tawow, welcome!
We are grateful to welcome students from across the world!
The intention of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is to invite students to integrate yoga psychology into their personal and professional practices. Our trainings meet Yoga Alliance standards and honour yoga as a pathway of relationship, liberation, and care.
Students gain a deep understanding of trauma as it presents in the body, mind, spirit, and relationships. Together, we explore how a yoga psychology approach can expand our capacity to meet the needs of the people we support, both on and off the mat.
Our programs are experiential, inviting learners to embody the teachings and practices for themselves. Each module is offered in a retreat-style format to create space for rest, reflection, and connection. Students are encouraged to nurture themselves and one another through community dialogue, personal practice, and practicum experiences.
Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is dedicated to supporting self-reflection and self-awareness as foundations of ethical, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive care. Because we approach trauma with sensitivity, each student completes an application and creates a plan for ongoing mind-body-spirit-heart support throughout their training.
