The Yoga Outreach Core Training™
This training empowers qualified yoga teachers and other movement professionals to reach individuals facing multiple barriers in their lives, including:
- violence,
- post-traumatic stress disorder,
- addictions, mental illness or health challenges, or
- incarceration.
Teachers who understand how to offer choice, focus on strengths, and emphasize sensation can create an environment that facilitates mental healing, as well as physical.
Yoga Outreach Core Training™ skills are applicable for teachers in any setting, including studios. Learn how to make all your classes or client sessions more accessible, by removing barriers you didn’t realize were there.
We have 25 years’ experience providing accessible yoga classes to marginalized people across BC. Our trauma-informed yoga teacher training draws on this experience, with plenty of real-life examples. All proceeds from this trauma-informed yoga teacher training allow us to create more healing spaces for our most vulnerable community members. Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll be eligible to volunteer with us if you choose.
You must attend the entire training to receive a certificate of completion. If there are extenuating circumstances, we’ll consider them on a case by case basis.
Please note, you’ll need to complete 5 hours of homework PRIOR to the course start date.
