“You simply can’t go wrong with any of SoulWork’s offerings, they’re so nourishing to the soul. I have been searching for an authentic meditation program for awhile. Something that’s from a lineage that has roots which is actually more rare than you would assume. This was it! I feel confident and proud about sharing this medicine with others.”
- Dusah
“I have participated in several training with Soulwork and I loved them all. This course very very grounded and the knowledge was transmitted in a beautiful, loving and super clear way that was easy to understand and practice. The portion on how to teach these techniques to others was really well structured, clear and concise but also very complete and easy to understand. I will most certainly do another course with Soulwork.”
— Piroska

A 200 hr is recommended, but not required. This is a course in Trauma Theory and on how to best support those you serve with skill + integrity. We will not be covering the basics of yoga asana techniques.
You need to complete a 200 hr to be able to offer a Trauma Informed Yoga Class. However, if you are not a yoga teacher but want to take this course for your own personal and professional development, you will be able to utilize these teachings to enhance the work you are already doing in the world.
