In recent years, much of the world has become more “trauma informed,” meaning that it is now widely acknowledged that much of the way we suffer - our physiological, mental, and relational struggles - are rooted in trauma. As yoga teachers, and other wellness industry professionals, we hold the intention of doing good. We want to help people to feel better as a result of our services. Though we are - like many - more “trauma informed” than we used to be, does this make us prepared to help?

Join Jess Ryan, LPC, NCC, E-RYT 500, and Steph Hanson, LPC, NCC, E-RYT, for this three hour lecture and practice for yoga teachers and mental health professionals hoping to integrate yoga and other somatic practices. We’ll discuss:

Scope of practice: what you CAN do, and when to “refer out”

The difference between trauma aware, trauma informed, and trauma trained
