This weekend, learn to practice and teach yoga in a trauma-sensitive and nervous-system-oriented way—gently, deeply, and safely. This yoga teacher training weekend is ideal for yoga teachers, educators, and yogis who feel that yoga can be more than just physical movement. - In your own practice, in your teaching, and in everyday life.
In this retreat and 25-hour Yoga Teacher Training (TT), we’ll learn to understand the nervous system and teach yoga in a way that regulates rather than overwhelms, apply trauma-sensitive principles—so your classes feel safe, warm, and inviting— to cultivate self-care and self-regulation for yourself as a teacher, so you remain present, grounded, and authentic; and to deepen your yoga practice through somatic tools, breathwork, meditation, and Yin/Restorative yoga, making your classes slower, more profound, and more transformative.
