Yoga teachers have a special responsibility to handle all their interactions with students with great care. However, honing the special skill set required to work with students who have faced trauma requires a thorough understanding and special sensitivity of the unique needs of this community. As the number of veterans with trauma-related difficulties grows, so does the need for yoga teachers who understand these issues. Veterans Yoga Project offers an extraordinary opportunity for intensive training in a proven, mindful approach to teaching yoga to veterans and others who are recovering from posttraumatic stress and other trauma-related psychological difficulties. Join Dr. Daniel J. Libby as he shares the experiences that shaped the development of the Mindful Yoga Therapy for Recovery from Trauma program. In this three-day teacher training, we will explore: The development, course, and consequences of trauma-related disorders The psychotherapeutic treatment of trauma-related disorders and how Mindful Yoga Therapy fits into an integrative treatment approach Special considerations and cautions when providing yoga therapy to veterans and other trauma-affected individuals Specific practices, guiding principles, and resources found to be helpful for veterans coping with trauma, including a detailed treatment manual with an empirically-informed, clinically-tested 12-week protocol. The Veterans Yoga Project training consists of a balance of practice and lecture/discussion. At the end of the training, participants will understand the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related disorders, how those symptoms are related to underlying neurobiology, and how to use this understanding to most effectively teach mindful yoga therapy to veterans and active-duty military. $425 – sign up at www.villageyogachicago.com/workshops
