The body speaks what the mind often cannot. Every experience we have in life is processed through our physical bodies. REGISTRATION INCLUDES ALL DATES. Experiences with trauma create 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. Through intentional and classical yoga we are able to create intentional pathways for connection and wellbeing. Considering this, our training is based on resiliency, embodiment, and deep connection. 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.

“Through relationships, trauma survivors can learn to feel safe, trust others, learn new ways of relating to people, and develop self-compassion” (Van der Kolk 2014). The relationship between the Trauma-Centered Equity Yoga Educator and client/student is shared, authentic, expansive, and inclusive of the whole human experience. The Educator engages from a place of presence, trust, and safety to initiate conscious conversations about equity, and decolonizing of the healing process. “The biomedical approach and associated interventions fail to acknowledge the value of healthy and meaningful relationships, which mitigate the destructive impact of trauma” (Van der Kolk 2005). This limits the potentiality of re-traumatizing our clients and students.

survivors and those directly or indirectly affected by trauma. These
protocols are currently used/taught in yoga studios, hospitals, wellness
