I believe every facilitator, yoga teacher, energy worker and space holder should have an understanding of trauma and how it impacts the mind and body. Every single person has experienced some form of trauma in their life...which means your clients, students and community show up to your classes, events and offerings (knowingly or unknowingly) with trauma, PTSD or stress.

Understanding how to facilitate your offerings, teach yoga and hold space with a trauma-informed lens can only help you to better serve your students, clients and community.

This training is for any yoga teacher interested in understanding trauma-informed yoga, therapists, facilitators within the healing community, space holder of any type and everyone who wants to create a safe space for your community.

This training covers the foundations of trauma-informed yoga and many other tools and practices to help teach self-regulation, deescalation and somatic based practices.

In this experiential in person training, you will learn the essential practices listed below:

• The nervous system and how trauma affects brain, mind and body
• Symptoms of trauma in the mind and body
