Our Guest Teachers

We are so honored to partner with Sundara Yoga Therapy, a nationally recognized and accredited Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy program. This training is designed to teach Trauma Informed Care practices as they apply to teaching public Yoga classes. Trauma Informed Yoga Teaching requires cognizance of the consequences of trauma and adversity, as well as the potential for Yoga practitioners to re-experience post-trauma symptoms while practicing Yoga. The focus of this training is creating a safe space, prevention of negative responses to Yoga practice in a public setting, recognition of issues and troubleshooting if such an event occurs. Time is also dedicated to an introduction of Interpersonal neurobiology, neuropsychology as it applies to Yoga practices, self-care, and deepening personal practice.

Completion of this program grants a 25hr Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy Level 1 certificate.

​Lauren Buck is bringing her ground-breaking YogaPlay workshop to the training, mashing up yoga with improv games and exercises that smarten your "being present" muscles, strengthen your communication skills and unleash your creativity. This workshop is also open to the public. Stay tuned for more information.
