Do you desire to be witnessed just as you are? People that we can share the deep emotions and stories that we feel are only our own. Though, this 200-hour journey is internal and unique. When we do it together, it gives everyone permission and support to be authentic and live their full potential.

101- Trauma & The Emotional Body, Trauma Informed Yoga Educator
The body speaks what the mind often cannot. Every experience we have in life is processed through our physical bodies. Experiences with trauma creates patterns of disconnection from the wisdom in our bodies. In this course, we will practice witnessing how our own experiences are manifesting in our bodies and our lives. Witnessing our own journey is ultimately what prepares us to witness and guide the journey of another.
The layers from trauma can vary in complexity and needs. Taking into account the whole person, we teach an experiential process over a prescription. In this training, you will learn to facilitate an inquiry of presence and deep listening to the body. This inquiry allows the clients or students to explore the skills and abilities needed to find their own way to cope with trauma-related symptoms, and the supportive space to reclaim their bodies and their lives.
