Trauma informed teaching: How to create more inclusive and safer spaces.

With Masha Schmidt

‘Trauma informed yoga’ is a popular phrase, but what exactly does it mean for us as teachers and students? What types of training and support can we put in place for ourselves to become more informed? As individuals, how can we mitigate systemic cultures of harm?

In this workshop, Masha will offer her experience as a teacher and practitioner to define ‘trauma informed care’, and the ethics of that phrase. Our time together will include:

• Creating a ‘brave space’ vs a ‘safe space’

• Boundaries, Consent, and Scope of Practice in Yoga

• How to cultivate more inclusive spaces and how to repair unintentional harm

This workshop is for anyone that truly wants to create the safest spaces for the most people. Please come with the willingness to explore cultures of harm and the intention to find strength in vulnerability. We will create a brave space together.
