Facilitating Somatic Embodiment: Skills Beyond Trauma Informed
Gain deeper comprehension of the nuances of the nervous system and how to effectively guide students toward the experience of somatic embodiment.
Enhance your teaching skills and understanding of trauma informed yoga.
This course is designed for yoga instructors who are ready to further develop their skills as space holders & guides in the realm of trauma resolution work within the context of yoga.
In this course, we will explore & develop interoceptive awareness through guided somatic contemplation, release long-held muscular bracing patterns that often under-lie chronic pain syndromes through somatic yoga and movement.
In practice, these techniques shift dissociative tendencies & promote a sense of integration within mind, body, and heart.
By the end of the course you will:
-
Develop Essential Somatic Skills: Gain tools to guide your students into a more embodied state, helping them increase their interoceptive awareness and internal resources.
-
Support Somatic Trauma-Informed Instruction: Learn approaches for confidently creating space for trauma healing, supporting your students' journeys with compassion and expertise.
-
Deepen Your Own Somatic Practice: Cultivate a more profound connection to your nervous system, body, & emotions, enhancing your personal yoga practice and overall well-being.
