Explore how process-based teaching can deepen your capacity to support others. Drawing from yoga’s wisdom on human change and Western psychology’s insights into trauma recovery, this four-week course examines approaches for cultivating trauma-supportive skills and experiences in every class you teach.

With a focus on teaching at the level of lived experience, you’ll explore specific trauma recovery processes and learn how to weave them into class design and instruction - so your teaching supports regulation, agency, and meaningful integration.

This four-week course explores the vocational heart of trauma-supportive teaching, inviting the self-development required to hold space with care and integrity. Grounded in the understanding that trauma-supportive teaching is shaped less by what we teach and more by who and how we are in the room, the course centers meaningful self-inquiry and personal growth.

Together, we’ll engage in deep exploration of power, ethics, process, and consent, building the awareness and capacity needed to navigate complex classroom dynamics. Facilitated by a licensed professional counselor and experienced yoga teacher, the course offers a supportive, relational space to resource yourself - both as a human being and as a teacher.
