The Trauma Resource Institute (TRI) is a nonprofit health organization devoted to cultivating trauma-informed and resiliency-focused individuals and communities throughout the world. By building local capacity in diverse communities both nationally and internationally, access to treatment of trauma and stress is expanded, and resolution strategies can be developed to respond in a culturally respec

tful and appropriate way. As a trauma educational organization we are committed to the following values:

Every individual, child, and adult has a natural-born resiliency. Individuals are entitled to interventions that are gentle, effective, and culturally sensitive. Education and intervention about the common reactions to traumatic and stressful experiences must be available to diverse populations and cultures. Treatment of individuals suffering from traumatic stress reactions must be accessible and affordable to all members of society. Enhancing the capacity of communities to provide for their own members rather than relying on outside "experts” creates resiliency–focused communities.

Together, Elaine and Heather explore how these
complementary, body-based approaches can help individuals and communities
strengthen resilience, regulate the nervous system, and support healing in the face of
stress, adversity, and trauma.
Drawing from years of experience serving diverse populations, Heather shares the vision
behind Yoga Village and its commitment to making trauma-informed practices
accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. Elaine and Heather discuss how CRM
skills naturally align with trauma-informed yoga practices that cultivate mindful
awareness, self-compassion, and a deeper connection to the body.
Their dialogue highlights the growing recognition that healing is not simply a cognitive
process but one that involves the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Through stories,
insights, and practical wisdom, they explore how integrating CRM and trauma-informed
yoga can help create safer, more compassionate communities where individuals can
rediscover their strengths and capacity for well-being.
