Many opportunities to learn personally and professionally

It's ok not to know... at first.  It's ok to be afraid.  Becoming an anti-racist is a journey that involves a lot of self inquiry and exploration so that you can navigate the multiple truths of power and privilege.  It requires humility and willingness to stretch past your comfort zone.  Challenge the conditioning that we all learn from living in the United States. Becoming an anti-racist applies to all white people as well as BIPOC individuals and clinicians.  BIPOC individuals can also not have an anti-racist lens because they have internalized the racism of the larger society.

Trauma sensitive yoga Teacher Training from an anti-racist lens

Trauma Sensitive Yoga has foundations in trauma theory, attachment theory, and neuroscience as well as deep roots in yoga. At the moment of trauma our arousal system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) is impacted moving us into hyperarousal or hypoarousal. We are wired to automatically engage our animal defenses which are fight, flight, freeze, submit or attach to help us survive. If we experience repeated traumas there can be lasting effects on our body and arousal system which makes yoga a healing modality to help address the body's memories of the trauma. The breath is the vehicle for helping to regulate our arousal system. Trauma sensitive yoga aims to cultivate awareness of the mind-body connection and build self-regulation skills to address the ways in which trauma is held in the body.

Pillars of trauma informed care that will be reviewed in the training:
-building awareness/mindfulness of mind-body connection and how trauma is held in the body
-understanding of polyvagal theory and its relationship to depression and anxiety
-teaching in a way that focuses on internal experience rather than expression of asana
-fostering curiosity, self-trust, and self-confidence
-development of safety
-promotion of healing relationships
-teaching of self-management and coping skills
-empowering choices in how one practices and moves one's body
-pacing of practice so one doesn't feel overwhelmed
-helping to safely connect to one's body
-identifying and changing somatic patterns
-learning somatic resources and focused breathing exercises
-understanding role of mindfulness
-self-inquiry work on how privilege, race and power can impact relationships
-promoting post-traumatic growth

Training will be didactic and experiential.  You do not need to be a yoga teacher to participate. ​
