TEACHING YOGA TO AT-RISK YOUTH & ADULTS
Taught by Hala Khouri, M.A. E-RYT

Are you drawn to sharing the gifts of yoga at community centers, 
low income neighborhoods and schools, juvenile halls and hospitals, 
wanting to work with those who are disadvantaged, marginalized or suffering….?
This training provides you with the skills and tools to work with those considered 
“at-risk” due to poverty, violence, abuse, accidents or neglect.  You’ll gain 
understanding and confidence in addressing the challenges that can arise 
in these settings and learn how to optimize the yoga you offer.

The focus of this training is on understanding the physiology of trauma 
and how it shows up in the body.  The majority of people considered 
"at-risk" have had significant trauma in their lives. Hala will share important 
tools from Somatic Experiencing, a technique that helps to resolve the 
symptoms of trauma such as disassociation,anxiety, chronic dysregulation, 
depression and addiction. You will learn how to incorporate these tools into a yoga class. 

This 18 hour training is for anyone with a yoga teacher training 
or who works with at risk youth and wants tools. You do not need to be 
a yoga teacher to do this training!
