TEACHING TRAUMA-SENSITIVE YOGA

With David Emerson

5-8 june 2013

A Workshop for Yoga Teachers
Research done at the Justice Resource Institute’s Trauma Center is establishing empirically that yoga may be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A groundbreaking study funded by the National Institute of Health, conducted from 2009–2011, showed that trauma-sensitive yoga reduced PTSD symptomology to a clinically significant degree.
The Trauma Center Yoga Program team has taught hundreds of classes to thousands of students from survivors of rape and childhood incest to Iraq War veterans. The team now offers a 40-hour workshop for yoga teachers in which you learn:
  • The latest trauma theories and neurophysiology
  • Chair and mat postures for a wide range of physical abilities
  • How to modify existing yoga classes to make them trauma-sensitive
  • What you need to start a trauma-sensitive class.
