Learn the tools & scientific knowledge you need to respond to your clients and community in a trauma-informed way.

  • Do you know what to do when a client gets stuck in a trauma response during a yoga class you’re teaching?
  • Do you know how to support your coaching clients in a trauma-informed way?
  • Do you want to bring yoga into your therapy sessions but feel stuck to your chair?
  • Are you an exhausted health care provider in need of new tools to support your patients and yourself?

There is a way through…

Introducing Trauma-Informed Yoga for Wellness Practitioners, a LIVE, 3-week in-depth immersive experience designed specifically to help coaches, therapists, yoga teachers, and health care professionals to transcend trauma through yoga and embodied healing practices.

How It Works

We’ll meet for eight, 2-hour sessions. All sessions will be recorded for those unable to attend live.

Every live session includes:

  • Curriculum (delivered lecture-style) covering: The neurobiology of trauma, trauma-informed care, yoga philosophy, and somatic-skills for healing
  • Interactive Q&A and group discussion
  • A guided 30-minute yoga or embodiment practice to experience the concepts you’re learning throughout the program
  • Breakout groups with specific reflection and connection exercises to further solidify program concepts, connect with other practitioners from around the world, and build community.
  • You'll also receive access to Lisa’s new Audiobook of Yoga for Trauma Recovery

In-between sessions you’ll have access to a Facebook Group to connect, share your reflections, ask questions, and receive support as you complete the program.

Program Curriculum:

**All sessions take place 12-2pm Pacific/3:00-5:00 PM Eastern and will be recorded.**

If you dedicate and practice and experience Lisa's knowledge you will learn so much more about yourself. There is so much more beyond the technical part. It has made me more safe and I feel more whole.

This is a very accessible program that provides you with tools you will use for a lifetime, not just for your clients, but for you. And that's actually the most important part. If we aren't keeping ourselves regulated we cannot help others find self-regulation.

I joined this program to learn how to bring yoga into trauma survivors' lives in a safe and loving way. Every module had pieces that I’ve incorporated into my life! Yoga instructors, anyone in the mental health and healing field would benefit from joining this program. If you’re considering enrolling in Y4T do it!

Meet Your Trainer

Lisa Danylchuk, LMFT, E-RYT, IAYT

Lisa Danylchuk, LMFT, E-RYT, is a licensed psychotherapist and founder of The Center for Yoga and Trauma Recovery. A graduate of UCLA and Harvard University, her work has pioneered the field of trauma-informed yoga and transformed our understanding of embodiment practices in therapeutic work. More than 400 providers from 32+ countries have completed Lisa’s Yoga for Trauma (Y4T) Online Training Program, the first virtual program to train providers offering trauma-informed yoga.

Lisa currently serves as President for the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. Her books include Embodied Healing: Using Yoga to Recover from Trauma and Extreme Stress (2015), How You Can Heal: A Strength Based Guide to Trauma Recovery (2017), and most recently Yoga for Trauma Recovery: Theory, Philosophy, and Practice (2019). She is also a contributing editor for the Best Practices for Yoga for Veterans, published by the Yoga Service Council.

Lisa lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. When she’s not writing or teaching, you’ll likely find her running trails in nearby parks or snuggling with her two dogs, Iris and Bumi.

I am grateful for Lisa's teaching, and for the work I have done through this course. Lisa is a gifted teacher. Her thinking is well organized, grounded in interdisciplinary research and theory, which she has clearly integrated into her thinking and into her own life. She brings an ability to communicate to a diverse group of others, using direct, concise language. She communicates, with grace and compassion, that grace and compassion for self and others are the foundations of our work! She offers graphics that are focused and enhanced the key ideas of each week's lesson...and doing all this on-line!! In addition, she brings her grounded self to the work and offers a delightful sense of fun and play as she shares, in a balanced way, both the difficult and joyful truth of life experiences.
