Refine, Deepen, and Transform Your Practice with our
Advanced 125 HR YACEP Trauma-Informed Yoga Certification
Transform your life and others’ through evidence-based, heart-centered Yoga.
Learn to teach with confidence, safety, and presence — in a program that nurtures your growth from the inside out.
Who It's For
Our Advanced 125-Hour YACEP Certification is designed for certified Yoga teachers (200 RYT required) who want focused, advanced training to deepen their skills without pursuing a full 500 RYT pathway.
This specialty program is ideal for:
- Teachers feeling called to learn our trauma-informed method to more confidently and responsibly support students in trauma-recovery or high-stress environments.
- Teachers who desire stronger teaching foundations. Including, clearer cueing, ARC sequencing, embodied presence, and more confidence in leading classes and workshops.
- 500 RYTs looking to expand their offerings as YACEP providers.
- Anyone who knows Yoga has profoundly shaped their own healing and wants to understand more about the deeper principles behind its transformative impact.
Important Note:
This program does not count toward the 500 RYT credential. If you are a 200 RYT with the goal of becoming a 500 RYT, we recommend our Advanced 30- HR RYT Trauma-Informed YTT program.
The POGYI Method
At Pointe of Grace Yoga Institute, our unique POGYI Method forms the backbone of every course we teach.
This evidence-based framework blends trauma theory, neuroscience, and Yoga philosophy to help teachers create experiences that support the nervous system and cultivate lasting resilience.
Through the POGYI Method, you'll learn to:
- Use Trauma-Informed cueing that builds safety and agency.
- Guide with embodied presence instead of performance.
- Use ARC sequencing to restore balance and trust in the body.
- Apply this approach to Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Chair Yoga practices.
By the end, you won't just know how to teach, you'll embody what it means to hold healing space.
