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 Sexual Trauma with Alexandra Rossi–you’ll learn about the trauma experienced as a result of sexual harassment and assault, and how this form of trauma has been, at times, a serious problem in the yoga world. You’ll explore these issues in a brave and courageous space, and learn how to teach in a trauma-informed way that is sensitive to survivors of assault and includes positive imagery, non-triggering and respectful language, and trust-building. This module includes practices such as restorative yoga, body scans, self-compassion, and intention-setting.
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.
