Are you a yoga teacher interested in learning to teach yoga in a trauma-informed way? Do you want to make your classes a safer and more inclusive space? Join our expert-led Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training! In this comprehensive 45-hour Yoga Alliance-approved teacher training, you’ll study with highly skilled trauma-informed instructors and learn how trauma affects our thoughts, expresses itself in the body, and shows up in the yoga room. Students in this program explore a wide range of topics, including intersectionality, mindfulness, somatic psychology, neuroscience, and how yoga philosophy intersects with modern psychology on the topic of trauma. This interactive training is entirely online, so it can be taken from anywhere!
This module–Trauma-Informed Practice for All Bodies–is open to the public! Guest teacher Natalia Tabilo, the founder of Yoga for All Bodies, will lead you through an exploration of how to serve diverse populations from a trauma-informed perspective, with an emphasis on students in larger bodies and people with disabilities (visible or invisible). You will analyze phrases, cues, and actions that have been normalized in yoga, but can perpetuate harm in people who have experienced fatphobia, ableism, microaggressions, and lack of agency around their bodies. You’ll receive concrete tips, actions, and best practices to create spaces in which everybody is truly welcome and can show up as they are. Natalia will also share stories of her own experience as a teacher with a larger body and with a disability. This is an essential training for any trauma-informed teacher.
This 3-hour module can be taken as part of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training, or separately on its own. The Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training provides 45 elective contact hours in Folk’s 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training, or 45 CEUs if you are already a registered yoga teacher.
