# Event Details - **Event Name**: Teaching Trauma-Informed Yoga for Children - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 13 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 13 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Supportive language, meaningful choice, and clear structure for safer, more empowering children’s yoga classes.About this EventThis workshop is part of Edge Yoga School’s Trauma-Informed Series: Teaching Trauma-Informed Yoga to Special Populations.Children’s yoga involves more than adapting adult yoga postures for younger bodies. Teachers must also consider developmental needs, attention span, transitions, sensory experiences, classroom structure, communication, and the many ways children may choose to participate.This practical workshop explores how trauma-informed principles can be integrated into children’s yoga while preserving creativity, imagination, play, and movement.Participants will examine ways to provide clear expectations, developmentally appropriate choices, predictable transitions, and opportunities for participation without pressure.Each workshop in the Trauma-Informed Series stands on its own. Participants do not need to attend all three sessions.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNSupportive and invitational languageOffering choices without overwhelming childrenCreating a clear and predictable class structureUsing movement, storytelling, games, and creativityNavigating transitions and changing energy levelsObserving behavior without labeling the childSupporting participation without forcing performanceCreating more inclusive experiences in studios, schools, camps, and community programsTrauma-informed children’s yoga is reflected not only in what we teach, but also in the language we use, the choices we offer, and the way we respond when a child participates differently than expected.LEARNING OBJECTIVESBy the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:Use more supportive and invitational teaching languageOffer developmentally appropriate choicesCreate clearer transitions and more predictable class structuresRespond to different forms of participation without labeling or pressuring the childApply trauma-informed principles to children’s yoga classes and community programsA REAL-WORLD CHILDREN’S YOGA OFFERINGParticipants will examine this completed Eventbrite listing as a repeatable professional model.
