This training is Thorough!
The instructors delve deep into…read morethe researched science of all types of trauma and the researched healing modalities - how movement, breath and mindfulness can re-wire our minds and bodies.
From womb to adulthood, we humans experience trauma.
HOWEVER, over time, with regular practice, our bodies can come back to hope, healing & self-Love. As teachers, clinicians, healers, therapists and pastors, we can assist, make space for and witness the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual recovery from childhood trauma (ACE), PTSD, and all cycles of trauma.
In this perfectly timed-out, thoughtfully sequenced 20 hour training (CEUs are so useful) the impressive expertise, massive research experience, vulnerability, humility, personal testimonies, and passion of the 5 highly inspirational teachers in WE RISE YOGA are helping to raise an army of educated, empowered, embodied healers.
Modalities of Yoga covered - Vinyasa for Recovery, Chair Yoga for all ages and populations, Kids Yoga, therapeutic breathing techniques (and WHY they are effective).
And what I call "Soul Care for Care-Givers."
"Vicarious trauma" AKA "Secondary Trauma" AKA "Compassion Fatigue" AKA "Burn-Out" is real!
The honest prescription of
Embodied Mindful Self-Care (AKA "take myself on a Date") and the revolutionary "Helpers Bill of Rights" was my absolute favorite discussion.
I recommend this training for ANYONE in Recovery (AA, NA OA, CODA, ALAnon, GA, ACoA), Ministry leaders, Care pastors, Kids Pastors, Educators of any grade, Nurses, Physical Therapists, School Councilors, Social Workers, MFTs, Drug and Alcohol Recovery Practitioners, MDs, Corrections Facility Workers, Eating Disorder Therapists, Yoga Teachers, & always Yoga Students!
I am a Christian Holy Yoga Teacher,
Licensed Massage Therapist and survivor of layers of trauma who struggles with codependency, PTSD, clinical depression, suicidal ideation, and I've been set free from a 19 year addiction to porn.
God shines healing light through my brokenness where he is continually healing and renewing me.
I am His living testimony of Resurrection.
All for his Glory.
And TOGETHER WE RISE!
This weekend was a divine appointment for transformation, with eye-opening science based research and incredible instructors. There is a bond and community now with my fellow trainees and teachers for a lifetime.
These connections and community are so life-affirming.
I can not recommend this training enough.
