EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT THROUGH ANCIENT PRACTICES
Having a clear and capable understanding of teaching trauma-informed yoga is essential for practicing teachers. Kripalu is pleased to host, this time online, David Emerson and Jenn Turner of the Trauma Center-Trauma Sensitive Yoga for their Foundational Training program.
Based on central components of the hatha yoga, Trauma Sensitive Yoga teaches a series of physical forms and movements modified to maximize experiences of empowerment and to cultivate a more positive relationship to each student’s own body. without the use of physical hands-on adjustments. Rather, Trauma Sensitive Yoga presents opportunities for participants to be in charge of themselves based on a felt sense of their own body.

Note This program is for professional development and learning. We recognize that although many of us may have experiences of trauma the time we spend together will not be an intervention for our own individual healing. Talking and learning about trauma, even in the context of a training, can be triggering.
Note You will have access to the video recording(s) for 30 days after the program ends. All recordings will be available within 72 hours of the end of each session.
