Foundational Training in Trauma Center-Trauma Sensitive Yoga

April 25 and May 23 2021

11am-7pm

This training is a professional training designed for yoga teachers, social workers, educators, mental health professionals, and other service providers interested in deepening their understanding of the complexities of systemic and interpersonal trauma, the impact of complex trauma on the nervous system and how a trauma informed yoga practice can assist in integrating healing. This training emphasizes core concepts that inform using movement and breath through the ancient practice of yoga as a tool to aid in healing from trauma. Individuals completing this training will learn how existing in systems of oppression creates and perpetuates trauma, the impact of long term trauma on the brain, body, and relationships, and how to develop a trauma-informed lens based on these understandings.

TCTSY is an evidence-based adjunctive treatment for complex trauma and treatment-resistant Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and was the first yoga practice to be listed on the SAMSHA’s US-based directory of evidence-based practices. It was developed in collaboration with the Trauma Center in Brookline, Massachusetts and is the foundational program of the Center for Trauma and Embodiment at the Justice Resource Institute. This body-based practice based on sound research is utilized with children, youth, and adults throughout the United States and in dozens of countries around the world. This 20-hour training qualifies as the prerequisite for the 300-hour Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga certification program.

You do not need to be a yoga teacher or a licensed professional to attend this training. Although this training is conducted professionally through a trauma-informed lens with compassion and care to the content discussed, developing skills and building collective resilience may be potentially draining or triggering for some. Please be prepared with a self-care plan and network of support for our weekend together.

*A portion of your weekend training fee will go into a scholarship fund supporting people who have experienced oppression and trauma to complete the 300-hour certification program. Thank you for your support!

One of the great paradoxes of yoga is that no one can do it for us, but we can not do it alone. As much as yoga is a deeply personal practice that relies on our own ongoing efforts over time, each of us is also a social, relational being that exists in a complex web of connections. This all-levels asana intensive is designed to celebrate the power of community through discussion, contemplation, shared asana practice, and chanting. Christina Sell, known for her down-to-earth teaching style and practical approach to spirituality will offer an intelligently-sequenced program with instruction, explanation, and progressive techniques to help practitioners of all levels experience the power of practice and the joy of good company.

A study into the delicate complexity of our exquisite bodies and the ways we can experience profound transformation in tangible form. When we can better understand the subtle body, often understated and difficult to comprehend, we can tap into a higher state of consciousness.

Together we will dive into experiential practices, discussion and methodologies of energetic anatomy and alignment, including the Koshas, Chakras, and Gunas. Delight in the wonderment and vitality of that which is you through energetic practices that tap into these topics as a way to liberate our sacred bodies through yoga Asana and other uses of movement including pranayama breath exercises, active listening training, modes of meditation, and restorative expression.
