Next intake2027, dates TBA
Throughout the program, you’ll explore the continuum of trauma awareness to trauma responsiveness, learning how trauma impacts the body and mind, and how to create safer, more supportive environments for your students. We focus on relevant theory of trauma-informed practices and the body/brain, practical sessions, personal reflective practices, and facilitation opportunities to equip you with the skills to integrate trauma-informed principles into your work.
You’ll gain insights into trauma-sensitive cueing, creating psychosocially safe spaces, and focus on your own self-care routines as a teacher.

What you’ll walk away with
01
Deepen understanding of trauma
You’ll be learning how trauma affects the body and mind, the range of trauma informed concepts and trauma informed yoga.
02
Enhance your trauma-aware/informed facilitation skills
You’ll walk away with practical skills to weave trauma-aware or informed practices into your yoga classes, considering how tools like cueing, psychosocial safety considerations, and other trauma-informed practices best fit your unique teaching/space holding style and the community you support.
03
Using reflective practice, create a plan for growth & learning
With a better understanding of the continuum of trauma-informed practices you’ll have opportunity for personal reflective practice in considering how you may weave the teachings that resonate into your life, community and teaching.
04
Build your own self-care toolkit
You’ll learn how to look after yourself in your ongoing learning journey on trauma and trauma-informed yoga teaching practice. We acknowledge that being trauma-informed is a practice and requires self care throughout this journey and to best show up for our students self care is paramount.
Who is this for
For anyone who holds space
If you are curious about how trauma-informed principles can shape the spaces you hold, this workshop offers valuable insights and practical tools for weaving that thinking into your facilitation. This session is suitable for anyone who teaches, moves alongside, or supports others in a yoga or movement context, whether you are just beginning or looking to refine an established practice, benefiting both your own development and your capacity to support a wider range of students.
No previous experience is necessary, only a curiosity about how small, intentional shifts in your facilitation can make a meaningful difference to the people in your space.
Expect expansion
Theory, practice and presence
This workshop invites you to explore the intersections of trauma science and embodied facilitation, providing both a theoretical grounding and a practical path to deepening how you hold space for others. By developing your understanding of how trauma and chronic stress show up in the body, you can begin to cultivate the conditions for safer, more empowering environments, without needing to know or identify anyone’s specific history.
