Chronic stress and trauma deeply impact our nervous systems, self-image, and relationships. This advanced 8-hour training delves into therapeutic yoga to address relational and attachment-based wounds, bridging psychological insights and embodiment practices.

Participants will explore the links between social rejection and pain, connective tissue and self-love, and chronic illness management. Grounding techniques, attachment-focused practices, and guided body dialogues foster self-compassion, resilience, and effective tools for practitioners who support others in trauma-informed settings.

This training is also for those who want to work mindfully with others in a nervous system and trauma-informed way like therapists, coaches, teachers and medical professionals.
