Integrating Yoga Therapy, Somatic Experiencing™, trauma neuroscience and attachment theory to increase safety, embodiment, choice, voice and empowerment for trauma survivors

Many trauma survivors seek out yoga and mindfulness to support them in their healing journey. However, without the proper awareness or safeguards in place, the very practice of yoga, mindfulness and other meditative practices can be unintentionally re-traumatizing. The act of becoming more mindfully present through focus on the breath, body or through certain intentional movements or postures can trigger procedural memories, emotions or physical sensations that are painful or overwhelming. Some students and clients may find themselves discouraged, upset or coping by bottling up, overriding or dissociating, reluctant to return.

Learning Objectives:

Explore the neuroscience of trauma, stress and emotional dysregulation
Find out how yoga and mindfulness practices can backfire
Identify ways to minimize the risk of triggering trauma responses
Integrate new skills and practices to enhance and adapt your existing approaches
Understand your own triggers and how to work with them

Note: The order of the content covered in levels 1 and 2 has been revised, with some new content being added. Website will be updated soon.

The training is equal parts professional development and personal growth, as a yoga teacher’s capacity for embodied self-regulation and therapeutic presence is one of the strongest tools available for supporting students. The training is offered in a retreat format to emphasis yoga teacher self-care, and the topics of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue will also be explored, in acknowledgment of the impact of the work on teachers.
