Why Trauma-Informed Training Matters

Yoga is more than movement; it’s a pathway to healing, awareness, and connection.

Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that every student brings a unique story into the room. Through an understanding of the nervous system, stress response, and adaptive teaching, you’ll learn how to guide practices that feel safe, supportive, and truly impactful.

This is Yoga designed to meet people where they are and help them move forward with greater resilience and agency

You’ll learn:

  • The science and impact trauma has on someone's body and mind
  • To offer cues that rebuild the mind-body connection through interoception and proprioception
  • To modify postures for different levels of regulation, experience, and abilities 
  • To create sequences that complete stress cycles
  • To teach in a way that builds trust, agency, and resilience

This isn’t an add-on. It’s the foundation of everything we do.

If This Resonates, You're in the Right Place

If you’re drawn to Yoga as a tool for meaningful impact, this next level of training is designed for you.

This program is especially aligned for:

  • Certified Yoga teachers ready to deepen their knowledge and teaching
  • Non-profit leaders and ministry professionals expanding their use of somatic practices
  • Clinicians and therapists integrating body-based approaches more fully into their work
  • Active duty military, veterans, and spouses seeking continued growth and application
  • Anyone ready to refine their teaching and create more intentional, effective experiences

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
 

Just a desire to continue growing in a way that is grounded, informed, and impactful.

Real Students. Real Impact.

Tami Jungklaus, NP, 500-RYT

Lenora's teaching style is deeply empathetic and supportive. She has an innate ability to understand each student's unique journey and challenges, providing personalized guidance that makes you feel truly seen and valued. Her compassionate approach creates a nurturing environment where growth and self-discovery flourish. Lenora's adaptability is remarkable. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to advanced yoga practices, she seamlessly adjusts her teaching to meet you where you are. Her extensive knowledge of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and various styles is evident in every class, making the learning experience rich and comprehensive. Lenora's intelligence shines through in her insightful teachings. She has a profound understanding of the mind-body connection and shares this wisdom in a way that is both accessible and profound.

Hannah Bernstein, 200RYT, ABA

Completing this 200-hour trauma-informed training with Lenora has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, both personally and professionally. From the very first session, it was clear that the curriculum was built with extraordinary care and intention. The trauma-informed framework didn't just shape how I understand yoga as a healing tool; it deepened my relationship with my own body and nervous system, helped me grow through one of the biggest transitions of my life, and gave me the confidence to step into teaching.

Kaley Lawrie, 200 RYT

I had a wonderful experience with Pointe of Grace Yoga Institute! You can tell Lenora has a passion for teaching and for the benefits of trauma-informed yoga practice. The training is comprehensive, thoughtful, and gives you a solid foundation upon which to build your practice as a future yoga teacher. I enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend POGYI to anyone looking to become a registered yoga teacher!

Jenny Means, 500RYT

My time with POGYI has been life changing. I learned so much about trauma and how to adjust my teaching to help others in this area. I really liked to how we were live online and really felt close to everyone in our training. The training was very intense and went extremely deep into each area. I love how we went over lessons but had visuals to review for ....ever! Lenora taught me about practical/somatic tools, compassionate language and how to create a safe yoga space.I needed this for my OWN nervous system and excited to continue this journey. I know Lenora will always be there to cheer me on and I SO appreciate that. Highly recommend POGYI.

Alyssa Ruch, 500 RYT-Intern, Deacon & Certified Spiritual Director

"I thoroughly enjoyed my 200-hour Yoga training through Pointe of Grace Yoga Institute. It was exactly what I was looking for in this season. I'm excited to be able to offer my own trauma-informed classes now!"

"For years, I tried to complete my 500-hour training, but I had a difficult time finding a school where I truly felt supported, not only in my yoga practice but also in life in general. Point of Grace gave me exactly that. I can truly say that I grew both as a practitioner and yoga teacher I highly recommend Point of Grace to anyone looking to deepen their practice and expand their knowledge of yoga."
