Transcript

welcome to atlas yoga studio and school and the atlas informed yoga teacher training program we're very excited our plan is to launch this fall and the information i'll be here on the web page and just wanted to share a little bit about what we're excited about and mostly it's the evolution of trauma-informed training that's important to us and getting together with you and sharing our ideas about it and the collegiality that goes on it's not just yoga teachers sharing with yoga students but it's yoga teachers all coming together to talk about important issues and evolve this particular aspect of what it is that we do and we're hoping there'll be yoga teachers yoga therapists family counselors other people who work in embodied practices like body workers and educators it is really an important program that i think can serve many people and we really think that this program is a little bit different it is coming at the training from the model of the koshas of understanding our layers of beingness the anemia kosher pranamaya manamaya vegeta mayan genomia the anandamaya we'll talk a little bit in the program too about the um demayokosha that core seed sense of self and relating that to all of the different ways of understanding trauma and there'll be opportunities to experience some of the techniques come together and work in groups and explore how the techniques land with different friends with your colleagues and we will have interesting ways to be in communication so there of course it's optional as well so if you don't want to talk to other people about your experiences you certainly don't have to and what else is that we're excited about i mean this is a really unique cutting edge program and it's our hope that the program will continue to evolve the first time that we run it we're going to be running it live online and if anyone would like to be in person they're welcome to be here in person for the programming as well and in the future we'll be recording all of those sessions so that you can consume this course asynchronistically and you'll get plugged into groups that are are doing a course we'll also be running a teacher training at the end of it for those who think they might like to facilitate a course like that we can talk more about that when the time comes i hope that you're going to join us you still have some time to sign up and register for the course and we really want to think about how this course can help us to transform how yoga is perceived and taught in the world and get techniques to a variety of different places so more people can access the tools the language and the pedagogy of caring and transformation that we intend to share with you in the coming weeks have a great day look forward to talking to you soon jump in and let us know if you have any questions
