Deepen your teaching with trauma-informed principles in this engaging 2-hour workshop. You’ll explore how trauma affects the mind-body connection and how to integrate practices like choice-making and interoception to support your community.
We’ll reflect on creating environments that prioritise safety and empowerment, without needing to know or identify specific trauma histories (it’s not talking about everyone’s trauma…).
Through guided movement practices and discussion, you’ll reflect on how you use these skills to approach your classes, and how you might like to evolve your practice in the future.
Whether you’re new to trauma-informed teaching or seeking to refine your skills, this session offers a solid introduction to making yoga accessible for everyone.
EXPECT:
● Learn how trauma affects the body and mind, and how it can show up in asana classes
● Understand how to create a safe and empowering space for more students, and reflecting on when you may not be able to
● Try trauma-informed movement practices that focus on choice and interoception
● Reflect on how you might like to add more trauma-informed practice or thinking into your own practice.
