The LIGHT Path: 200-hour Trauma and Grief Informed Yoga Teacher Training

This 200-hour yoga teacher training course prepares educators, helping professionals, and those interested in self-discovery to apply yoga-based and somatic practices ethically and skillfully to support personal resilience and student well-being. The course integrates classical yoga philosophy (Eight Limbs of Yoga) with contemporary trauma- and grief-informed frameworks, neuroscience, and inclusive pedagogy. Emphasis is placed on embodied self-regulation, co-regulation in learning environments, ethical scope of practice, and reflective professional integration.

At the end of the 230 hours (200 YTT + 30 CE,) you will have your yoga teacher certification PLUS 30 CE hours required for the first 3 years of being a yoga teacher.
