CEU WORKSHOPS
TRAUMA INFORMED YOGA
OCTOBER 18-20, 10AM-6PM
WITH AMY GREEN
For yoga teachers and mental health professionals.
Traumatic events have a lasting impact on survivors, including changing the way that we view others and the world around us. These experiences can make it hard to trust ourselves and others around us, perpetuating isolation and disconnection.
Yoga has been found to support survivors who are dealing with severe post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex, inter-relational trauma- from military veterans to survivors of chronic abuse. Trauma sensitive yoga practices have been shown to significantly reduce PTSD symptoms for people with complex trauma and to significantly improve quality of life. This training will support you in building classes to be trauma informed, as well as identifying new practices and coping skills to promote resiliency and integrate greater coping for intrusive symptoms.
