What if you could empower clients to recover from trauma with yoga?
Introduction to Trauma Sensitive Yoga is an evidence-based online course where you'll learn powerful new practical skills to support recovery from trauma, including PTSD.
People recovering from trauma are looking for support. Trauma Sensitive Yoga provides you with the evidence based techniques you need to serve them.
Whether you’re a yoga teacher, a health professional or a complementary therapist, here's the truth. You are already working with clients recovering from trauma. Up to 75%1 of Australians experience a potentially traumatic experience and 6 out of every 100 people2 will have PTSD at some point in their lives.

If that's the case, the Introduction to Trauma Sensitive Yoga is the roadmap you need to build your skills and confidence to make a lasting, positive impact on clients through the healing power of yoga.

It’s a very well structured course, and I learned so much. I was doing this for my own personal learning, but I have actually surprised myself by teaching some friends and family who have had traumatic experiences. They found it really helpful. Highly recommended.
Annabel Lee

I feel such a level of accomplishment at the end of each module. I prefer face to face training, but I got much more out of this e-course than I thought. I'm already using what I've learned with clients and they're responding really well. This has been great value for money overall.

My Experience of Trauma Sensitive Yoga
I walked into my first yoga class 30 years ago. Paralysed with fear, I was struggling with acute anxiety and panic disorder and had lost hope of ever feeling ‘normal’ again. I was in despair.
I was fortunate to find a trauma sensitive yoga teacher who helped me transform my life through yoga. Little by little, I began to heal and the yoga that had started out as a means of survival became a roadmap to joy, fulfilment and love.
I've spent the last two decades studying Yoga Therapy. I'm a certified Yoga Therapist and I also hold a Master's degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy as well as a graduate degree in Public Health.
This training distills what I have learned on this extraordinary journey of discovery. I invite you to join me.
