If we want to provide the absolute best results for our clients we need to at least be aware of that nervous system connection even if it’s for no other reason than to do no further harm. While it’s outside our scope to promise trauma resolution in any of our fitness classes, ideally we can use that knowledge to customize and create trauma informed classes and workouts that build resilience and get results rather than becoming yet another contributing cause of chronic stress and tension. I believe this is possible to do across any format.

Our Work IN today begins at the center. 

My kinetic Grace Integration program is designed around a compass rose with each of the cardinal points representing an aspect of trauma informed instruction and class design. But The most important cardinal point in the program is the center point. 

The center point represents you and where you are physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, spiritually, personally, professionally. You stand at the center. You as an instructor and coach need to begin this process of becoming trauma informed by first understanding the powerful influence you hold at the front of the room. That influence is why it’s so important for you to first understand what’s going on with your own NS.

As a part of my mission to bring a legacy of resilience through movement, each month you can join me for a hike on the bike trail followed by a free trauma informed vinyasa class back at the studio on Main Street. Go to savagegracecoaching.com to see the calendar and join my newsletter, Yoga Life on Main Street, to stay up to date on all the latest studio news, events and gossip. And now… on to this week’s episode.

It’s time to stop working out and start working IN. You found the Work IN podcast for fit-preneurs and their health conscious clients. This podcast is for resilient wellness professionals who want to expand their professional credibility, shake off stress and thrive in a burnout-proof career with conversations on the fitness industry, movement, nutrition, sleep, mindset, nervous system health, yoga, business and so much more.

I’m your host Ericka Thomas. I'm a resilience coach and fit-preneur offering an authentic, actionable realistic approach to personal and professional balance for coaches in any format.
