Masterclass: Trauma in Yoga with Dr. Stephanie Minchin

From the body to the mat, and what this means for Teachers

You are invited to join Steph (The Yoga Psychologist; House of Yoga Psychology) for a half-day workshop on trauma for Yoga Teachers. As awareness in mental health and trauma grows, it is essential that yoga teachers have a sound knowledge base of what trauma is, what it looks like, how it may present in yoga class and how to respond sensitively in support of the yogis you teach.

Steph will support your learning of trauma, through the sharing of education, reflective writing exercises, group discussions and experiential embodied yoga therapy practice.

This workshop is suitable for yoga teachers interested in and passionate about yoga for mental health and healing, possibly considering further training in yoga therapy and integrated yoga and psychology approaches, wanting to expand their knowledge and awareness of trauma and willing to engage in reflective and educational discussions, and experience a trauma-informed yoga therapy practice to embed learning through the body.

Do wear comfortable clothing, bring a notebook and pen, and be ready and open to learn!

About Dr. Stephanie Minchin:

Dr Stephanie Minchin, aka The Yoga Psychologist and Founder of House of Yoga Psychology, is a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist, Yoga Therapist and Yoga Teacher with over 15 years of experience working in mental health. Steph’s dharma and calling is to guide people in the union of body and mind practices on a journey of embodiment, education and empowerment, integrating yoga and psychology for personal healing, professional development, training and education. Steph has authored several articles, research papers and a book chapter and co-founded the MoreMind project with MoreYoga. As a trainer and educator, Steph lectures for The Minded Institute, the UK’s leading Yoga Therapy school, and regularly delivers trainings and consultations to organizations nationwide.

Steph says, “Yoga was my therapy; before I was able to put words to my experience. As I journeyed through the worlds of yoga teaching and clinical psychology I understood the essence of both as healing, through a process of self-inquiry and inner transformation. For me, the parallel between sharing psychological therapy and yoga with others was about ‘holding space’ and inviting inner connection to understand oneself. Both yoga and psychology have supported me to become more grounded, mindful and self-compassionate, with an approach of acceptance and gratitude each day.”

Steph weaves in wisdom from yogic philosophy and psychology, integrating eastern principles into our western living as she advocates for the healing powers of yoga and psychology for a calm mind, strong body and open heart.
