Trauma-informed Yoga Training in Seattle – April 15-17th

street yoga

 

Dear friends, 

We are excited to offer a Trauma-Informed Yoga Training in SEATTLE, WA April 15-17th, 2016!

Street Yoga offers a curriculum that trains service professionals and yogis alike to safely introduce the ancient practice of yoga and mindfulness to today’s youth facing real-life struggles. The tools to overcome early life trauma come from the sharing of life-building mindfulness and wellness practices that we dive into and immerse ourselves in during this training. We work together to understand how to help youth create a sense of true home in their own bodies, minds and communities.

Our trainer, Katie Okun, will offer an inspiring training that will meet you where you are at, and help you activate your personal plan towards starting a trauma-informed yoga for youth program with the population that you are interested in serving.

Our host for the weekend will be Ryther Child Center. We are proud to be partnering with this great studio for an exciting weekend of learning! Special thanks to our community partners — 8 Limbs Yoga Centers, Seattle Yoga Arts and Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets — for their support in bringing this training back to Seattle.  Limited spaces are available. SIGN UP HERE.

Training Schedule:

4/15 * Friday: 5:30pm-9:30pm
4/16 * Saturday: 10:00am-4:00pm
4/17 * Sunday: 10:00am-4:00pm

The training is dynamic, participatory and fun.

Our training is NASW approved for Continuing Education Contact Hours for social workers.

Yoga teachers may receive Yoga Alliance continuing education credits.

You do not need to be a registered yoga teacher for the training, but basic yoga knowledge and experience are important.

See you there!
