Join us for a Live Webinar on March 7, 2025 from 11am-6pm EST

Trauma can linger long after the precipitating event, often hidden within the body and surfacing as persistent stress and discomfort. By integrating mindful, accessible yoga into clinical settings, you can help clients regulate their nervous systems and reclaim their sense of safety, agency, and well-being.
The need for a practical, evidence-based method to address trauma’s physiological components continues to grow. Consider this a unique invitation to join colleagues in learning simple yet powerful yoga-based practices that can transform your client outcomes.
"Trauma-Informed Accessible Yoga Practices for Clinicians: Enhancing Recovery Through Nervous System Regulation" is one of three courses that compromise the Yoga-Based Clinical Interventions Training Certificate (YCIC) program. Enroll in the discounted full program and earn 24 total CEs and the YCIC.
