What’s Inside Your Trauma-Informed Yoga Certification Course?

Softening the trauma response through yoga is one of many crucial techniques. This involves gentle movements and poses that help release tension from the body, allowing practitioners to reconnect with sensations safely. Grounding techniques, such as focusing on breathing or engaging with the present moment through mindfulness practices, can also be practical tools in navigating traumatic experiences during yoga sessions.

An integral concept within trauma-informed yoga is Polyvagal Theory – which explores how our autonomic nervous system responds to stress and trauma. By incorporating specific practices that promote the regulation of the nervous system, we can support individuals in finding a balance between activation (fight/flight) and relaxation (rest/digest).

Any trauma-informed yoga teacher must possess knowledge about common symptoms associated with trauma responses so they can offer appropriate guidance throughout classes. Understanding triggers and potential emotional reactions enables instructors to create a compassionate space where participants feel seen, heard, and supported.

Going Deeper into Building Trust

Preparing a room for trauma-informed yoga goes beyond simply arranging mats; it involves curating an environment that feels safe and inviting. Creating physical boundaries using props or positioning mats strategically helps foster feelings of containment while offering opportunities for personal expression within those limits.

Students should know what to expect in your classes. The class description should spell out the fact that students are welcomed into an ongoing routine without surprises. As a result, teachers are building trust, comfort, and a safe haven. Therefore, triggers are less likely in a routine that is familiar. Good results encourage students to come back to practice. Initially, comfort might be the most welcoming feature in our classes.

Upon completing this course you will have five distinctly different lesson plans for a variety of purposes and working knowledge of how and why to create your lesson plans.
