I know through personal experience and through witnessing colleagues the toll that this work can take. This impacts not only work but also affects our personal lives causing stress, carer burnout, relational stress, lack of motivation, brain fog and loss of joy in life.
Women are
often considered to be biologically driven to be caring and nuturing and are therefore often not acknolwegded for this resultant burnout, often feeling guilt and shame for being emotionally exhausted.
As a Clinician, Yoga Teacher, Doctor, Nurse, Teacher or Human Service Worker we come across people who have suffered trauma on a very regular basis. This training will give you the tools to support support yourself whilst undertaking the work of caring for the traumas of others, in doing this work we inevitably experience vicarious trauma and compassion fatique.
In caring for others, and taking on the struggles of the world, we need to learn to make caring for ourselves a priority.
Self care is not a luxury, its a necessity
““In working with complex trauma, the most important factor in the sustainability of our energy is how much attention we pay to maintaining a healthy and intuitive ‘self”.””
In this 20 hour course you will:
Learn how to care for ‘Self’ whilst caring for others.
Make sense of our belief systems and roles we play as carers personally and professionally.
Understand the impact of Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue

What our participants are saying
Who is this training course designed for?
Yoga Teachers and yoga teachers in training who are interested in expanding their teaching skills and developing more confidence in working with students / clients who suffer from trauma and mental health difficulties. Yoga teachers will develop a much deeper understanding of the concepts of Yoga Psychology and it’s capacity to empower students by providing safe and inclusive yoga practices with awareness.
Mental Health Professionals who are interested in bringing the body into treatment. There is now a significant body of evidence that has seen a marriage between yoga and Psychology. Neuroscience has shown that the mind and body are intrinsically linked and that trauma resides in the body. It has been my experience that when clients learn to befriend and trust their body, the capacity for clients to engage in therapy in a much safer and satisfying way is achieved. Yoga engages the nervous system teaching distress tolerance by balancing the nervous system, enhancing opportunities for neuroplasticity to occur by moving and breathing in a community setting with intention and on purpose.
Wellbeing professionals who are interested in the mind body connection and working in a holistic way towards healing and recovery.
Students of Yoga who are interested in further and deepening their knowledge in the context of ‘self’, working on their own journey towards total wellbeing and personal discovery.
Teachers, nurses, first responders and all human service workers who come into contact with students/ patients who are distressed and overwhelmed and require significant support and containment. This course will give you the confidence to use grounding and stabilising techniques by using the body, breath and awareness of how the brain responds to anxiety.
