Meet Cartelia Kennedy, long time faculty member. She’s led coaching calls and community classes, and you may also have shared beautiful space while she was assisting with previous Level 1 trainings in Austin.

We’re working on finalizing the details, but we’re hoping to be able to get an in-person Level 1 training on the calendar with her in Austin before the end of the year!

Many trauma and yoga trainings focus on the “don’ts” and the “cant’s.” I’ve spoken with SO many yoga teachers over the years who leave those trainings feeling insecure and disempowered.

Similarly, while more therapist trainings are focusing on the body, many neglect social justice and decolonization perspectives necessary for individual and collective healing.

Here at TCYI, we take a different approach. We’ve certified thousands of mental health providers and yoga teachers over the past decade who now feel more confident and embodied in creating compassionate and conscious spaces to hold others through healing journeys.

Curious if we’re the right fit for you?

Trauma-Conscious Yoga is not about “the don’ts.”

It’s about honoring our role as space holders by examining the layers of who we are and how we show up in the physical or virtual room, everyday.

It’s about creating comfortable, safe, compassionate, and choice oriented spaces where we invite others to explore their practice in a way that feels right for them in the moment.

“Teaching General Audience Classes from a TCYM Lens” is designed for yoga teachers and TCYM practitioners who want to learn more about how to approach general audience classes- studios, group fitness, classes in the park, etc. and guide them in a trauma-conscious way. This 2-hr workshop with Krystal will help you learn how to make small adjustments without losing your authenticity.

Earn 2 Yoga Alliance CEUs with live Zoom attendance. No recording available for this event. Register using the link in our bio at www.traumaconsciousyoga.com

💫 Big Changes- New Ownership 💫

Starting April 1st, our founder, colleague, and teacher will be stepping away from TCYI and embarking on a new journey as she re-establishes herself in private practice.

Long time community member and teaching faculty, Krystal Akin, will be picking up where Grace (formerly Nityda) left off and will work to hold and expand our community as we move forward together. More to come on trainings, community classes, and coaching calls to be scheduled soon!

If you’re on our email list, you may have received a couple of emails from Grace over the past few days, explaining her reasons for leaving the organization and her yoga practice. If you didn’t see it or you aren’t on our list, you can find the video here: https://9228dea3.click.convertkit-mail.com/r8up67lv8lcoh3dk9opt2hdnz4rq6h7hmz4q/z2hghnhe6rnmr6sp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dD00cyZ2PXo3aEFFVlZGR2JJ

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to share virtual or real life space with Grace, you know she is a force and a light in this world. And while we are saddened to lose her here on our team, we are also excited to share in her joy as she moves into a space that feels more aligned. If you’d like to reach out to her with any questions or encouragements, her TCYI email, nityda@traumaconsciousyoga.com , will still be active until 3/29/26. *Please know that she has been receiving a lot of outreach and she is working to respond as quickly and thoughtfully as possible 🙏🏼*
