TRAUMA SENSITIVE + SPECIAL POPULATIONS

Teaching for every body. Instructing yoga for special populations is not just about offering posture modifications that create a safe environment for body types, but also learning about different student types. It also helps you develop valuable skills for working one-on-one and for meeting individual students’ needs in a group setting.

Expand your reach; helping people deal with severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex, relational trauma—from military veterans to survivors of chronic abuse and neglect. Explore yoga as a healing practice for trauma.
