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–Understanding Childhood Trauma with Alexandra Rossi–gives you a broader understanding of how children and adolescents experience trauma, and how to work with them in a positive, trauma-informed way. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of how childhood trauma affects adults, how remnants of one’s childhood trauma might show up in a yoga class, and how to create an environment that helps adults to be compassionate with and work to heal these traumatized parts of themselves. You’ll learn trauma-informed teaching techniques that can be used specifically for children and teens, including intentional breathing practices, somatic experiencing, tapping and drumming, and mindfulness.
This module can be taken only as part of the complete Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training. 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.
