About the Training

Learn trauma-informed teaching techniques to establish a safe and supportive environment for your students!

Through this 20-hr Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training, you will gain the knowledge and necessary tools to more effectively teach individuals who have experienced trauma, and better understand how to safely guide and support your students along their path of recovery and healing. This training offers a unique combination of education and experiential learning, enabling you to acquire profound knowledge and immerse yourself in personal experiences and practices.

As yoga teachers, it is crucial to be aware of the prevalence of trauma and maladaptive stress responses in our current society. Enhancing your understanding of trauma-sensitive yoga techniques and effective somatic practices can enable you to make a significant difference for your students, community, and yourself. 

By cultivating a safe and nurturing class environment, you can promote deeper self-awareness, foster connection, improve trust, build empowerment, and help your students embody yoga teachings for personal development. Learning trauma-informed techniques and somatic modalities can also help you create a new avenue of growth in working with private clients in need of more specialized skills.

  • The significance of mental health, trauma, and a maladaptive stress response

  • Education in neuroscience related to trauma and the brain, and the power of neuroplasticity
