Introduction to Trauma Sensitive Yoga: A toolkit for Yoga Teachers 

“We all know that we all have different needs. Through yoga classes, as an internal practice, we can support student’s therapeutic process, especially if the student is dealing with heavy feelings of anxiety, depression and trauma.”

Trauma Sensitive Yoga Workshop is designed on the base of Trauma-Informed Therapy that recognizes that an individual could have had life experiences resulting in deep wounds which have a tremendous impact on the course of the life.

This workshop is an opportunity to educate yourself how to better understand and respond to the needs of students who may have experienced trauma, enhancing your teaching practice and making a lasting impact on their journey. Connect with other yoga teachers, and enrich your practice with the knowledge needed to support all students on their healing journey. Whether you're new to trauma-informed yoga or looking to deepen your expertise, this workshop will provide valuable insights and practical strategies.

TOPIC YOU WILL EXPLORE IN THE WORKSHOP:

  • The physiology of Trauma & Nervous System Regulation

  • Keys to teaching Trauma Sensitive Yoga

  • Yogic tools to support Trauma Healing

  • Practice, Learning & Feedback session

You will learn what is trauma and what are some of the main trauma responses and how to notice them in your students. You will also learn how to effectively help them manage difficult emotions and feelings of overwhelm if this may arise during the class.

This workshop includes a practical part in which we will learn how to create a trauma-sensitive class, what are some of the yogic tools which can be an excellent support for trauma healing and what are some of the common mistakes we can avoid.

Everyone will receive a manual and a personalized feedback on how they can improve their approach during a practical exercise. This workshop and trauma sensitive approach can be applied to any yoga style.

We look forward to seeing you there and supporting you in this essential aspect of yoga teaching.
