Old Fourth Ward

This training will equip you with relevant theory, tools, and in-person practice to better support trauma survivors as they befriend their bodies and reclaim a sense of safety and empowerment in their lives.

TIYB covers:

• The autonomic nervous system & stress response
• The Polyvagal Theory
• Overview of Attachment Theory
• Somatic Therapy tools for resourcing (informed by Peter Levine’s method of Somatic Experiencing, as well as Pat Ogden’s Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and various other modalities of movement)
• Yoga practices & somatic meditations for greater self-regulation
• Trauma-informed language and cueing
• Cultivating inclusivity
• Practice teaching
• Yoga and trauma-healing as social justice

This is Module 1 of the Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY) Foundational course. Ingrained in all TIY trainings is the understanding that systemic patterns of trauma, privilege, marginalization and oppression (such as poverty, racism, ableism, and homophobia among others) must be addressed in order to cultivate healing for all individuals. This philosophy is unpacked at-depth in Module 2.

Module 1 is open to people of all levels and all backgrounds; you do not need any specific training prior to attending, although we strongly recommend having a current yoga practice. We believe this training will be most helpful for yoga teachers, social workers, therapists, health care professionals, educators, community service personnel, and activists looking for tools to support sustainable healing from trauma and chronic stress.

What Can Yin Yoga Teach Us?
Yin Yoga is an ideal forum to explore both Eastern and Western approaches to the physical and energy bodies. It highlights the uniqueness -- as opposed to standardized “norms” -- of our bodies so that we can better understand our true potential for both movement and mindfulness. Yin classes may explore several avenues: myofascial patterning, stimulation of Chi meridians, preparation for meditation, nervous-system regulation.

How Will Yin Yoga Improve My Teaching Skills?
The Yin approach to anatomy empowers both newer and experienced teachers to move beyond rote verbal cues, by developing a sharper eye for different body types and a more spacious understanding of asana. Yin teachers learn how to create a meditative space that coaxes students to see beyond their habitual mental distractions, where most suffering originates.

______________________________________________

Yin Yoga is quickly becoming one of the most influential styles of yoga in the world. A much-needed counterbalance to Power or Vinyasa styles, Yin exercises our body and mind through longer, passive postures that apply gentle stress to our joint tissues via bodyweight and gravity.

Yin anatomy combines Eastern and Western perspectives by highlighting the unique potential – rather than standardized “norms” -- of our bodies. This course empowers teachers to move beyond rote verbal cues and “pretty” poses, by developing a sharper eye for different body types and a more spacious understanding of asana. We will learn how to develop a meditative classroom space that coaxes students to see beyond their habitual distractions, where most suffering originates.

In this 50-Hour Course, you will learn:
o Fundamental Yin Yoga Postures, Modifications, and Sequences
o Functional Anatomy Focused on Skeletal Variations, Proportions, and Connective-Tissue Research
o How To Understand Bodies, Instead of Memorizing Poses
o How To Integrate Mindfulness Into Asana and Meditation
o How To Integrate a Yin Approach Into Yang-style classes

A Senior International YogaWorks Teacher Trainer, David Kim (E-RYT500) teaches Yin Yoga in the style of his pioneering mentors Paul & Suzee Grilley. His ongoing anatomy studies include cadaver dissections with fascia pioneers Gil Hedley & Tom Myers, and research updates at international Fascia conferences and functional-movement workshops. David’s meditation practice is rooted in the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program.
