“Lucky for me, I was fortunate enough to take Sangeeta Vallabhan’s first Trauma Yoga Teacher Training in NYC. I have been a student at quite a few Yoga Teacher Trainings, & this is definitely one of the best. Sangeeta is my favorite type of teacher, in that the importance of what you’re learning is both reinforced & reflected in the qualities of the person who’s teaching the class. She’s a natural educator. The classes were a healthy balance of being informative, fun, experiential, conversational, & hands on. By the time we got to ‘practice teaching‘, I made it through without falling to pieces like I normally would. In fact, I was shocked to discover how much I enjoyed the process, as well as learned. Sangeeta never ever makes you feel stupid, & is always available to offer honest, as well as caring support.”

“Sangeeta’s solemarch - a trauma informed yoga training gave me a greater understanding of how to teach a class with kindness, compassion, and mindfulness. Sangeeta’s approach creates a safe space that empowers students to learn, practice, make mistakes, and continue to grow. There were many aspects of trauma I did not understand and this training opened my eyes to how influenced we are by different life experiences. With a new understanding of the effects of trauma I feel empowered to offer a safe space for others to explore yoga, reconnect with their bodies, and begin working on their own healing. This training was a life-changing experience for me and I would recommend it to anyone who is hoping to offer yoga as a tool for healing.”

“Sangeeta’s Solemarch Trauma-Informed teacher training provided the perfect blend of education/research, lived experience and meaningful discussion. Sangeeta is very clear and intentional in her instruction - whether in an asana practice, meditation or a training with such significant content as trauma informed yoga. Sangeeta reminded me that this practice is not “one-size-fits-all”, and taught me that the agenda of a trauma informed yoga class is that there is no agenda; it’s about letting students experience movement and the breath in a safe space. I remember coming out of the training weekend with a deep sense of compassion for my own experience and a continued curiosity and appreciation for what trauma informed yoga can bring to all of us.”
