In this episode, we're joined by Tinneca Fortin, a meditation teacher and somatic trauma therapist, who brings her wealth of knowledge and compassionate approach to teaching yoga and meditation. As a key facilitator in our 200-hour training program, Tinneca guides us through her upcoming workshops, focusing on meditation and the nervous system, trauma-informed teaching, and embodying mindfulness in yoga practice.

We begin by exploring the connection between meditation and the human nervous system, delving into how understanding these elements can transform both personal practice and teaching approaches. Tinneca also offers insights into the history of meditation and introduces us to the "Sampler Platter" of diverse meditation techniques, designed to deepen awareness in both practitioners and future teachers.

Next, we dive into the world of trauma-informed yoga. Tinneca shares her expertise on creating a safe and supportive environment for all students, highlighting the importance of choice, empowerment, and understanding the nervous system's responses during yoga practice. She also discusses how these principles can profoundly impact the yoga community, helping students navigate their mental and emotional well-being with greater care.

Whether you're an aspiring yoga teacher, a student looking to deepen your practice, or someone interested in the interplay of mind, body, and healing, this conversation with Tinneca offers invaluable perspectives and practical advice.

Tune in to learn more about how these teachings can transform not only your practice but also your approach to supporting others on their yoga journey.
