ABOUT THIS COURSE
Dear Yoga Teachers & Yoga Lovers!
This Course is designed for anyone who wishes to learn more about somatic practices such as yoga as an approach to healing the mind-body-spirit. You are not required to have a background in teaching yoga, this Course will provide a foundational approach to holding space and offering others support through the philosophy of yoga.
It is a perfect Course for those interested in enrolling into a Yoga Teacher Training Course at the 200 Hour Level shall you wish to continue on the journey of teaching yoga.
It is also a perfect supplement for anyone who currently works with humans of all demographics!
We will explore topics ranging from how the mind-body connection works, how to support ourselves and others who have experienced the hardships of life. Rather it is through injury, ailment or grief. We will focus on modalities that support the body in its own infinite wisdom and we will have the tools we need to hold space for others. This Course is a comprehensive approach to understanding why trauma plagues us all.
In my experience as a yoga therapist, working in the clinic and during private sessions, I am reminded that students are in a recurring state of suffering.
One of my favorite quotes, repeated by the Dalai Lama and often attributed to Haruki Murakami is,
“Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional”
A big part of teaching Adaptive Yoga is the understanding of Trauma!
The Sutras teach us about Kleshas, the afflictions that we experience as humans, for which we study and practice the discipline of Raja Yoga, one of the four paths to Samadhi.
Therefore, I have designed the 300 Hour Module 4 & the Certification Course to include topics that are in alignment with the study of trauma sensitivity, such as Yoga Nidra, Restorative, Chair Yoga Practices, as well as lessons on Prenatal, Children’s and Ayurveda. You will feel confident leading workshops and private sessions as many of your students will want privacy or specialties that are healing oriented. Students who have injuries, ailments and other issues in their tissues, often experience Kleshas and other disorders.
We will also revisit advanced teaching principles as they relate to students who utilize Asana as a distraction from Svadhyaya, the study of Self.
Lastly, we will conclude with many discussions on safe practices for yourself as the teacher and for your student. Energy exchange is real! We will have several lessons in observance of such topics.
This Course will also include “The Business of Yoga” and continuing education, as this Course is designed at the Advanced Teacher Level, allowing all Trainees to feel comfortable teaching from the perspective of an Adaptive Yoga Teacher, with a Trauma-Informed Specialty.
This portion of the Advanced Teacher Training will include an opportunity to receive a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training Certification 60 Hours, which is optional, submissions will be required for such.

300 HOUR TRAINEES: This Course Qualifies for all hours on the schedule + an additional 20 Hours for Submissions upon Certification. If you choose to NOT certify during your 300 Hour YTT and only meet the Module 4 Course Requirements, the additional 20 Hours will not be added to your log.

300 HOUR TRAINEES WILL NEED TO REFERENCE THEIR REQUIREMENTS.
