Through a trauma-informed approach, a yoga and mindfulness practice will allow the student to tailor the movements and guidance to their needs allowing them to focus on themselves and gain greater insights into how to manage and regulate their emotions and embrace what is possible. For some, it may be the ability to slow down, for others it may be the ability to speed up, and everything in between. By becoming a trauma-informed instructor, you are able to remove your ego from expectations of your offering as you devote yourself to providing what is needed and available to your students. You understand that the language you use during your guidance is crucial to empowering your students and you utilize a strong understand of how trauma forms, how it is released, and how it shows up in others as a foundation to your approach.
