Welcome!
The intention for Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is to invite students to learn ways to integrate yoga psychology into their practices. Our yoga teacher training meet the Yoga Alliance training standards while also offering Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School students a thorough understanding of trauma, as it presents, and how a yoga psychology approach can deepen our ability to meet the needs of the people we support on and off of the mat.
Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is experiential in nature and will invite students to experience all practices and teachings for themselves with the intention of deepening their ability to walk their talk, as helping professionals and yoga teachers. Each module is designed to resemble a retreat-like format so that each student can feel nurtured and, in turn, nurture each other within the group practice, discussions, and practicum components.
Students will learn to bring Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology into their scope of practice. Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is dedicated to providing opportunities for self-reflection as a means of enhancing self-awareness. With trauma being a sensitive topic, each student will be required to complete an application for enrollment and create a plan to ensure mind-body-spirit-heart support throughout the training.
