Trauma-Informed Care: A culture shift for BIPOC Healers Training

Created with love, for BIPOC healers, this course explores trauma, its holistic impact, and offers tools for healing-practitioners to confidently hold more trauma-informed spaces.

To ground your healing practice in trauma-informed care is to acknowledge that most people you are working with have directly/indirectly had at least one traumatic experience that they bring with them into the healing spaces; that they house them in their bodies, that they are vulnerable — and that we owe it to them to do our work so we minimize causing further harm.

This training package is open to yoga instructors, mental health professionals, educators, survivor advocates, coaches, activists, medical professionals, birthworkers, and other healing practitioners/professionals.

Upon completion of this course BIPOC healers will:

• Understand the holistic impact of trauma on the body, mind, spirit, and relationships/community
• Be able to identify potential and active triggers while minimizing client re-traumatization 
• Know how to thoughtfully integrate trauma-informed principles into healing practices from first client contact to rendering of service
• Identify self-care practices and boundary setting strategies that help healing-practitioners avoid burnout and inform a sustainable practice
• And Trauma-informed Yoga for Survivors of Sexual Assault: Practices for Teaching and Healing with Compassion
• And so much more...

Transcending Sexual Trauma Through Yoga

Memories of sexually violent experiences can be intrusive, which can create challenges for survivors. These memories can also make it difficult for survivors who are looking to establish connection in their lives and learn how to trust again.

The entire experience of practicing yoga can help survivors find union between seemingly disconnected and challenging aspects of the self, allowing participants to slowly build the pieces into an integrated whole.

These novel and uncertain times can be especially challenging for survivors of sexual trauma. Trauma can leave the body feeling dis-regulated and unsafe. Trauma-Informed yoga can help survivors gently tend to embodied, trauma imprints and bring them to the surface. And with greater awareness, time, and patience, survivors often feel empowered with new tools to name and address their symptoms and survival responses and identify ways to work through them. This can ultimately lead to a space where survivors can expand their capacity for neuroplasticity and take powerful steps towards post-traumatic growth.

Being trauma-informed is a philosophy and a systemic framework of the way we truly see people and honor their humanity. It is a lifelong commitment to learning in and doing the work of being an ally, educating ourselves, being aware of our biases, and engaging in culturally affirming practices. It is committing to and engaging in our work that at all costs; avoids re-traumatization.

Our Trauma-Informed Yoga Online Training will provide yoga teachers, mental health professionals, educators, administrators, activists, medical professionals, doulas, coaches, healers, or anyone who is interested in teaching from a trauma-informed lens with all of the necessary tools to create a safe trauma-informed, and culturally affirming environment for survivors of sexual violence.
