment in order to make choices based on what your body needs. No need to perform. And no "right" or "wrong" here.

4.) Where do you offer your classes?

For in-person or online requests... you provide the group + secure meeting location. This helps support familiarity when trying something new. All choices are respected.
