50 Hours Trauma Informed & Inclusive Yoga TTC
with Maya Lindvall & Andrea Richardson
Step into a new way of sharing yoga—one that prioritizes safety, self-empowerment and inclusivity. This one-week immersive training is designed to help you create a nurturing space where all students feel seen, supported and safe.
More than just a training, this course is an invitation to see beyond the physical practice—to recognize the invisible stories carried by those who step onto the mat. It will help you understand and identify trauma in others, giving you the ability to approach your students with acceptance, open-mindedness and care. Yoga is not about fixing; it is about holding space, about meeting people where they are with understanding and compassion. This journey will change the way you teach, but more importantly, it will deepen the way you connect—with yourself and those around you.
Certified by Yoga Alliance as a continuing education program, this training not only expands your knowledge but also provides recognized credentials to support your teaching journey.
