Living Differently With Tinnitus

With Tonya Rothe

Living with tinnitus can wear you down, especially when the ringing, buzzing, or humming follows you into sleep, focus, quiet moments, and ordinary parts of the day. This course offers a different way to live with tinnitus by helping you shift your relationship to the sound instead of trying to ignore it, fight it, or force yourself to “get used to it.” You’ll learn ways to settle your nervous system, soften fear and frustration, and create more space around the sound. There may not be a simple cure for tinnitus, but there are ways to support yourself so the sound does not have to run your whole inner world.

Tonya Rothe
Washington, USA

Tonya is a neurodivergent yoga and meditation teacher with more than 25 years of yoga practice. Her work focuses on making yoga, meditation, breathwork, and rest more accessible for neurodivergent adults and highly sensitive people, especially those navigating burnout, chronic stress, difficulty resting, or traditional practices that haven’t worked well for them. She is a 500-hour registered yoga teacher with additional training in meditation, mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, holistic nutrition, Brain Longevity, and trauma-informed and accessible approaches to yoga. She also holds a master’s degree in Humanities. Tonya teaches yoga as much more than physical poses. Her approach draws from movement, breath, meditation, rest, and yoga philosophy, with an emphasis on understanding your own needs rather than trying to practice in one prescribed way. Her classes and courses offer practical ways to work with your body, mind, energy, and attention in everyday life.

Lesson 8

Making Peace With Silence

For many of us, silence never really feels silent. It can feel like something is missing—like the stillness others describe isn’t an option. In this lesson, you’ll gently explore a new way to meet stillness—without forcing it. You’ll have space to notice sound without reacting to it, allowing quiet to be something you experience in your own way.

This is an excellent course for tinnitus sufferers. Through gentle meditations, this course has guided me from fighting tinnitus towards acceptance. I can see where, if I add a single day of this course to my daily meditation routine, the message of acceptance will strengthen.
