About the NEW Mindfulness and Trauma Level 1 Training:

This NEW Mindfulness and Trauma Certification Training is attracting like-minded people from around the world.

All of our workshops are designed to help students deal with the unprecedented challenges that we're all facing today. Through our focus on Trauma-sensitive practices, we will explore the neuroscience of trauma,  and how we can best guide our children in making positive, life-giving changes that support their wellbeing and their dreams.

The Mindfulness and Trauma Training will include workshops on trauma literacy to inspire post-traumatic growth in the midst of these traumatizing times.

Workshops include:

- The risks of leading contemplative practices to traumatized students.

 - Trauma-Informed Mindfulness practice.

- Evidence-based tools for healing the gut-brain connection.
- Movement for soothing a traumatized nervous system.

Yoga Teacher Training isn’t just yoga theories, lesson plans, and poses. It’s a practical, in-person course (that can be done virtually) that will take you from yoga enthusiast to confident yoga teacher, even if you're only a novice.

Participants will be trained in and receive Yoga 11, Yoga for Autism and Yoga for Special Needs Manuals.

Last year's conference attendees reported 100% satisfaction from the experience. Participants have found the Yoga Conference/Full YTT to be as much of a personal retreat as it is a professional development course.

Research has shown that yoga helps students to make healthier lifestyle choices, become more skillful in relationships, and  control their impulses, all while supporting their learning.
