Participant testimonials…
“I loved the training & our time together. I learned so much & feel so encouraged. You have a really special gift. I’m so glad I came across the training on Yoga Alliances site. The timing really feels divine as I, too, have had a sudden change in my financial situation & have to get serious about building financial stability.” ~Kelly P, RYT 200
“Taking Trauma Informed Yoga for Marginalized Communities led by Gina Barrett was a meaningful step on my journey as a yoga teacher, social justice advocate, and most importantly, someone who is committed to learning how to be a better friend each day.
Many parts of the training were experiential. Gina's movement practices instilled lessons in my body and mind that will be revealed with time. I very much appreciated the stories, photos and videos Gina shared of her applied experience working with various populations. The selected readings were a great mix of sources and perspectives. In this training, Gina created an environment of openness, realness, and grace that she models herself and extends to others.” ~Sarah Block, RYT 200
