How are we wielding the power and responsibility we have as yoga teachers? 

In our upcoming 50-hour Accessible Yoga Training Online, you’ll learn all sorts of tools to make yoga available to every body—how to adapt asana, poses that help build strength and flexibility, creating mixed-level classes, trauma-sensitive principles, and much more. 

But we’ll also explore *how* we use our skills and knowledge to create experiences that uplift our students and communities. 

The training begins on September 26. Hope you’ll join us!

"If you’re aiming to make your teaching more trauma sensitive, the first step is to reflect on your role and consider what it is you’re trying to accomplish," writes .

"This is a very different perspective than seeing students as traumatized and needing to be healed. And it may change the way you view your role as teacher."

🌿 Our Trauma & Yoga Series begin today, and we can't wait to explore the nuances of this topic, so you have the perspectives to make your yoga spaces more trauma informed. You can still join us at the link in the first comment!
