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.
