Join Giselle Shardlow, founder of Kids Yoga Stories, and Larissa Noto of The Lovely Little Lotus Yoga as they talk about an important topic for our community of yoga educators: “How do we ensure that our kids yoga classes are inclusive, accessible, and trauma-informed, so that all children feel seen, heard, and understood?”
From her unique experience as a lawyer and a yoga therapist, Larissa specializes in teaching trauma-informed kids yoga classes to ensure that the experience is accessible to all ages and abilities. Larissa explains what “trauma-informed yoga” means and why it’s important to be mindful of potential trauma in your classes.
Larissa also shares tips for yoga educators on how to use a trauma-informed lens when planning and teaching yoga classes. Don’t miss this incredibly important and informative discussion about the importance of being trauma-aware.
