On her mat, she began to see her body not as a problem to solve, but as an intelligent, dynamic system to honor and befriend. In 2017, she deepened her commitment to this path by completing her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training with School Yoga Institute, followed by a 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Yoga Psychology with Ashley Turner. Brooke has dedicated over 3,000 hours to advanced trauma-informed and somatic study, including the Compassionate Inquiry program with Dr. Gabor Maté, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy through the Embody Lab, and Trauma-Informed Contemplative Leadership at the Nalanda Institute. She has also completed advanced studies in Somatic Nature-Based Trauma Therapy and leadership development through the Generating Transformative Change program at Pacific Integral Institute, and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Somatic Psychotherapy at Naropa University. Brooke co-founded the Trauma-Informed sect of School Yoga Institute and leads 200-Hour and 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings as well as Trauma-Informed Continuing Education programs. Her work has taken her internationally, guiding training and retreats across Central America, Asia, and Europe - including immersive offerings in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Peru, Thailand, Spain, and Portugal. For seven years, Brooke served as the Director of Yoga and Mindfulness Programs at Los Gatos Therapy Center, integrating trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness with teens and adults in residential and therapeutic care. Her facilitation is a compassionate, science-backed, and soulful approach to exploring embodiment. A California native now based in Boulder, Colorado, Brooke lives with her pug, Lotus. When she’s not teaching, you can find her dancing wholeheartedly, diving into new areas of study, or savoring deep conversations with friends. She is deeply inspired by shared humanity and believes that vulnerability, connection, and a sense of humor are essential pathways to a meaningful life. https://www.brookeashworthalexander.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c150e1ec9f3d0174685f76/45be4768-078a-4821-9d42-f7879d250c36/CEREMONY_16.jpg Contact - Contact Brooke!
