EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM NOTICE

The Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Program is an educational program. This program is not intended to provide therapy to students. Our faculty cannot offer one-on-one therapeutic sessions to students. Atlas Yoga School has a group of yoga teachers that are working with us that you can book directly if you feel you could benefit from yoga therapy. We suggest that if you are looking for a resource you may search for Somatic Therapists in your region or you may check out resources such as google, United States Association for Body Psychotherapy (USABP), or the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA).

Questions asked during the live sessions should remain focused on the educational understanding and enhancement of the material.

Any therapeutic questions for your own individual journey or of those you know, we encourage you to engage with your resources outside of the program.

We are aware that while working with the issues of trauma can bring up a variety of responses in the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional bodies and we will take time to do grounding exercises and share community check ins often. You may require more than that and we encourage you to seek support so that you can learn and grow in a way that is not re-traumatizing.

We will endeavour to do our best to provide trigger warnings when any stories or visuals are shared that could be a trigger for participants. From time to time, even with the most conscious of presenters something may be triggering for you. We recognize and honour this and will continually remind us all to use the resources that we know work for us individually and seek support when necessary.

Having said all of this, if you find that you need a little help during a session to get orientated to your resources do let us know and we will do our best to support you and help you to feel grounded and safe. In the rare case where you are feeling completed ungrounded or overwhelmed know that you can stop watching the live or recorded session and rest. The recording will be there when you are feeling more centred and ready to continue.
