Trauma Informed Yoga | LIVESTREAM

"I feel like I can understand myself and others more deeply, specifically how trauma might affect the way someone acts, their alarm systems in the brain and their subsequent behaviour. "

"It helped understand that trauma is multi-layered and not always noticeable. And that my approach to language and touch can have a profound impact. "

"I now understand that I've naturally been embodying a trauma informed style, but I didn't before have the language to name how I was teaching. Meeting and learning from Ellie was a transformative experience. I now feel like I have the ability to bring yoga to wider groups of people and truly make a difference. "

" Ellie was fantastic - honest, grounded and clearly an expert in her field yet extremely approachable, too The course content included a great balance between modern scientific research/knowledge around trauma, tied in with traditional yoga philosophy-plus the practical teaching methodology!"

"There couldn’t have been someone better to lead the course than Ellie, I learned so much from her and now feel much better equipped to bring yoga to a wide range of people. ."

"You really go into the science of why we have trauma in the first place, where it is stored in the body, how to use movement and awareness to take back a sense of control and emotional regulation."

"On my handbook during the course, I noticed that I write, this is my world . Deeply informative, practical and affirming. It’s of course TIY, but what spoke to me loudly was that this is how yoga should be taught as an informed, caring, professional practitioner. It felt counter culture and I’m excited to see where this field delves into the following years. Thank you for sharing this important knowledge and teaching complex ideas in such grounded language.”

“What a truly inspiring course delivered by a truly inspiring teacher. Ellie held the space so beautifully. The content of the course I feel is essential for every yoga teacher .”

“this course has wildly exceeded my expectations in how empowering and inspiring it has been to practically take our learning into the world. You talked a lot today about our great work but you are doing such amazing work and I wanted to thank you for it!”

“I’m so, so happy I’ve taken part in this course. Our supportive group provided a safe place to share doubts, experiences and dreams. Ellie is a natural teacher, passing information over with patience, clarity and detail. More importantly, she encouraged us along the way, giving us clear indications on how to use our passion and ideas. I come to the end of it with more questions than at the beginning (which is a good sign of learning!), the will and determination to learn always more, and the confidence that I have the tools to create something beautiful.”

“Ellie Grace from start to finish was absolutely fantastic. She created a welcoming environment and provided us with comfort and space when we were battling with our own challenges. Ellie provided detailed resources in a variety of different mediums. Ellie is very knowledgeable and shared her experiences working within a variety of different group settings. I loved Ellie’s approach and ethics regarding her teachings and enjoyed the sense of community she created. I am very excited taking the knowledge gained on the course into my community.”

“The trauma-informed yoga training with Ellie was such a special experience. Ellie brings so much warmth and enthusiasm to her teaching, and has a knack for being able to make the overwhelming topics feel accessible. I really loved that she also included modules for self-care as yoga teachers, topics that aren’t spoken about near enough, and did so in an insightful and empowering way. I’m so grateful to Ellie for creating a cosy and supportive container for us all to pursue our unique paths together, and to feel confident to go out into the world and make a real impact with this important work!”

“It’s really motivated me to follow my heart and focus my teaching on the areas that I feel really passionate about. I’d been thinking about how I could capture the essence of what I do and how I teach, and the course has really helped me to refine and understand my USP more clearly.”

“I felt a spark deeply ignite inside as we engaged in the material on this course and learnt more about how trauma affects the mind and body and ways in which we can alleviate this. I am even more passionate now about taking this work into the community around me. Ellie delivered the information in a loving and compassionate way, allowing us to pause and reflect or ask questions as they organically came up. Her knowledge and experience is what brings this course alive and the support of the group helps to make this a really special learning journey.”

“Ellie is a gifted teacher with an ability to guide through such an expansive topic with such depth and grace. This Trauma Informed Yoga course has really helped inform the direction of my continued studies. Ellie’s training, teaching and expertise in this field has been deeply impactful and insightful. A fascinating course that felt like connecting the dots to see the picture that was right there in front of you. A brilliant reawakening."

“I joined the training hoping to meet a like-minded community and further deepen my academic and practical understanding of trauma and anxiety, to be able to bring yoga to those living with these challenges. I received this in abundance and just so much more besides. Ellie’s knowledge is founded and deep - she has quite simply done the work and shares it with such grace and generosity. Her fascination with the brain and the neuroscience of trauma really clicked with me and equipped me with not just practical knowledge, but the clinical and scientific ‘why’. For me, this is so important. But the icing on the cake was her focus on our value as teachers - she coached us through reflection, meditation and chat into a space where we began to understand our unique value as individuals serving society, creating a warm and welcoming community where support flowed. It is this, coupled with her academic acumen and warm inclusive nature as a person, that stands this mentorship among the best training I have ever done”
