Community Outreach: Trauma Informed Yoga & Mindfulness

This two-day professional development intensive is designed to equip teachers and practitioners with the practical tools to bring yoga and mindfulness into their local community. Moving beyond personal practice, participants will engage in a systematic process of identifying specific populations and local organizations who may benefit from yoga and mindfulness programming.

Through a curriculum rooted in evidence-based research and the ethics of service, attendees will formulate a comprehensive proposal detailing offerings, methodologies, and program structures. This training culminates in pitch presentations and simulated "outreach calls," allowing participants to practice their delivery and refine their message in a supportive environment.

By the end of this two-day session, instructors and advocates will leave with a completed research-backed proposal and the practical confi dence to initiate impactful partnerships within their local communities.

The fly and the cheetah.

Nobody told me I would stay stuck so long. If I hadn’t known about nervous system regulation through trauma informed mindfulness, I would probably still be stuck there. The mud and the muck.

The pause is the epiphany

The changes over the past year, personally and collectively, leave me with more questions than answers. I have even more awareness of my “not knowingness” (avidya).

The pause is the epiphany.

You can’t grow through the process of change without patience.

An applied understanding of nervous system regulation and mindfulness meditation has allowed me to survive - even thrive - during difficult times.

I am ready to share this with you.

What is Trauma?

What is Trauma is a blog post written by Amy Osborne, a yogi who has extensively studied yoga and, more specifically, its effects on those who have experienced trauma. In this blog, Amy defines trauma and goes into detail about the effects yoga can have in terms of fighting the negative psychological, physiological, and neurological impacts of trauma. Amy also explains that the instructors at In Yoga Collective have a wealth of experience that allows them to go above and beyond to create a space for healing and de-stressing.
