A Year of Becoming: HEAL 200 Hour Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training

Every body in the room carries a story. HEAL's hybrid yoga teacher training prepares you to teach from regulation, safety and compassion, whether you're called to classrooms, holistic practices, wellness centers or your own community.

Your training unfolds over a full turn of the seasons. Begin with self paced online modules, gather with your cohort for a five day Opening Retreat in October 2027, deepen your practice through monthly live mentorship circles, and return for a Closing Retreat in October 2028 where you complete your Teaching Practicum and graduate.

1. Teacher first, student second, asana third

2. Self regulation before holding space

3. Language that honors boundaries

4. Developing bodily intelligence

5. Yoga as action plus reflection

6. Breath leads, body follows, mind observes

7. Teacher neutrality

• Roots: yoga history, philosophy and ethics (30 hours, online)

• Anatomy: functional anatomy for yoga teachers (30 hours, online)

• Pranayama: breath work, meditation and nervous system regulation (30 hours, online)

• Asana: trauma sensitive asana, sequencing and class structure (30 hours, Opening Retreat)

• Trauma Informed and Somatics: consent based language and somatic practice (30 hours, Opening Retreat plus live circles)

• Teaching Practicum: community teaching, feedback and the business of teaching (50 hours, community hours plus Closing Retreat)

Both retreats take place in Utah, in the mountains or red rock desert, timed with Utah school fall break. Each includes shared lodging, meals, workshops and adventure. Locations are announced at least six months in advance.

Partial ($475) and full ($950) retreat scholarships are available through our Future Teachers Fund. Visit healyogastudio.com/ytt to apply, or add a gift to the fund at checkout to support a future teacher.

Our curriculum follows Yoga Alliance standards, but HEAL is not currently a Registered Yoga School. Graduates earn the HEAL 200 Hour Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher certification.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

We know life doesn't always go as planned. This policy is designed to be fair to you and to protect the cohort, our staff and the commitments we make to retreat venues on your behalf.

Deposit: The $500 deposit is non refundable, but it can be transferred once to a future HEAL cohort.

Cancelling before the Opening Retreat:

• More than 90 days before the Opening Retreat: all payments except the deposit can be refunded provided no online modules have been accessed.

• 90 days or less before the Opening Retreat: payments are not refundable, but they can be applied as a credit to the next cohort.

After the Opening Retreat begins: Tuition and retreat payments are not refundable. Online modules you've started remain yours to complete.

Closing Retreat: If you can't attend the Closing Retreat, you may complete your Teaching Practicum at the next cohort's Closing Retreat at no extra tuition cost. Lodging and meals for that retreat are paid at the current rate.

Deferral: Each student may defer to the next cohort once, at no charge, with written notice before the Opening Retreat.

Payment plans: If an installment is more than 30 days late and we haven't heard from you, your spot may be released. Please reach out early; we're always willing to talk through options.

If HEAL cancels or reschedules: If we must cancel a retreat, you will receive a full refund of that retreat's payments or a credit toward a rescheduled date, your choice.

Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
