Trauma-Informed Series
�Teaching Trauma-Informed Yoga to Special Populations

Trauma-informed yoga is not limited to one population or teaching environment. It is reflected in the language we use, the choices we offer, the structure we create, and the way we respond when a student participates differently than expected.

Edge Yoga School’s new Trauma-Informed Series includes three separate continuing education workshops:

🌱 Teaching Trauma-Informed Yoga to Children
Explore supportive language, developmentally appropriate choices, predictable transitions, creativity, movement, and participation without pressure. Continue toward the qualifying 95-hour RCYS training and, for eligible graduates, the RCYT credential.

🤍 Teaching Trauma-Informed Prenatal Yoga
Learn what to do when an expecting mama walks into your class, including respectful communication, common movement adaptations, meaningful choice, inclusion, and appropriate teaching scope. Continue toward the qualifying 85-hour RPYS training and, for eligible graduates, the RPYT credential.

🍵 Teaching Trauma-Informed Ayurveda and Yoga
Explore observation, curiosity, rhythm, environment, sensory experience, meaningful choice, and tea without rigid labels or assumptions. Continue into the complete RYS 500 Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher Training: Trauma-Informed and, for eligible graduates, the RYT 500 credential.

Each workshop stands completely on its own. Attend the session that best supports your teaching, or explore the complete collection.

Participants who complete a workshop receive Yoga Alliance YACEP continuing education hours and a certificate from Edge Yoga School.
