Trauma-Sensitive Practices: CEU Training for Yoga Teachers

5 Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Hours

How might our teaching change when we consider the experiences people bring into the room, and recognize that we may never know their stories?

Join Jamie Stanish, TCTSY-F, RYT-500, YACEP, for a five-hour foundational training exploring yoga through a trauma-informed lens. Together, we’ll consider how our language, pacing, classroom environment, and relationships can support students’ choice, agency, and connection with their own bodies. And it might not be what you expect. This method is not about tiptoeing around triggers or telling painful stories about trauma. It is about meeting people where they are, and finding opportunities to grow the window of tolerance.

Through education, discussion, reflection, and experiential learning, we’ll explore:

• Foundational trauma theory and nervous system responses

• Interoception: noticing sensations within the body
