Why Yin Yoga?

By studying Yin Yoga professionally you will gain the knowledge and experience to confidently share your understanding with your students while also deepening your own personal practice. This allows you the opportunity to hone your existing skills and expertise while learning new and informed ways of cultivating a powerful and safe class for the general public.

Why Trauma-Informed?

The body holds trauma to different degrees and complexities. As a teacher you are creating space for individuals to explore and connect with their breath body and mind. Therefore it is important to be sure we are able to hold students in the wholeness of their experience understand what may be happening for them on a physiological and neurological level without needing to alter or change their experience. We are here to bear witness allow and hold space for transformation in their own time and way.

Why is Trauma-Informed facilitation important in Yin Yoga? 

In yin yoga we ask people to come to their edge of comfort find a sense of stillness and hold for a length of time. This is a challenge for many people. Add the layers and nuances of stress and trauma and now there are so many more considerations to take into account. The quiet depths of yin yoga hold vulnerable potential for triggered experiences challenging emotions and so much more. It is our sacred duty as teachers and practitioners to know about deeply understand and honour these lived experiences and the potential they hold.

The arousal energy and experience of stress and trauma reside in the tissues of the physical body. Nervous tissue and fascial memory hold the residue of these experiences. Memories or behaviours can be triggered through language scent touch atmosphere music and so much more. It is our ethical responsibility to know and understand how to create safe(r) spaces and environments for people to explore their practice in their own time and way.
