Trauma Informed Yoga Workshop with Deirdre Guthrie

Discover a mindful approach to yoga designed to support those navigating acute, chronic, or complex stress. In this workshop, we’ll explore how trauma can be held in the body and learn tools to create a safe, empowering environment for healing.

You’ll practice using invitational language, clear and concise cues, and techniques that foster trust, grounding, and self-regulation. Together, we’ll discuss the concept of post-traumatic growth and how yoga can help students gently reconnect with their bodies.

Each participant will leave with a personalized blueprint for creating “safe, brave” spaces—whether in their own practice or when guiding others.

This workshop welcomes students of all levels as well as yoga teachers.
