9: Yoga Therapy & Trauma Informed Work: Insights from My Mentor at the Yoga Therapy Institute

In this conversation, I sit down with my mentor from The Yoga Therapy Institute to explore the deeper layers of yoga therapy and trauma-informed work.
We explore the following topics:
My mentor’s personal journey into yoga therapy
What yoga therapy really is (and how it differs from a yoga class)
How trauma-informed approaches integrate into yoga therapy
The educational work The Yoga Therapy Institute does worldwide
How you can take the next steps if you feel called to this path
As many of you know, I’m currently in the process of completing my 875HR Yoga Therapy Diploma Course with The Yoga Therapy Institute, and it’s been a life-changing journey. This interview offers a rare glimpse into the philosophy and mission behind this work, and why it matters so much for the future of yoga, healing, and community care.
Whether you’re a yoga teacher, a dedicated practitioner, or simply curious about yoga therapy and trauma-informed practices, I hope this conversation inspires and informs you.
