Join us in spreading the benefits of Neurogenic Yoga™ and Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises® (TRE®) globally!
Our integrative online format gives you the unique opportunity to become certified in Neurogenic Yoga and TRE in one seamless program.
This program is geared specifically for experienced yoga instructors (see prerequisites below) who seek to integrate profound tension and trauma release work into the yoga class setting as well as to facilitate Trauma Releasing Exercises. This program is designed to bring important knowledge and understanding of the nervous system and trauma recovery to the forefront of your work with individual clients and/or groups.
Neurogenic Yoga combines asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises) with the body’s natural shaking response. This profound practice facilitates the lengthening and relaxation of the psoas muscle and the release of physical and emotional stress and tension. During a Neurogenic Yoga practice, we safely self induce the body's innate vibration, called Neurogenic Tremoring using yoga postures, breath and body-driven movement.
The Neurogenic Yoga and TRE Dual Certification Program is appropriate for all disciplines of yoga from restorative and therapeutic methods, to vigorous vinyasa and power yoga instructors. This training is designed to enhance your biomechanical and energetic understanding of asana and pranayama in relationship to the body's natural tremor response; not to adopt and teach specific sequencing.
