This is for practitioners who want to take Yin Yoga and nervous system support into spaces where it can have a deeply transformative impact: clinical practices, incarceration settings, family harm environments, and other areas where people need compassionate support. It’s about equipping you to walk alongside individuals and communities in a way that fosters healing and resilience.

​

Whether you're a yoga teacher, somatic practitioner, therapist, or someone looking to expand their work into therapeutic or clinical settings, this training is designed to empower you to integrate these practices into meaningful, impactful programs.

​

At SomaPsych, this advanced training is the bridge between Yin Yoga as a personal or community practice and its application in systemic change, offering tools to support some of the most vulnerable populations with care and integrity.

​

By learning the science behind stress and trauma's impact on the mind and body, we can explore how to build a resilient foundation for restoring, supporting, and nourishing the nervous system through yin yoga. This training explores the needs of specific populations and appropriate considerations to ensure you are equipped with the tools to be responsive, creative and agile in the moment. It is one thing - one very important thing - to approach a general studio class with a trauma-informed lens and create a safe and inclusive space; it takes another, more in-depth and nuanced understanding to hold trauma-informed spaces specifically for individuals and groups who have experienced trauma.

 

 

By exploring how trauma often happens in relation to others, we unpack how healing and restoration can also happen in relationship. The sacred responsibility of holding this type of powerfully beautiful and vulnerable container is something we explore and work to integrate in order to hold the most responsive, respectful, and dignity-enhancing spaces.
