Beyond the Muscles:

Trauma Informed Teaching for Movement Professionals

Movement is never only muscular.

Knowing the exercises matters. But exceptional teaching also requires knowing how to work with the person doing them.

In this professional training, you will learn:

  • How stress and trauma influence the nervous system—and how those effects may appear through breath, posture, muscle tension, attention, pain, learning, and movement patterns.

  • How to recognize possible signs of activation, overwhelm, disconnection, and protective responses without diagnosing or working outside your professional role.

  • How to apply trauma-informed principles to your language, pacing, cueing, touch, use of choice, and the overall structure of a movement session.

  • How to create conditions that support agency, connection, and learning while maintaining clear professional boundaries and scope of practice.

  • Somatic practices that deepen your own embodied awareness and can be thoughtfully incorporated into individual sessions, classes, and coaching.

“Allie’s trauma informed workshop gave me a completely different lens through which to approach my teaching.  She has an incredible ability to bring together nervous system awareness, somatic movement, language and embodiment in a way that makes you rethink not only what you teach, but how you teach it.  I put what I learned into practice the very next day, and my clients left looking more relaxed and almost as if they had been reset. “

"Allie’s Beyond The Muscles workshop was such a welcome addition to my teaching toolbox.  I walked away with real tips and tools to use with my clients and myself.  I left having a greater awareness of teaching through a trauma informed lens. Allie has a wealth of knowledge and is so willing to share it."

  • Awareness

    Movement isn’t about calories or appearance — it’s about being present in your body, here and now.

  • Healing

    Movement helps calm the nervous system, process stress, and restore balance that supports long-term well-being.

  • Daily Living

    True strength and mobility come from integration of body, brain, and nervous system — creating resilience and longevity in how you move and live.

  • Wholeness

    Movement reflects how we live and feel — it should nourish, not punish, building self-compassion, agency, and sustainable vitality.
