TRAUMA-RESPONSIVE YOGA
Do I need prior yoga experience to attend?
Prior yoga experience is not required. In fact, a majority of attendees have had none, or very little exposure to yoga practice.
Do I need prior clinical/mental health training to attend?
Prior knowledge and training in the area mental health is always a plus, but not required for this workshop. Day 1 will provide an in-depth overview of trauma, stress and how it affects both physical and mental health processes. This will provide attendees the foundation for understanding and using Trauma-Responsive Yoga with traumatized/maltreated populations/clients.
What if I have mobility issues that keep me from engaging in the activities?
Trauma-Responsive Yoga advocates that practitioners decide what forms/movements feels safe and comfortable to them, and to respect the decision to not go beyond that point. Participants are not required to perform all the forms/movements. If needed, you are welcome just to sit and observe if that feels comfortable.
Do I have to stay all three days?
For the fullest experience, we encourage participants to stay all three days. For those requesting CEUSs or hours from Yoga Alliance, it is required you attend all three days. We cannot provide credit for less than 17 CEUs/contact hours.
