Teaching Yoga for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression & Body Image
50-hour Advanced Training for Yoga Teachers

Facilitator ~ Sarah Ball
Host ~ Lauren Morey

Are you a yoga teacher or health professional wanting to feel confident and equipped to offer more specialised support for your students or clients, but are unsure exactly how to refine your skills to be most sensitive to working with complex and vulnerable situations and communities?

This 50-hour advanced teacher training is designed specifically for you.

THIS TRAINING HAS REGULARLY BOOKED-OUT SINCE IT BEGAN IN 2018. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BOOK EARLY TO SECURE YOUR SPOT.

What is the training?

This 50-hour advanced training focuses on the specifics of working with Yoga for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Body Image. All modules are integrated from a person-centred, ethics-oriented, social-justice perspective. The course is designed to create deep shifts in the way you think about yoga, social justice and mental and spiritual health, and support you to be a confident facilitator of safe and empowering spaces for yoga to be shared in the context of challenging personal and psychological experiences in the lives of your students or 1-1 clients. The course is registered for 50-hours advanced training with Yoga Australia and attracts both CPD and teacher training hours.

Who is it for?

The training is designed for yoga teachers and health professionals with a dedicated yoga practice who genuinely want to feel confident and equipped to offer more specialised support for their students and clients, but are unsure exactly how to refine their skills to be most sensitive to working with complex and vulnerable situations and communities. If you're among this community of practitioners, then this course is tailored specifically to train you in these areas so you can feel confident and clear in your approach to mental health, trauma, and body image in your yoga teaching or mental health/wellbeing work.

A certification of 200-hour yoga teaching is recommended to attend the course if you intend to teach yoga following the training (teachers-in-training who are currently completing a minimum 200 hour certification may also enrol). However, those in the health industry who have a personal yoga practice and wish to integrate the principles from the training into their clinical work are also welcome.

The training is designed to ensure there's plenty of opportunity for small and large groups discussions, as well as personal reflection, diverse learning methods and integration of content.
