You don’t know what you don’t know. My goal is to share with you what I have studied, observed, implemented, and collected data on in regards to trauma-informed yoga teachings since 2019.

Understanding teaching considerations in a classroom of trauma survivors is only a piece of the pie. We must gain and establish empathy with the community and individuals that we are serving. It is crucial that we show up to our students with empathy, patience, persistence, and consistency.

That means, gaining an understanding of the types of trauma that exist in society and how it affects the brain and body. Trauma looks differently on everyone. There is no one size fits all. The same goes for treatment. What works on one person may not work on another. What affects one person may not affect another, even if they were in the same room at the same time when an event occurred.

We must take a look at society as whole and dive into the tough conversation on oppression and privilege. This may mean taking a look at your own.

This training is designed to help you keep your ‘ego at the door’ when showing up for trauma-survivors and those currently experiencing trauma. My guarantee to you is that you will leave this training with an entirely new approach to how you teach a yoga class, how you speak to others, and how you care for yourself. This will be achieved through group conversations, interactions, vulnerability, and mindfulness practices.

I can’t wait to meet you all.

Founder & YACEP, Nichole Schembre

I am a TCTSY  (Trauma Center, Trauma Sensitive Yoga) facilitator, WAE (Warriors at Ease) Level 1 instructor, and 500 hour registered yoga teacher through yoga alliance. I have been teaching yoga since 2018, and trauma-informed yoga since 2019. I have taught at homeless shelters, group homes, behavioral health hospitals, gyms, and yoga studios around the Reno-Sparks area. It is through these experiences that I have been able to learn and grow as an instructor, as I have found that the best teachers are my students.

I believe that a regular yoga practice can help to keep your mind and body healthy, happy, and able to contribute to society in a positive manner. Today, my days are centered around my daily yoga practice, a routine I plan to keep for as long as I am able. When not teaching yoga, I enjoy mixing “yogappropriate” soundtracks to accompany me during my practice, sewing my own clothing, spending time with my family and friends, and catching rainbows.

  • “I would just like to thank you both so very much for such a magnificent weekend. I learned so much this weekend. Not just about the Lotus method but about myself. All the time, preparation, love and energy you put into this training shows through and through. Thank you for all the care, kindness, love and openness that you infused so naturally. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world! You are inspiration!”

  • “After attending this YTT this weekend, I am becoming more aware of the way I speak (to myself and others), hold myself, and listen. I always believed that I was a victim of my circumstances. Not thinking that I could change, protect, or better myself. That I needed a “knight in shining armor” to rescue me. Today I know that is not the truth. I learned this weekend ways that I can calm my body and nervous system down with my breath. This is more information that I can share with my students. I believe these methods will not only make me a better yoga instructor, it is going to help me be a kinder, more gentle, human.”
