Trauma-Informed Yoga Fundamentals*, offered by Hala Khouri & Kyra Haglund of Collective Resilience Yoga, is a combination of its Module 1 (Trauma-Informed Yoga Basics) & Module 2 (Yoga & Social Justice) trainings.
The first half of this 40-hour training provides an integrative and physiological framework for understanding the relationship between trauma & chronic stress and the mind/body. It focuses on yoga, mindfulness, somatic practices, and meditation (along with relevant theory and tools) to help reduce reduce trauma symptoms, cultivate a greater sense of well-being, and support the reclamation of safety and empowerment in the body.
The second half of this training provides a deep dive into how trauma and structural violence impacts us on the individual, institutional, and systemic levels, as well as how trauma-informed yoga teaching can help pave the way for more resilience, transformation, and equity in our communities. Through a sociopolitical framework, we explore power, privilege, marginalization, oppression, and social justice issues like poverty, racism, sexism, and homophobia. Unpacking and reflecting on our own individual locations in these systems is vital for any space holder to do in order to truly serve others and cultivate healing for all.
Topics covered in this 5-day intensive include:
• The autonomic nervous system & stress response
• Attachment & Polyvagal Theories
• Somatic Therapy tools for resourcing & self-regulation
• Inclusive, trauma-informed language, cueing & teaching
• Harm reduction in yoga & other healing spaces
• Strength and resilience in marginalized communities
• Spiritual bypass as it relates to social justice
• Connections between yoga, trauma, oppression, resilience & healing
• How identity, positionality & intersectionality impacts us all
• Staying present & interacting with others with different identities & experiences
• Exploring ways to use our practice & teaching to heal & create social change
This intensive is open to people of all levels and all backgrounds; you do not need any specific training prior to attending, although we strongly recommend having a current yoga practice. We believe this training will be most helpful (and valuable) to those interested in being more trauma and social justice-informed, including yoga teachers, social workers, therapists, clinicians, health care professionals, educators, community service personnel, and activists looking for more equitable, sustainable tools and approaches to support healing from trauma and chronic stress.
