Beyond the Muscles: Trauma Informed Teaching for Pilates Teachers

In this workshop you will learn:

• How the nervous system responds to stress and trauma — and how this can affect posture, breath, muscle tension, focus, learning, and movement patterns

• How trauma-informed principles can shape Pilates teaching, including language, pacing, cueing, touch, choice, and class structure

• Practical ways to create classes that feel safer, more supportive, and more effective for a wide range of clients

• The teacher’s role in supporting safety and confidence without treating trauma or becoming a therapist

• Somatic self-care tools to support your own nervous system regulation, grounding, boundaries, and sustainability as a teacher

  Being trauma-informed means understanding that stress, trauma, overwhelm, pain, and life experience can shape how people learn, communicate, move, relate, and respond. It means using that awareness to create environments that support safety, choice, connection, and care.
