At Project Yoga, we recognize trauma's profound and far-reaching effects on individuals and communities. We are committed to offering trauma-informed yoga instruction throughout all our programs, ensuring a safe and supportive space for healing.
According to the National Center for PTSD, approximately 6 in 10 men (60%) and 5 in 10 women (50%) will experience at least one trauma in their lifetime. Child abuse and neglect are also widespread, with at least 1 in 7 children in the U.S. having experienced abuse or neglect within the past year (CDC, May 2024). Given these statistics, it is likely that most yoga classes will include trauma survivors, especially in the underserved communities where Project Yoga operates in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Trauma-informed yoga is specifically designed to create a safe, supportive environment for individuals who have experienced trauma. Our instructors are trained to be sensitive to the unique needs of trauma survivors, fostering an experience that prioritizes safety, choice, and empowerment. This approach integrates mindfulness, breathwork, and movement to support healing.
This two-day training, hosted at Mint Yoga Studio in Fort Thomas, KY, provides comprehensive trauma education and SEL (social-emotional learning)-based trauma-informed yoga instruction. Participants will engage in hands-on training, group work, and practical applications, and upon completion, will receive a book and certificate.
