Pathways to Peace
A Trauma-Informed 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training

This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you are—and learning how to guide others from that place.

Whether you feel called to teach, deepen your practice, or understand the nervous system and healing more fully… this training meets you there.

This training may be a good fit for you if you:

• You feel the pull toward teaching—but don’t want to perform

• You’re a helper, therapist, or caregiver seeking deeper embodiment

• You’ve experienced your own healing and want to support others safely

• You want to understand the nervous system—not just memorize poses

• You long for a space where you can grow without pressure

Why This Training Is Different

• Trauma-informed, polyvagal-based foundation

• Small cohort with real mentorship (not just hours logged)

• Integration-focused (not crammed weekends)

• Teaching from presence—not performance

• A space to become, not prove

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Do I need to want to teach yoga to join this training?

Not at all. Some students feel called to teach. Others come to deepen their personal practice, understand their nervous system, or explore their own healing. This training meets you wherever you are—and supports whatever unfolds.

I’m new to yoga. Is this training appropriate for me?

Yes. You don’t need to be advanced or flexible. What matters more is your willingness to be present, curious, and engaged. We build from the ground up—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

What does “trauma-informed” actually mean in this training?

It means we center safety, choice, and agency in everything we do. You’ll learn how trauma impacts the nervous system—and how to guide practices that support regulation, not overwhelm. And just as importantly, you’ll experience this approach yourself throughout the training.

How much of the training is in-person vs. online?

The training is primarily in-person, with a supportive online component.

• Weekend immersions, teaching labs, and practicum are in-person

• Weekly Zoom sessions support integration, philosophy, and discussion

This hybrid model allows for both depth of connection and space for reflection.

What if I have to miss a session?

We understand that life happens. Limited absences can be supported through make-up work and coordination with the lead trainer. Our intention is to maintain integrity of the experience while supporting real life.

What kind of support will I receive during the training?

This is a small, mentorship-based cohort.

You’ll receive:

• Personalized feedback during teaching labs

• A one-on-one mentorship session

• Ongoing guidance throughout your practicum

• A community of peers walking alongside you

You won’t be doing this alone.

Will I be ready to teach after this training?

Yes—with the understanding that teaching is a path, not a finish line.

You’ll leave with:

• A strong foundation in sequencing and cueing

• Real teaching experience

• Confidence rooted in presence—not performance

And most importantly, trust in your own voice.

Is this Yoga Alliance certified?

Yes. Upon completion, you’ll receive a 200-hour certificate and be eligible to register as an RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance.

What is the time commitment outside of training hours?

You’ll be invited into a rhythm of:

• Weekly personal practice

• Reading and reflection

• Occasional journaling and assignments

This is not about overwhelm—it’s about integration.

What if I feel nervous or unsure about joining?

That’s completely natural. Many students arrive feeling unsure—and that uncertainty often becomes part of the journey itself. If you feel a quiet pull, we invite you to trust that and explore further. You’re also welcome to schedule a conversation to feel into whether this is the right fit. Above there is a link to schedule a no-obligation, casual chat with Dawn to ask questions and get more information.

What is the investment?

Tuition is $2,249.00 if you register before June 30th. Tuition is $2,499.00 if you register after June 30th. The only other cost is for books that are required for training. You can purchase these books any way you wish - online, used, etc

Yes. During checkout the system will provide payment plan option

How many students are in each cohort?

The goal is 8-12 students per cohort.

What is your refund or cancellation policy?

A nonrefundable deposit of $449 is required to secure your spot. The $449 deposit is non-refundable. If a student withdraws 30 days or more before the training begins, all tuition paid beyond the deposit will be refunded in full. If a student withdraws within 30 days of the training start date, 50% of tuition (beyond the deposit) will be refunded. Once the program has begun, no refunds are issued, except in cases of documented medical emergency or life-altering circumstance. In such cases, the school may grant a partial credit toward a future training at its discretion. If Sunflower Yoga Studio and/or The Creatrix Yoga School must cancel the program for any reason, all tuition (including deposits) will be refunded in full.
