Yoga & Trauma 101 - November 8, 2025, 11a-1p

from $20.00

This introductory workshop invites both teachers and practitioners to explore the relationship between yoga and trauma through the lens of traditional yogic wisdom. Rather than layering Western psychology onto yoga, we will take a decolonized approach, rooted in the philosophy, practices, and language of yoga itself.

This workshop is for all practitioners and is designed to both inspire new practitioners and enrich the practices of experienced teachers. If you’re new to this topic, we highly recommend you start here. Teachers joining us for workshops throughout the weekend are especially encouraged to join us for the richest overall experiences.

Together, we’ll explore the yogic understanding of samskara, the imprints that condition our reactions to the world, and how these teachings outline a compassionate path for healing and recovery. Through guided practice, reflection, and discussion, we’ll develop an understanding on how focusing on the concentration and attention practices of yoga can become a vital part of the trauma healing process.

This course is facilitated by Jessie Horness, MA, LPC, E-RYT 200.

This workshop meets in person at The Phoenix Center in Ann Arbor, MI. Yoga teachers participating in this workshop will receive 2 Yoga Alliance CEUs.
