Trauma Sensitive Facilitaiton
We will explore the concept of Trauma Sensitive, Healing Focused Facilitation by discussing what trauma is on an anatomical level and how this manifests in our bodies and mental states. At Soulwork, we believe that a trauma sensitive approach to Yoga is the only approach.
As we learn about the anatomical and energetic body systems, and their complexities, we are able to gain an understanding of how trauma expresses itself in young people. We discover how yoga can be extremely helpful in managing triggers so that we move from reactive to responsive states of being. We will explain cueing, behavior management and more, all from a trauma sensitive lense. Although we cannot assume or assure that anyone feels safe, we can empower them to use their voices and take affirming actions to self-regulate while co-regulating in groups.
Student love…
“You simply can’t go wrong with any of SoulWork’s offerings, they’re so nourishing to the soul. I have been searching for an authentic meditation program for awhile. Something that’s from a lineage that has roots which is actually more rare than you would assume. This was it! I feel confident and proud about sharing this medicine with others.”
- Dusah
“I have participated in several training with Soulwork and I loved them all. This course very very grounded and the knowledge was transmitted in a beautiful, loving and super clear way that was easy to understand and practice. The portion on how to teach these techniques to others was really well structured, clear and concise but also very complete and easy to understand. I will most certainly do another course with Soulwork.”
— Piroska
