Ashley Turner, LMFT

I'm hosting this free masterclass because trauma often shows up in your yoga room whether from systemic oppression and inherited trauma or because of other abuse including sexual, emotional, or verbal. As a yoga instructor, it’s important to unpack the power dynamics in your class and learn to be impeccable with your language for effective trauma resolution. I believe yoga therapy is one of the most transformative practices we have to change lives.

When I learn tools that improve your teaching and expertise, I always want to share them with you.
