Yoga Instructors: earn a Yoga Alliance CE approved 30 hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Certification that allows you to teach Trauma-Informed Yoga classes.
Non-yoga Instructors: If you are a therapist, body worker, trauma worker, etc, you will learn techniques and practices you can use with your clients in your professional practice. You may also use this training for your own personal healing journey. You do not need to be a professional to attend this training; it is designed for all.
Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training
The training provides an overview and understanding of what trauma is, how it affects us, how to use yoga as part of the healing process, and how to incorporate components of trauma-informed yoga into your life, classes, or clinical practice. We will also cover the benefits of trauma-informed yoga for students who are not necessarily traumatized but who are experiencing everyday or chronic stress. We will focus all of our practices on healing and regulating ourselves from stress and trauma.
Obtain not only an intellectual understanding of trauma and Trauma-Informed yoga, but also the ability to offer Trauma-Informed Yoga classes to a variety of populations. You will also achieve a more profound awareness of the self, which is integral to the effectiveness of all types of therapeutic yoga classes. If you are not a yoga teacher, this training will provide you with skills you can use with patients and/or clients. If you are not a therapist or a trauma worker it will help you to discover methods for your own self-regulation.
Through lecture, self-inquiry, group discussion, asana practice and breath work we will cover:
*What trauma is and how it is expressed in the body
*Types of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and how the nervous system and mind rewire in response to these traumatic events
*What trauma-informed yoga is and is not
*Symptoms of trauma and applicable trauma-informed practices to support nervous system regulation
*The significance of the vagus nerve in trauma and the role yoga plays in its ability to function optimally
*Holding space in the seat of the teacher
*Trauma-informed teaching tools and cues to create a safe and sacred place for students to heal
*Breath awareness and practices, and its relation to trauma-informed yoga
*The importance of heart-rate variability (HRV) on the body’s ability to manage stress
*How tremoring (Neurogenic Yoga) can help us heal from trauma and stress
*Resource growing to induce the relaxation response and support nervous system regulation.
Will include but not limited to these topics: boundaries, embodiment, sound/mantras, chakras/nadis, Bhavana, Sankalpa, and more

About your Facilitator
Denise Hyble, LMFT, LMHC, RYT200
Denise’s approach as a yoga teacher is to help people feel connected to their body, quiet their minds, stimulate a healthy nervous system, and release tension in the body caused by stress, anxiety, or trauma. Denise teaches gentle, mindful yoga. She sees yoga as a means of listening to the truths of our bodies rather than only the “shoulds” of our brains. Her teaching technique uses a combination of gentle asanas, breathwork, meditation, and somatic yoga.
Denise is also a gestalt psychotherapist in private practice specializing in trauma and PTSD work. Healing from trauma has been her focus and her passion both on the yoga mat and in the therapist’s chair. She is trained in Yoga to Transform Trauma, TRE (Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises), Neurogenic Yoga, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Emotional Freedom Technique, Gestalt Physical Process, Restorative Yoga and Embodied Life. Denise also created and teaches an online series on Yoga for Stress, Anxiety, and Depression.
