This course is designed for yoga and mental health practitioners seeking to share yoga with people who have experienced trauma.

Read more
In this session, we identify key components of trauma recovery and yoga philosophy that guide our understanding moving forward.
We’ll discuss the role of the nervous system in trauma, and in healing, and how it can provide a context for healthy relationships. We’ll also discuss risks of including yoga in therapeutic work in this module.
MODULE 2:
CASE STUDIES
Read more
In this module, we will explore both an individual and group case study, and apply the material from Module 1 to each case.
This module will help us to identify the diverse needs of clients and groups, and to consider how we can skillfully apply the theoretical principles learned in Module 1.
MODULE 3:
TREATMENT PLANNING

In this session, we will review the commonalities between yoga philosophy and practice and posttraumatic stress.
You will learn how to use yoga to respond to client’s needs and goals, and how to weave yoga postures and breathing practices into treatment plans. We'll even explain how goat yoga fits in here!
MODULE 4:
YOGA AND MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCACY
Read more
Even if you're not a clinician or yoga teacher, these practices can offer us pathways to advocate for our own mental health needs, as well as others. This module will provide you with language and reasoning that will help promote mental health in your own practice, in your studio, and in your professional offering.
