Journey to the Self:
Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training

This isn’t just a training to teach yoga.
It’s a call inward. A return. A remembering.

At Total Practice, our 9-month Yoga Teacher Training is a slow, intentional journey back home to yourself. Yes, you’ll learn how to teach—how to sequence, how to cue, how to hold space with integrity. But more than that, you’ll be invited to explore the deeper layers of yoga—the ones that don’t show up on Instagram but live in your breath, your beliefs, and the way you move through the world.

Because teaching yoga isn’t about perfection.
It’s about presence.
It’s about practicing what you preach, even when it’s messy.
It’s about learning how to hold space for others because you’ve finally learned how to hold space for yourself.

This training is for you if:

  • You’re craving a deeper relationship with your practice (and with yourself)

  • You want to understand yoga beyond the poses—through philosophy, breath, energetics, and nervous system regulation

  • You believe that yoga should be inclusive, healing, and rooted in connection—not competition

  • You’re interested in trauma-informed teaching, personal growth, and leading from a place of authenticity

What makes this training different:

  • Small group format for deep connection and personalized support

  • Trauma-informed foundation woven through every module

  • Real-world teaching practice (because confidence grows through doing)

  • Holistic, whole-self approach integrating philosophy, breath, movement, and self-inquiry

You don’t need to be the most flexible, the most experienced, or the most “put together.” You just need to be willing to show up. For yourself. For your growth. For the path ahead.

We believe the best teachers are the ones still learning.
And the best classrooms are the ones that feel like coming home.

Let this be the beginning of your next chapter.
Your seat is already waiting.

The next training begins March 2026. If you’d like to be a part of this experience, please let us know by emailing at the link below. We’ll be in touch with more information soon.
