This Hybrid Trauma-Informed 200hr YTT takes place at Samahita Retreat Center. Samahita, meaning centered is one of the original wellness retreat centers in Southeast Asia. Koh Samui is known for its palm-fringed beaches, coconut groves, and dense, mountainous rainforests. Tropical, lush, and unique, this is the perfect setting for the in-person portion of our YTT.
The online portion of this program will allow us to cultivate a strong container with clear guidelines and foundational principles to follow as a cohort so that our time together can be utilized as a space of vulnerability, discovery, and learning. We will use our virtual time together to cover didactic material to ensure that we all have the same fundamental understanding of trauma-informed work before we meet in person. With this solid foundation in place, we can then continue this exploration which is further amplified through interpersonal, in-real-life exchanges and discussions. We hope you can join us for this ½ online ½ in person 200hr YTT in Thailand!
When “teaching” Yoga, we are not just guiding poses.
We are guiding people.
We are guiding nervous systems.
We are guiding complex and unique physiologies.
Each of us has a different orientation of how we perceive our own safety or lack thereof. Through a psycho-somatic understanding of Trauma and the ways it lives in the body, we can embrace the practice of Yoga in a way that permits each individual to have their own experience. Psycho-education around dissociation and disembodiment can give us the tools to not only understand our own physiology but the ways in which the inner worlds and trauma responses of the folks that we work with may differ from our own.
“Brooke and Jeanine are amazing! They are incredibly intuitive and capable of holding space for each individual within the group. They offered fantastic opportunities to explore and be creative within our own practices. And they are just FUN to be around!
This training has provided an abundance of healing and understanding of my own trauma. It has provided me with an opportunity to meet others that have been through similar situations, as well as those that have been through their own type of traumas. We are all on a path to healing and being around so many like-minded individuals in this group setting has been both liberating and empowering.
When I first decided to pursue YTT, I was questioning whether it was simply a desire to deepen my own practice, or if the desire was actually a higher calling. Through this training I have found my dharma. I know, without a doubt, I am called to bring this training back to my community and help to others find their way to healing.”

This 200hr Trauma-Informed Yoga Training will weave through 4 cycles: Stabilize, Metabolize, Visualize, and Alchemize. The intention for the flow of this program is to invite students into a deep reflective space of Self Confrontation and then to empower them to excavate their wounds into their wisdom and their pain into their purpose through Service.
The Trauma-Informed 200hr Curriculum includes:
ONLINE
IN-PERSON
A yoga space that honors the nuance of the human experience facilitates an environment where each practitioner can take agency over their own bodily autonomy, nervous system regulation, and power of choice. A truly trauma-informed environment embraces and welcomes all emotional realities while highlighting the undeniable truth that embodiment means discerning for oneself what feels right and what feels safe in each moment.
Our integration of this knowledge then informs the way that we show up to hold space for others on their mats. With compassion, curiosity, and kindness we can broaden our willingness to meet the fluctuations of being human both within ourselves and within each other. Embodiment practices, such as Yoga asana, are proven to be the most effective modality in trauma recovery. With this in mind, we learn that we can excavate art from our painful experiences and use it all as a source of freedom and authentic self-expression.
Through the lens of Trauma-Informed education, Yoga is not only an art and a science but a necessity for the future of our world at large.
There are two required booked for this course:
You will receive our Trauma-Informed 200-hour Manuals before the course begins.

Thailand is a spiritual, colorful, and peaceful land. Koh Samui, in particular, is lush and beautiful, with tropical jungles and white-sand beaches surrounded by a sapphire-blue sea. An island in the Gulf of Thailand, Samui is situated in a high-energy zone, which directly affects practices like yoga and meditation, and makes it an ideal place for positive transformation and growth.
As well as being a tropical haven of beaches, five-star hotels and spas, Samui has a rich Buddhist heritage and is home to many active temples. Only a five-minute walk from Samahita Retreat is the Laem Sor Pagoda. With its shining golden tiles and peaceful atmosphere next to the mangroves and the ocean you can also visit the remains of Leung Poo Daeng, a realized monk and climb up to the Khao Chedi, high on the mountain with breathtaking views. Wat Kunaram is home to the preserved body of the revered Lung Padaeng, known as the Mummified Monk as he is still sitting in the meditation position over 20 years after his death. The most iconic Buddha statue on Samui is Wat Phra Yai, or Big Buddha temple not far from the Airport, where you can climb the steps up to see the large majestic Buddha.

For deep swimming beaches, the North and East of Samui have less reef protection, with Chaweng’s powdery sands drawing in vast crowds of tourists from around the globe. A hub of shopping, nightlife and entertainment, this bustling metropolis feels like a million miles from the tranquility of Samahita Retreat’s quiet beach. Silver Beach near Lamai is still reminiscent of old Samui with a few family-run resorts and restaurants and is a favorite for swimming beach with the locals.

In terms of credentials, our Trauma-Informed 200hr Yoga Teacher Training provides you with the same Yoga Alliance standard protocols for teaching yoga internationally that any standard 200hr curriculum would. The primary differences in the Trauma-informed approach are the focus and emphasis on Yoga for mental health, emotional regulation, nervous system psycho-education and teaching Yoga in a more accessible way.
