We will explore how trauma impacts the brain and body while simultaneously looking at how systemic and institutionalized patterns of trauma and structural violence are at the root of social justice issues such as poverty, racism, ableism, and homophobia, among many others.

Through a socio-political framework we look at the conditioning that creates and reinforces supremacist systems of oppression and inequality. We will also reflect on, and unpack, our individual locations in these systems. This is vital for yoga teachers and any space holder to do in order to truly serve their students.

Yoga & Social Justice draws on principles that call for union, truth, and work towards liberation for all. Throughout the training we use practices of yoga, embodiment, and mindfulness as tools to bear witness to and build capacity for transforming the trauma of our socially unjust society, rather than simply as a means to spiritually bypass them. We also teach how to use these regulation practices as a means to build greater resilience and to support healing and transformation within ourselves, our students, and our communities.

YSJ covers:

• How trauma impacts individuals and communities
• Social justice basics- what is it and how does it impact all of us?
• Strength and resilience in marginalized communities
• Connections between yoga, trauma, oppression and resilience
• Intersectionality
• How identity, positionality, privilege, and marginalization impacts us
• Harm reduction in yoga and other healing spaces
• Specific tools for teaching more inclusively
• How to show up as a teacher with students in various settings and with different identities and experiences
• Ways to use our practice and teaching to create social change

Polyvagal Facilitation (PF) for Inclusion, Compassion & Social Justice (Module 3 in Collective Resilience’s certification sequence) will hone participants’ understanding of attachment theory, the Polyvagal system, systems of privilege & oppression, compassion for self and others, as well as nervous system regulation and how it can be used to cultivate a greater sense of safety for individuals and groups. 

Through these lenses, the training will explore barriers to inclusion for specific people & populations - including BIPOC communities, LGBTQIA+ folks, disabled folks, and larger-bodied folks, among others - and how to facilitators can minimize those barriers in their own teaching.

PF covers:

• Embodied understanding of the Polyvagal system
• Reading and working with nervous system states in self and students
• Attachment theory and co-regulation skills
• Relationship between attachment theory, Polyvagal system, and systemic oppression
• Yoga philosophy to support inclusion, compassion, and co-regulation
• Disability justice as a framework for trauma-informed teaching
• LGBTQIA+ competent language and teaching
  
  

Through discussion, lecture, small & large group work, and case studies, participants will learn, explore, and practice specific trauma-informed yoga facilitation tools necessary for creating compassionate, welcoming spaces that break down barriers.
