Testimonials

Testimonials

“The yoga practices we teach are empowering folks to find tools to guide them on their healing journey. The sense of community within ETI is inspirational, compassionate, and empowering.”

- Jessica Apfel

“The instructor was approachable, incredibly knowledgeable and resourced. She was strong in her humility and allowed us to think for ourselves with her guidance. She provided many different perspectives and outlooks that helped me broaden my understanding of trauma in yoga and beyond that, into the world. She fostered an atmosphere where others felt free in their sharing, which deepened our learning from one another. “

- Exhale to Inhale Trainee

“It was even better than I expected. I learned so much that I am really grateful for. The most helpful skill for me was about choice-making because it's so connected to the communities I have been serving. I was motivated to take this training because I believe it can be really helpful for undeserved communities... It's like having a collective therapy with the possibility of facilitating healing for many people at the same time because these are skills that can support everyone's healing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

- Exhale to Inhale Trainee

“I loved how diverse everyone's backgrounds were. Hearing how each individual planned to bring this trauma-informed training into their own communities was very exciting & inspiring. Thank you all for a wonderfully constructed course. I feel prepared to bring this type of training to my community, especially those who do not have access to trauma-informed classes. The teachers were lovely & extremely helpful, the other trainees were wonderful to work with, and I finished the training feeling confident in my abilities to apply this to my own teaching.”

- Exhale to Inhale Trainee

“This past weekend, I had the pleasure to partake in Exhale to Inhale's trauma-informed yoga training, learning how trauma affects the nervous system, developing skills and knowledge to create more inclusive spaces, and how to be a system of support during the healing-process. I left the training feeling empowered to incorporate these tools into my public classes and more conscious of how my words + presence may impact trauma-survivors.”
