Yin: Trauma + Prenatal Informed Yoga Certification
Duration: 8 hours
Teacher: Brittany Cogdeill
This certification qualifies for 8 CE contact hours through Yoga Alliance
Yin Yoga's core principles render it an ideal practice for individuals navigating trauma or pregnancy. By fostering a nurturing space, Yin yoga facilitates emotional release and healing. Moreover, it enables seamless adjustments to accommodate the physical changes that occur during pregnancy, supporting practitioners at every stage.
Target audience for the course: This certification is designed for those who have a passion for helping others through trauma or those who have experienced trauma themselves. This certification is also designed for individuals who are currently pregnant, plan to be pregnant or teachers that have a desire to teach Yin Yoga with accommodations for prenatal students.
Prerequisites for the course: This certification is open to both yoga teachers and students of the practice; 200- hour CYT (certified yoga teacher) recommended but not required; SHINE Yin Yoga Level One Certification recommended but not required.
This certification is broken down into two distinct modules: yin yoga through the lens of trauma-informed yoga and prenatal yoga. We begin with an understanding of trauma, its prevalence, and how to generally accommodate people who have experienced trauma.
