Watch Irina Diyankova, Ph.D., RYT-200, for an indepth training on the principles and practices of trauma-informed yoga, with a special focus on chair yoga practices, yogic breathing exercises, and yoga nidra, the yogic sleep. This workshop also incorporates techniques and theory from trauma studies, somatic psychotherapy and ayurveda. During this program, you will learn the importance of nervous-system regulation to the process of psychological healing.
