Mindfulness and Level 1 Trauma Certification with Breathing Space Yoga and Yoga in Schools

Here's what our graduates are saying about the program:

A training that equips you with the tools to lead mindfulness practices in a way that fosters safety, connection & growth during these uncertain times.

The practice of mindfulness has become the popular resource for students managing stress and anxiety and for helping to regulate intense emotions.

This Level 1 Trauma-sensitive training is essential for anyone dealing with the rise in traumatized students or clients today, with a desire to gain better tools for skillfully supporting them.

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.
