Yoga from a Trauma-Sensitive Lens (For Teachers) with Carly McDade

We can never be certain about what experiences or backgrounds students bring with them onto their mat. Trauma-Sensitive yoga (TSY) can help create an environment where participants are encouraged to choose their way of moving throughout a yoga practice – compared to the ways that trauma takes one’s agency and control away. The TSY approach offers opportunity to engage in breathwork and movement, while incorporating key elements such as invitational language and interoceptive cueing (considering one’s internal, felt experience).

This workshop is designed for any yoga teacher curious about integrating Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY) components into their facilitation.

The afternoon will include:
🌀 An optional TSY practice (30-45 minutes)
🌀 Exploration of Neuroscience, Trauma, + Attachment theories and their influences on TSY development
🌀 Methodology
🌀 Q&A
