Creating Trauma-Informed & Recovery-Centered Healing Spaces

This session will address holistic and accessible ways to create trauma-informed and recovery-centered healing spaces. We will discuss how different forms of trauma, including racial trauma, impact both instructors and students in the classroom and the critical need for intersectional frameworks when discussing topics related to wellness, trauma, and recovery. 

There will be opportunities for visioning in both large and small group activities as we dive into real-world case studies. 

In this session, we will learn:

• The prevalence of trauma and addiction- and why this matters to yoga teachers, healers, and students.

• The critical need for intersectionality when discussing trauma and recovery.

• Recognizing and identifying trauma responses interpersonally and within the classroom

• How trauma-informed principles, recovery, and radical self-care ties into creating equitable and inclusive healing spaces on and off the mat

• Tangible tools for incorporating these principles into your teaching and interactions.
