30hr Trauma-Informed Yoga Foundations
Our 30hr Trauma-Informed Yoga Foundations training provides a comprehensive foundation in Yoga for Humankind’s integrative, transformational and embodied approach to trauma-informed yoga – weaving yoga, social justice and spirit for personal and collective wellbeing.
100hr Certification in Trauma-Informed Yoga & Embodied Social Change
More than a trauma-informed approach, our 100hr training offers a truly trauma-transforming practice:
A whole human, whole system of embodied social change that gathers from and honours the intersections of trauma theory, social justice, and embodied spirit-centered practice such as yoga, indigenous traditions, and contemporary somatics. A holistic framework for restoring connection between our selves, each other, and the earth and taking action in the world.
Why us?
EMBODIED & EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Our approach to healing and education is about much more than information and individual learning. Alongside cutting-edge contemporary research, evidence-based practice, and ancient wisdom, our programs emphasise embodied learning and transformation in a diverse, global community.
WE EMBODY WHAT WE TEACH
We are committed to embodying what we teach: connection, equity, wellbeing, belonging, wisdom and social change. We are passionate about building community and regenerative cultures, and co-creating connected, wholehearted ways of being, belonging and becoming.
ACCESSIBLE, EQUITABLE & ANTI-OPPRESSIVE
We are committed to making our programs and services accessible, equitable and rooted in practices of anti-oppression and decolonisation.
