50-Hour Yoga Courses
The Art of Trauma-Informed Safety, Support, & Sequencing
March 5-8, 2026
This 50-hour course is where the art and heart of teaching come together. We’ll dive into trauma-informed teaching: what it means to teach in a way that centres safety, choice, and nervous system awareness. You’ll develop your capacity to hold space skillfully, supportthe room effectively, and teach with presence and adaptability.
Facilitate inclusive and accessible spaces that welcome a variety of cultural, emotional, physical, and neuro-diverse backgrounds. This course is grounded in nervous system education and yogic philosophy. Appropriate for yoga teachers, meditation teachers, wellness facilitators, and those interested in working with dysregulation and upskilling towards offering trauma-sensitive group offerings through ACC ISSC.
We’ll explore how to design and deliver thoughtful, intelligent sequences that are grounded in physiological and cultural awareness, responsive to energetic states, and attuned to the nervous system. You’ll learn how to structure classes with intention, from welcome to integration, while staying flexible enough to meet the moment.
Finally, we’ll begin weaving meditation into your class structure, whether as a simple moment of awareness or a central thread. You'll gain confidence in guiding students inward, using language and pacing that support accessibility and depth. Each day includes practice, sequencing labs, guided reflections, and group feedback. By the end, you’ll walk away with practical frameworks, creative confidence, and a toolkit to teach classes that feel purposeful and useful.

Workshops & Events
Raquel Minh hosts Miria Aman to learn more about women's health in this fun and interactive workshop designed to empower you with practical tools and knowledge for lifelong breast wellness. “The Boob Job” Our breasts are full of lymphatic tissue, yet many of us don't know how to care for this vital part of our health. When lymph becomes stagnant, it can affect not only how we feel day to day—tired, puffy, heavy—but also how our body maintains balance over time.

“It is possible the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.”
—Thich Nhat Hanh
