3 DAY CPD FOR FACILITATORS  |  JANUARY 2022 in LONDON/ONLINE  |  £330 

This course is an extension of our Level 1 Trauma-Informed Yoga & Movement Course, and builds on the principles of trauma-sensitivity in relation to yoga and other movement modalities. With a more practical approach, you'll be invited to develop your teaching skills with trauma-informed movement work that you can take into your various settings as yoga teachers, movement facilitators and/or therapists.

​

• Build on the principles of yoga theory with an understanding of the basic neurobiology of trauma

• Learn the ways in which movement can support trauma and/or be possibly traumatic 

• Explore and practice how to integrate trauma-informed movement practices into general yoga and therapeutic movement settings including working with language and invitational cues

• Discover how to support individuals in special settings including issues of health and safety, supervision or mentorship, self-care/self-awareness and "broken-healer" issues

• Approach the nature of complex trauma and working in specific areas of trauma
