ChildLight Yoga Trauma Informed Yoga & Mindfulness for Youth Workshop
with Special Guest Instructor

August 2 (Friday)
at 8:00 am

Class length
480 minutes

As a yoga instructor, therapist, teacher, or anyone who regularly serves children, it is almost certain that you will encounter children who have experienced trauma in their young lives.

This introductory one-day workshop will present information on the two main types of trauma experienced by children, the basics of the neuroscience of trauma, signs, symptoms and common misdiagnoses, how to make your classes more trauma-informed, how yoga can be part of the healing process, and self-care. It includes practical tools presented in both lecture and experiential format.

If you work with children who have special needs and/or have experienced trauma, we also strongly suggest attending this workshop in conjunction with the ChildLight Yoga & Mindfulness for Diverse Abilities Teacher Training. Oftentimes the two courses are scheduled back-to-back at the same studio location enabling completion of 25 training hours in a three day period (applicable as contact hours for the 95-hour RCYT program and CEs for Yoga Alliance).

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This workshop is open to adults who work with children including yoga teachers, yoga students, preschool - grade 12 educators, physical education and health education teachers, school or family counselors, child psychologists, social workers, occupational, physical and speech therapists, camp counselors, recreation directors, pediatricians and any others who regularly work with children.
