This day long workshop and corresponding online element will introduce you to what trauma informed yoga is and how the tools can be utilized in classes and in the community.
Trauma and it’s effects – PTSD, anxiety and depression are more evident in our society today than ever before. We are constantly trying to keep up with social media, the news, the weather and our own expectations of self that we find ourselves in a constant flux of emotions. This then diminishes our overall well being can lead to more serious health problems.
In this lecture based workshop, you will gain knowledge and access to tools that you may integrate in yoga classes or private sessions that will assist the student in an effort of growth and transformation. You will develop more understanding and compassion to people living with trauma from a yogic perspective by learning about healing the brain, calming the mind and the physical body as a whole.
The 10 hour commitment includes a one day lecture and online assignments to be completed within 6 months of the in person meeting. You will receive a certificate of completion to be submitted to Yoga Alliance for credit, if desired.

Get a new view on you through the lens of Ayurvedic Yoga! Every individual human body has its own elemental make-up. Each of the five elements: earth, fire, water, air and space (ether) has its own particular grouping of qualities. The three doshas, constitutional types, vata, pitta and kapha are the unique combinations of the five elements. The concept of these doshas stems from India’s ancient healing science, Ayurveda, which is believed to be the oldest continually practiced form of medicine in the world. Ayurveda means “life knowledge.” Everyone is composed of all five elements, and everyone has all three doshas, just in different proportions. When you are feeling “off” physically, emotionally or mentally it can be traced to imbalances in the doshas.
This weekend is a unique exploration of three practices that offer profound impacts on your constitutional (dosha) balance. MELT, Yoga and Ayurvedic Self-Care.
Experience the innovative MELT Method® and it’s profound benefits for balancing Vata, the most vulnerable of the doshas.
Find out how an Ayurvedic approach to balancing the doshas through asana, pranayama and meditation can help you stay resilient, vital and fulfilled. Develop your personal self-care plan with an understanding of Ayurveda’s Three Pillars of Health and an initial assessment of your constitutional type, or dosha. Begin living and working with sustainable energy, a positive outlook and uplifted spirit by exploring the powerful self-care practices of Ayurveda, Yoga and MELT. Ayurveda encourages small incremental changes, avoiding extremes. Return home with a plan to incorporate a few easy-to-integrate self care practices, employing the mantra for Ayurveda, “Little by little, over and over.”
The Friday night, Saturday and Sunday sessions constitute 15hrs and count as a module toward the 60-hour Dynamic Gentle Yoga Teacher Certification and qualify for YA CEs.
All sessions are appropriate for yoga teachers and all-levels of yoga students. Attend one, all or as many sessions as you like.

Vata Soothing Gentle Yoga with Rudy Peirce
Vata dosha is associated with the air and ether elements. Think butterflies, hummingbirds, balloons, thoughts floating, constant movement, never landing, resisting steadiness. Without grounding or river banks, vata imbalances can lead to nervousness, anxiety and confusion. We all have a certain amount of vata, and it is the aspect of our constitution most easily thrown out of imbalance. Generally, we all need vata soothing…especially when we’re leading busy lives and on the move. Move from anxious to steady in this slow, grounded practice to soothe vata.

Kapha Boosting Yoga with Rudy Peirce
Kapha dosha is associated with the water and earth elements. This quality likes chilling out, relaxing activities at home and on the couch, munching comfort foods and taking it easy. “Don’t worry, be happy” is a kapha organizing principle. Kapha-dominant people tend to be calm, loyal, affable, steady, slow and sure. For this dosha to come into balance, movement is medicine. You can start out slow, then gradually nudge it, ramp it up, deepen the breath, begin to churn, keep it moving, flow in, flow out, get the juices flowing, the heart pumping, stoke the fire. This can be the perfect morning practice. Rest assured, you will be encouraged to churn at your own chosen speed.

Yoga and MELT® - Get Grounded with Joyce Peirce
This workshop is a unique combination of gentle yoga and MELT also known as Hands-Off Bodywork®. The human body is up to 70% water, however, as we age, keeping our tissues moist and supple becomes more challenging and we are vulnerable to muscle strain, injury, chronic pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety, etc. Essentially, the vata dosha becomes more vulnerable with the accumulation of stress and the physiology of aging. New science shows that what we attribute to “aging” is related to the hydration and functioning of the neuro-fascial system. When you combine the gentle tools and techniques of MELT with accessible yoga, you improve your breathing, enhance your alignment and balance, decrease the risk of injury and muscle strain, and soothe the nervous system so it can down-shift into the rest and repair mode to support the body's ability to relax and heal. Learn to soothe the vata dosha to increase steadiness and resilience and deepen relaxation. Get grounded with yoga and MELT!
