If you would like to enroll in this training\, please visit the Foundational Training course description page. \n\nObjective: understand and experience interoceptive awareness and explore personal and social identity through interoceptive awareness. \nThis workshop will begin with a short practice emphasizing awareness of sensations within your body to introduce a fundamental concept of trauma-informed yoga\, interoception\, literally looking inward. The workshop will build on the experience of interoceptive awareness to explore identity from an embodied perspective through a unique take on the classic “Circles of Myself” activity. We’ll share how we experience our intersecting identities through our bodies and how we experience privilege and oppression. We’ll connect our personal experiences to implicit bias and systemic oppression. We’ll reflect on how our collective insight gained through these activities and discussion informs how we offer yoga and mindfulness for incarcerated people.

If you would like to enroll in this training\, please visit the Foundational Training course description page. \n\nObjective: learn how to communicate the function of the nervous system in an easy-to-understand and experiential way. \nThis workshop explores yoga practice as a set of tools that allow us to engage in a conversation with our nervous system.

We’ll also practice communicating this in an accessible way as we would when offering practices in a prison\, jail\, or other similar settings.

Throughout the weekend\, participants will actively facilitate foundational sequences\, receive mentorship and feedback from experienced faculty and peers\, and learn how to thoughtfully adapt movement\, breathwork\, and mindfulness practices for diverse populations and settings. \nTogether we’ll explore: \n\nTrauma-informed facilitation methodology\nNervous system regulation and embodied mindfulness\nAccessible sequencing and adaptable movement\nBreath practices and interoceptive awareness\nYoga philosophy through the lens of healing and restorative justice\nInclusive language\, choice\, and participant agency\nPractical facilitation skills through peer practice and mentorship\n\nThe curriculum centers around Prison Yoga Project’s foundational eight-week introductory sequence—a progressive framework also taught within the PYP Yoga Teacher Training—which provides facilitators with practical tools that can be modified to support incarcerated communities\, recovery programs\, behavioral health settings\, schools\, healthcare environments\, veterans\, older adults\, and community-based offerings. \nRather than learning one “correct” way to facilitate a class\, this training develops the skills to thoughtfully respond to the people in front of you. \nParticipants leave with practical resources\, adaptable facilitation tools\, ongoing reference materials\, and greater confidence to facilitate yoga in ways that are accessible\, healing-centered\, and responsive to the lived experiences of the communities they serve.
