We don't know what others are going through.

Yoga can, however, support people who are navigating challenging circumstances, such as grief, divorce, chronic illness, etc.

This 4-hour training will explore trauma-informed teaching approaches, including:

• Types of trauma

• How to create a safe(r) practice space 

• Reading the energy in the room

• Language cues to invite full participation

• Self-care considerations.

Expect lively discussions, ample breaks for reflection, a trauma-informed yoga practice and an embodied sense of how to incorporate these techniques into your teaching, if you are a yoga teacher. Worksheets are included.

This experience is open to yoga teachers and to anyone who is curious about trauma-informed yoga.

Yoga teachers will earn 4 CEUs through Yoga Alliance upon completion of this workshop.

This training will be led by yoga teacher Elizabeth Wood, E-RYT 500. She has taught thousands of classes in a variety of settings, including yoga studios, community centers and schools. 

Since 2019, Elizabeth has led a trauma-informed yoga program at a juvenile detention center in central Ohio. She is a co-author of the international best selling book, The Call Within: Finding Purpose and Sparking Transformation. Elizabeth received the 2025 Pillar of the Community award in Canal Winchester.
