LATE 2017/EARLY 2018 IN TORONTO, CANADA
Using a New Model Based on New Research into the Healing Effects
of Kundalini Yoga on Mental and Physical Trauma

• Child development, brain development and function, trauma and attachment theory
• Simple versus complex trauma, and the implications for mental and physical health,                   socialization and relationships
• Self-integration and how yoga fits into an integrative treatment approach
• Special considerations when providing yoga therapy to individuals with trauma
• Specific practices, guiding principles and resources clinically tested and empirically   researched in an 8-week trauma protocol
