Holding Hearts

50 hour Yoga Teacher Training
Grief and Trauma Awareness

A LUNA RETREAT PARTNERSHIP

Osa Peninsula Costa Rica

Led by Angela Ogle

February 16 ~ 22, 2025

A 50 hour Yoga Teacher training – led by Angela Ogle, E-RYT 500, YACEP, that will provide you with tools and tips necessary for holding space in your yoga classes for those students experiencing grief and trauma related emotions.
This boutique style training with a small and intimate group nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican Jungle promises to be a truly transformational experience.

THE EXPERIENCE

Our intention is to work, learn, and grow together- all while practicing Yoga daily in an amazing natural and oh so peaceful setting. This space promotes time for self reflection- and nurtures our desire to go inward and find the beauty that is the healer nestled within us all.

We will dive deeper into the Asanas (yoga poses), exploring the healing effects that they have on the body and mind and learning to sequence effectively for those experiencing grief and trauma.

We will learn about inclusive language and words and phrases that might trigger negative self talk and how to find a softer and gentler way to guide your students through a class that feels safe and nurturing.

We will also learn that ALL feelings and emotions are necessary and part of the natural process – our job is to ALLOW safe space for those emotions -giving our students and ourselves the safety to be unapologetic for who we are and what we are experiencing.

Our daily morning yoga practice, although more dynamic in nature, will be geared to fit the needs of all who attend the training. Daily meditation/plant meditation, silent walks and journaling practices will be included.

Daily workshops will be provided – these workshops will give students the chance to learn safe sequencing for those new to yoga or those recovering from injuries. We will cover the basics of teaching chair yoga and using props to make poses accessible in all bodies – and for those recovering from injuries.

While you will learn A LOT during this training, we also promise that you will be given time to rest, relax, and connect – to Mother Nature and to each other – TIME to laugh and to cry and TIME to just sit and BE- TIME to feel and to soak it all in. This TIME is also part of the process – TIME to ENJOY!

Your Instructor – Angela Ogle, E-RYT 200, YACEP

Angela is passionate about Yoga and has been teaching since 2019. Actually, Angela is passionate about a lot of things. When you meet her you will agree, she is definitely someone who wears “her heart on her sleeve” and her excitement and enthusiasm can be contagious.

She was reintroduced to Yoga at a grief retreat in 2017. She lost her only son, Ryan- 21, in 2015 and was struggling to find her purpose again. It was then that she discovered how comforting her yoga mat could be. She felt connected to something again and Yoga really gave her a space to feel safe with all she was feeling and experiencing. She later decided this was a gift she wanted to share with others.

Since 2019 Angela has taught in many venues around the world – in studios, at grief retreats, in senior living and memory care facilities, in treatment and recovery centers, and in luxurious resorts and spas in some pretty exotic and remote spaces.

She found, among her many passions, she enjoyed working in yoga teacher trainings the most – she loved learning more and more about yoga – the origins – the ins and outs and the whys – she loved supporting and nurturing new yoga teachers as they walked through this journey of learning more about yoga and ultimately themselves. She has assisted with several 200 and 300 hour trainings around the world and now.

She is ready! – and Yoga Alliance has given her the go ahead and the acknowledgment with her E-RYT and YACEP -to teach this 50 hour Yoga teacher training for Grief and Trauma Awareness.

She is very excited to have you join her for this training – which proves to be a safe space for us all to learn, grow, and FEEL together!
