As yoga teachers, we work with our students to cultivate peace and harmony. More evident today than ever, we are faced with teaching students with PTSD, depression, anxiety or other emotional trauma. Teaching these students is more common than we know and it is necessary and imperative to understand how to integrate specific tools within our classes as well as develop classes to better serve them.This 10 hour training, available for CE credit through Yoga Alliance will give you the understanding and tools to teach a trauma informed class.

In this exploration, you will receive:
Education on what trauma is
Exploration of types of trauma, including depression, PTSD and anxiety disorders
Specific tools to differentiate trauma informed classes
Specific tools for integrating these tools in our everyday classes
Certificate of completion to submit to Yoga Alliance, if applicable
