Designed for yoga teachers, current or aspiring yoga therapists, and therapists looking to add embodied practices to their client sessions.
Part One: Trauma-Informed Foundations Training
Part Two: Yoga Therapy Practice Immersion
Over the course of 35 hours, you will build your toolbox of trauma-informed and nervous-system-responsive embodiment skills for individuals and groups.
Part One: Foundations Training - A curated foundational study of nervous systems, adaptive human responses to stress and trauma, and best practices in trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness.
Part Two: Practice Immersion - Trainees will be immersed in yoga therapy skills practice, partner exchanges, deep embodied learning, self-study, and discussion.
Part One focuses on education via concepts and information, while Part Two focuses more on experiential, embodied learning. Working within your unique scope of professional practice, you will gain strategies to support nervous system regulation and embodied resilience, on and off the yoga mat.

TUITION:
In support of collective care, JPCY offers self determined Tiered Pricing. We are committed to addressing structural inequities that have historically existed in yoga spaces by creating a pricing model that makes yoga classes and professional skills trainings accessible to a wider range of students.
The Standard Rate reflects the market value for similar trainings in Boston. We ask those of you who can afford to invest in your learning at this price to do so - this pricing level contributes directly to the longevity of our small business and the livelihood of our teachers.
HOW TO CHOOSE A TIER:
-
Reflects an average market rate. It is intended for those who are able to support JPCY at the true cost of our offerings.
This tier is suited for people with a stable income and access to food, housing, and healthcare, the ability to build savings and afford leisure activities (dining, traveling, etc).
-
Provides a more comfortable option for anyone who cannot afford the standrard rate.
This tier is suited for people with unstable/reduced/low income that creates some stress about meeting basic needs.
-
Provides an even greater discount for those in need of greater financial assistance.
This tier is suited for people with unstable or inadequate income that sometimes prevents access to food, housing, and healthcare.
-
In support of diversifying yoga leadership, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color registering for this training have the option to use the discount code wellnessequity and save 50% off the Standard Rate
We don’t assume that all who identify as BIPOC require or want financial support to access yoga. For those who do, we see this as step we can take towards offering reparations within a healthcare system that has predominantly failed communities of color.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT:
We are sensitive to the economic realities of our times. For additional financial aid inquiries, please email alex@intrayogatherapy.com.
