This specialised workshop introduces the fundamental tools and skillset required, to cultivate an environment of inclusivity within any public yoga class.

We will explore how to teach individualised yoga, through a functional and trauma-informed lens – honouring the importance of nurturing physical, mental and emotional safety and wellbeing.

Our goal is to ensure that all students feel welcome and safe in our class – regardless of age, sex, ethnicity or athletic ability –  to experience yoga as an empowering, nourishing and healing practice.

This workshop will include:

• Introduction to a functional approach to yoga (Skeletal variation and how to unpack Paul Grilley’s 14-10-7 model)
• The basics of a trauma-informed approach (Polyvagal theory, safety, attunement, trauma-informed language and space holding considerations)
• Integration: Yin & Yin-Yang Yoga Practice
