Trauma Informed Yoga Training
Sept.-Dec 2021 > 24 hour certificate > training focused on adding teaching strategies to folks who may have been traumatized (by assault/abuse) and/or incarcerated. These folks may have (or are) experiencing disembodiment. Yoga is a way to encourage folks to begin to re- embodied. Strategies included: use of language and cues to be kinder and instructions to be more a 'option or choice' for the participant. Asana practice was also focused on 'kindness and choice', encouraging doing 'easier' postures with simple instructions. We were encouraged to use language to promote inclusion.
