half-day workshops

These introductory 4-hour workshops blend foundational theory with practical application, often incorporating optional seated yoga practice, deeper conversations, and reflective practice elements.

 

They are designed for varied audiences, and no prior in-depth trauma-informed practice or yoga experience is typically required (though some may be more accessible for workplaces with existing trauma-informed care/practice, or have previously completed Workshop A).

 

Learners will gain insights into key trauma-informed concepts and begin to explore their application in various contexts through social learning and reflective practice.

A. Understanding Trauma + Trauma-Informed Practices Through Trauma-Informed Yoga:

Explores fundamental trauma concepts, the body-brain connection, Window of Tolerance, and initial integration into yoga and beyond.

 

B. Collaboration Conversations: An Introduction to Trauma-Informed Thinking for Teams:

Equips teams with essential skills to understand trauma and trauma-informed practice, highlighting its impact on behaviour and communication and exploring practical strategies to foster safety, empathy, and trust in interactions.

 

C. The Nervous System Rules: Exploring Choice and Decision Making Somatically:

Examines the neuroscience of choice in trauma recovery and practical strategies for increasing choice-making capacity through somatic awareness.

 

D. Power, Safety + Non-Coercion in Trauma-Informed Practice:

Explores power dynamics, safety-building practices, and the application of non-coercion principles in movement and other spaces.
