Mindfulness, Trauma and Students' Wellbeing

What many people don't realize, is that mindfulness can also worsen issues related to traumatic stress and trigger traumatic memories.

We live in a time where we must be trauma informed, and this certification will give you tools to teach mindfulness and yoga from a trauma-informed perspective.

Research has shown that yoga and mindfulness help students to make healthier lifestyle choices, become more skillful in relationships, and control their impulses, while supporting their learning.
