Begin Your Journey as a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher!
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
Maybe you’ve felt the call to teach Yoga but don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re a healthcare professional, counselor, or spiritual caregiver wanting to integrate somatic practices into your work. Or maybe you simply know Yoga has helped you heal — and you’re ready to understand why so you can share it safely and effectively.
This program is for:
- Aspiring Yoga teachers seeking an internationally accredited 200-hour certification (200 RYT).
- Individuals on a personal growth or healing journey ready to deepen their understanding of Yoga.
- Wellness professionals and community leaders wanting to add trauma-informed movement to their toolkit.
- Anyone seeking a faith-integrated or traditional educational path within a safe, supportive environment!
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.
