Carly Graduated from the University of Winnipeg in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science Degree and obtained her Athletic Therapy Certification in 2011 from the Canadian Athletic Therapist’s Association. She has more than 4 years of clinical experience working with a variety of patients as well as working in the field with numerous sports teams. She enjoys working with all populations and inspiring others to improve their physical health and fitness. Being a gymnast growing up gave her the curiosity to learn about the human body and ultimately Athletic Therapy. Carly is passionate about teaching others about Athletic Therapy and that it is for everyone – prevention and care for your muscles, bones, and joints.

Thanks to our awesome client Joan for sharing her story and her advocacy of Pilates for osteoporosis as mentioned by Osteoporosis Canada.  Not all exercise is created equal.  We have small classes so you get lots of attention and personalized instruction…that is where alot of risk is… when you are left alone in a large group.  We have small group classes and private lessons and when you take your Pilates with our licensed physiotherapists, your Pilates is covered under your physio insurance.  Call 204.487.2287 or text 204.999.9984.  Make 2019 the year of not living dangerously.  Question exercising that is too fast,too hard, too much pressure and too big.  Pilates is the only adaptive and modified program.

This weekend training is for anyone who works with talk therapy and wants to introduce mindfulness into your practice, such as therapists, mental health practitioners, clinicians, social workers, psychologists. It is also for yoga teachers and Yoga in Schools program. It will give you the knowledge, skills, and practice you need to confidently share trauma sensitive yoga and mindfulness practices with those you serve.

For yoga teachers – learn more about trauma and and how you can make simple adaptions to your offering to make it more accessible to those living with a trauma or stress related disorder.

For therapists, mental health professionals, and trauma caregivers. You do not need to be a yoga teacher to share mindful movement and breath with your clients. Learn a somatic modality that you can use to help clients learn to self-regulate and tolerate present moment experience.

Workshop Objectives
• Understand the fundamental principles of yoga and appreciate why yoga is so well
suited to address the trauma condition.
• Learn a trauma sensitive yoga framework that can easily be adapted to help you
meet the individual needs of the people you work with.
• Learn and practice a trauma sensitive approach to any yoga pose or movement.
• Learn and practice a simple sequence of poses that you can share with your clients.
• Understand what makes a yoga session trauma sensitive and learn and practice how
to conduct a safe offering.
• Experience, learn, and practice a number of other techniques you can employ to
help clients self-regulate, including Yoga Nidra, a guided relaxation and meditation
technique.
• Understand the rationale for, and an approach to, forming and working with small
groups.

At the conclusion of this course, you may opt to purchase a $20 hard copy of “Teaching Trauma-Sensitive Yoga- A Practical Guide” by Brendon Abram, published by North Atlantic Books and distributed by Penguin

If you do not have the space in your practice to teach clients but are still interested in this training, Pilates Manitoba has a mind-body room.
