The Firefly Training introduces the foundations of teaching trauma-informed yoga to yoga teachers, therapists, medical professionals, educators, and other social service providers who incorporate yoga or body-based practices into their work with clients and patients. The training consists of a robust, evidence-supported, 30-hour curriculum delivered through six modules. Firefly views trauma through a public health lens while applying an interdisciplinary approach drawing from various fields, including: neuroscience, trauma theory, traumatology, and positive psychology. The Firefly Training has equipped more than 500 professionals (in 26 states and 5 countries) on the principles and practice of trauma-informed yoga. In an effort to accommodate diverse learning styles, the training combines lecture, small and large group discussions, group activities, partner practice teaching, independent study, and experiential learning. The Firefly Training will be led by Annie Kiel, MPH, MA, E-RYT 200.
