Join us for a 3-hour workshop designed to deepen your understanding of trauma-informed approaches and how to weave them into the way you guide, teach, and support others.
What to Expect
> Guided Yoga Practice led by Sylvie Lamothe to ground and embody a trauma-information practice
> Understanding Trauma: a presentation and discussion with Amilie Chaput, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), on what trauma is and what every space holder should know
> Practical Tools for Teachers and Leaders: tips and guidance from yoga educator Sylvie Lamothe on trauma-informed language, holding safe space, and building more inclusive, compassionate environments
Who It’s For & Why It Matters
This workshop is especially designed for yoga teachers, but also valuable for coaches, healers, and anyone who holds space for others. As teachers, our role isn’t to heal or fix trauma, but to create spaces where students feel safe, empowered, and respected in their own practice.
Why trauma-informed teaching matters:
> Many students carry unseen stories and experiences onto the mat.
> Simple choices in language, tone, and options can make a class feel supportive rather than triggering.
> Trauma-informed awareness builds trust and inclusivity, allowing every student to engage at their own pace.
> When students feel safe they will keep coming back to their mats or the space you offer
> Learning how to hold space with compassion helps you show up as a more confident, attuned, and ethical teacher.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of trauma, practical tools for teaching, and the confidence to create safer, more welcoming spaces for everyone who steps into your classes.
