Not Just a Certification — A Formation in Healing, Science, and Spirit
At Pointe of Grace Yoga Institute, we don’t just train yoga teachers. We equip guides, clinicians, and leaders to hold safe, embodied spaces where real healing can unfold. Rooted in both modern science and ancient wisdom, our program integrates trauma theory, neuroscience, and yoga philosophy into a transformative educational journey.

Maybe you've worked on your own healing for a while, but you still sense something is missing.
Maybe your community feels disconnected, and you wish there was a way to bring resilience and strength to the people around you.
Maybe you have heard about evidence-based approaches to Yoga and somatic healing, and you want to learn how to harness that knowledge for yourself and those you share life with.
Or maybe you've been searching for a meaningful change in your career, wondering how to find fulfillment and consistency doing work that truly matters.
You're not alone. Many people who long to share Yoga as a healing practice feel unsure of how to step into the role of a confident and effective teacher.
Hi, I'm Lenora Rousseau, lead instructor and founder of the Pointe of Grace Yoga Institute.
I have integrated over seven years of education, experience, and research with over 10,000 hours of teaching Yoga and movement to develop Trauma-Informed, evidence-based Yoga Teaching Training Courses that help people not only grow as teachers but transform as human beings. As an E-RYT 500, Chaplain, Certified Spiritual Director, and MSW Intern, I've spent years blending Yoga, behavioral health coaching, and spiritual care into programs that facilitiate meaningful healing and resilience.
Our training programs exists for people just like you - those looking to step into the next chapter of their vocational calling with clarity and purpose.

The Pointe of Grace Yoga Institute's Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Trainings
includes comprehensive certification programs designed to help you heal, grow, and teach with confidence.

Most trainings focus on memorized sequences or generalized theory.
Our POGYI Method sets us apart:
- An evidence-based approach to cueing and sequencing
- A system that ensures you can confidently teach in any setting - from studios, to therapy practices, to community programs, and private clients.
- A method designed, not just to certify you, but to transform you personally so you embody resilience and purpose.
