This practical workshop introduces foundational prenatal considerations through a trauma-informed lens.The session emphasizes supportive language, respectful communication, meaningful choice, appropriate adaptations, and the creation of a class environment in which an expecting mama can feel included without being unnecessarily singled out or treated as fragile.Participants will explore how to respond more confidently when a pregnant student arrives in a general yoga class and how to recognize when deeper prenatal knowledge or specialized support may be needed.Each workshop in the Trauma-Informed Series stands on its own. Participants do not need to attend all three sessions.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNWelcoming an expecting mama into a general yoga classUsing supportive, clear, and non-alarming languageAsking relevant questions without becoming intrusiveOffering choices and common movement adaptationsRespecting the student’s autonomy and lived experienceAvoiding assumptions about pregnancyConsidering pacing, transitions, positioning, and comfortCreating inclusion without drawing unnecessary attentionRecognizing the scope of a general yoga teacherTrauma-informed prenatal yoga is not only about which postures to modify.
