In this nine-hour module, you will explore the relationship between trauma and the mind, including how traumatic experiences can influence thoughts, emotions, behaviors, memory, and perception. You will gain an understanding of the neurobiological and psychological impacts of trauma, as well as the ways trauma can shape an individual’s sense of safety, connection, and well-being. In a brave and supportive learning environment, you’ll examine the principles of trauma-informed care and develop greater awareness of how trauma may present in yoga and wellness settings. This module includes reflective practices, mindfulness exercises, guided discussion, experiential learning, and opportunities to cultivate compassion, resilience, and a deeper understanding of the healing process.
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.
This module can be taken only as part of the complete Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training. The Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training provides 40 elective contact hours in Folk’s 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training, or 40 CEUs if you are already a registered yoga teacher.
