Trauma Responsive Mind-Body Wellness & SEL YTT

The Rituals for Recovery Healing Arts Institute (HAI) invites you to attend our 200 hour “Trauma Responsive Mind-Body Wellness” (TRMBW™) & SEL Yoga Teacher training.

Unlike other 200-hour Teacher Trainings, our program is designed to elevate instructors into trauma responsive educators, trainers or community leaders in social change.

Our program uses a theoretical and empirically grounded approach, based on the body of trauma and yoga literature to support the effective and safe provision of trauma informed yoga, somatic healing and SEL to potentially vulnerable populations. Participants will learn the practice of yin and restorative yoga and will be prepared to teach classes through a trauma informed lens to adults and youth looking to develop a sustainable practice focused on post traumatic growth and the art of wellbeing.

In addition, Mental Health First Aid is an inclusive part of our program training and a prerequisite for our course participants to graduate. 

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis. MHFA is a certified program from the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
