Become a Trauma-Informed Teacher – Not Just a Yoga Instructor
Our 200-hour program equips you to teach adaptive, neuroscience-backed yoga for anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Rooted in social justice, you’ll learn to create inclusive spaces for marginalized communities – studios, prisons, or recovery centers.
You’ll graduate with:
Trauma-Informed Certification: Lead classes that prioritize nervous system regulation over “perfect” poses.
Business & Advocacy Skills: Ethically market your services and partner with nonprofits.
Lifelong Community: Join teachers worldwide redefining yoga as a tool for equity, not elitism.*
Trauma informed yoga feels like it gets to the heart of what yoga really is intended to be. I wanted to make sure if I were to take yoga teacher training that it would align with my personal outlook on yoga, and I think having an introduction call with Melanie helped me to feel certain that I was signing up for something that I believed in.
