Trauma-informed mindful movement workshop – Day two
1 October at 10:00 to 16:00
Building on the basic principles of safe movement that we explored in Day 1, this workshop will help you to identify the intentions and specific needs of your clients and support you to create a safe, balanced, accessible and engaging programme.
What is covered?
This online day intends to offer a space to discuss and create a sequence of mindful movements that will suit your population, particularly if standard mindful movement does not feel appropriate for your groups. For example, if:
- Your clinical participants have specific needs or movement limitations
- You have a broad range of movement abilities in your group
- Your participants don’t move easily/don’t move generally in their lives
We will identify the intentions and specific learning to meet your clients’ needs, and support you to create a safe, balanced, accessible and engaging programme.
While the teacher has some clinical experience, she may not have full knowledge of the issues affecting the people you may be working with. Your own understanding of their needs and challenges accessing mindful movement will be crucial in this process.
Who is this for?
This workshop is suitable for mindfulness teachers working in both clinical settings and with the general public.
Where?
The workshop will be online, and you will receive your link after you have booked.
