Ayurveda & Trauma - November 9, 2025, 11a-1p

from $30.00

Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science, offers timeless tools for balance and resilience, insights especially valuable for yoga teachers supporting students navigating trauma. In this workshop, we will explore the three gunas - sattva (clarity), rajas (activity), and tamas (inertia) - and how they shape the mind, body, and daily life. Through guided discussion and experiential practices, you’ll learn to recognize the gunas within yourself and your teaching, and explore ways to cultivate balance through simple, accessible tools from Ayurveda and yoga. We’ll also connect these skills to trauma-supportive teaching, highlighting how cultivating balance, awareness, and grounding can help you hold space with steadiness and compassion.

This course is guest instructed by experienced yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Health Coach Danielle DePompei, with instruction on trauma-supportive teaching provided 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.
