FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Nope, our TRMBW™ & SEL Somatic Healing Teacher programming is for everyone; yoga teachers, educators, coaches, social service workers, wellness practitioners, health care workers, or helping professionals who wish to gain the skills and knowledge to implement trauma responsive services and practices for healing and prevention of trauma.

  • Although there are no prerequisites to take this training, it is recommended that you have some knowledge of yoga, somatic movement, trauma and recovery.

  • Yes! If you’ve already completed a yoga or other somatic movement teacher training course – this is a great addition to your teacher training if you want to become trauma informed. You’ll receive valuable trauma informed educational resources, tools, and information to add on to your previous training. Along with restorative asana, you will learn new somatic practices for trauma resolution.

  • A consistent weekly movement and/or yoga and ritual practice for wellbeing is preferred.

  • The Yoga Alliance is an organization dedicated to yoga education in the United States. Though the Yoga Alliance is involved in many outreach programs, including the International Day of Yoga, it is best known for setting recommended standards for yoga teacher training programs.

  • Registered (Not Certified) Training Programs. Yoga Alliance is a professional association with an annual membership fee. Yoga Alliance does not certify teachers or accredit schools. Yoga Alliance’s credentialing system is a directory, not to be confused with other types of credentialing systems (such as certifications, accreditations, licensure, etc.).

    You often see references to yoga teachers or studios being "certified" by the Yoga Alliance.

    This is a misconception, because the Yoga Alliance does not certify teachers, but rather registers teacher training programs that meet its minimum standards in the following categories: 200-hour, 500-hour, prenatal, and children's yoga. For example, at the 200-hour level, the Yoga Alliance breaks down how many hours should be spent on each part of the training, including teaching methodology, physiology, philosophy, etc.

    If a yoga studio's teacher training program meets these standards, they can register with the Yoga Alliance.

    Many of our instructors including the Founder Amanda are RYT with Yoga Alliance. A Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) is a distinction given to yoga teachers whose training and teaching experience meet Yoga Alliance requirements. A RYT must complete training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS), be confirmed by Yoga Alliance and current with annual fees and Continuing Education.

  • For each 50-hour training module completed, you will receive a certificate of completion by Rituals for Recovery HAI.

    You will receive a certificate of completion for our Fundamentals of Trauma Recovery Courses.

    For all 4 modules completed you will receive a Rituals for Recovery HAI TRMBW™ 200hr Somatic Healing Program certificate of completion.

    After completing the Mental Health First Course, graduates will also receive a MHFA certificate of completion.

    After completing the certification requirements you will be designated and recognized as a RfR certified TRMBW ™ & SEL Somatic Healing Teacher.
