WHY BECOME TRAUMA-INFORMED?
Because in a post-pandemic world, we ALL have trauma.
Fortunately, when we have the knowledge to meet ourselves + each other as we are, we can create a kinder, more compassionate world for all.
This training is open to anyone, but is tailored towards yoga teachers who are looking to integrate this work into how they teach and engage with students.
