As human beings, we have the potential to rebalance our nervous systems, to connect with our true nature, to reclaim our wellbeing, and to spend more of our lives in a state of joy and ease.
Learn to facilitate this process of resilience-building by understanding, embodying, and then guiding others through simple mind-body practices that utilize the built-in resources of their own bodies.
🙋🏻♀️ WHO THIS IS FOR
The Brilliance Trauma-Informed Resilience-Focused training is a professional 30-hour certification program for yoga teachers and others who want to understand how trauma impacts the whole person, learn techniques to support those with trauma histories, and integrate resilience-building mind-body practices into their professional work.
Like any tool, yoga has the potential to help or harm. In this program you will learn to share these potent practices in a skillful way that prioritizes students’ safety and guides students to build their internal sense of agency and safety.
This training is for you if you’d like to:
✨ Learn practical, evidence-based yogic practices to support the whole-being well-being of your students
✨ Better understand how trauma is stored in the body, the role of the nervous system, polyvagal theory, and other modern science along with yogic and Ayurvedic philosophy and science relevant to trauma and resilience
✨ Learn how specific practices work with the nervous system to help students shift their mental, emotional, and physical states, and build self-efficacy
✨ Learn how to practice non-harming (Ahimsa) by understanding how trauma affects individuals and groups; avoid unintentional retraumatization; recognize symptoms of trauma if they show up; respond skillfully when they do.
✅ CERTIFICATION: Receive a Trauma-Informed, Resilience-Focused Yoga Certificate upon completion of the in-person and online trainings. This training is eligible for 30 Yoga Alliance continuing education hours.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Mollee Sheehan, E-RYT-500, YACEP, AYS, TIYT is a certified trauma-informed yoga instructor and educator, Ayurvedic yoga specialist, and well-being consultant.
For the past 20 years, Mollee has shared these life-supportive practices in a way that welcomes and honors the unique brilliance of those she is privileged to work with.
She offers organizational well-being consulting, and teaches classes, workshops and teacher trainings in the upper Midwest, and online.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE:
This training program is built upon over a decade of intensive personal experience studying, working with, and healing from my own complex trauma, childhood trauma, and traumatic-event related PTSD using the tools of mindfulness, meditation, yoga and other trauma-supportive somatic practices.
After coming to know first-hand these powerful tools, I felt an unyielding desire to share with others -- not just how to understand and support people with trauma histories, but moving beyond trauma into sustained, embodied resilience.
Much of what I have learned and now share has come from participants in trauma-informed resilience-focused yoga programs I’ve led with groups of sexual assault survivors, college students experiencing mental health challenges, and professional caregivers; along with individuals on their own healing journeys, and the hundreds of yoga teacher trainees in 200- and 500-hour yoga teacher programs over the past several years.
