Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training
Dismantling Cultural Appropriation | 3 Hours – VIRTUAL with Harpinder Mann
Harpinder Mann, the co-founder of the Womxn of Color Summit, will lead this three-hour training on the subject of cultural appropriation in the modern yoga world. Bringing in her unique perspective and experiences as an Indian-American, Harpinder will create a space to learn about:
- How cultural appropriation harms individuals, communities, and societies
- The complex relationship between cultural appropriation, colonization, and New Age spirituality
- How informed yoga teachers can better honor yoga’s roots and dismantle cultural appropriation by consciously releasing patterns of oppression and cultivating compassion, equanimity, and integrity
This module can be taken as part of the 40-Hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training. Our expert-led, Yoga Alliance-approved teacher training is a comprehensive educational experience designed to teach you how trauma expresses itself in the mind and body and shows up in the yoga room. Grounded in social theory, modern neuroscience, and yoga philosophy, you will learn teaching methods to skillfully address the impact of trauma on the body and mind, and trauma-informed movement, contemplative, and community experiences.
