Workshop Details & Registration

Trauma-Informed CranioSacral Therapy (CST): Listening Through the Nervous System

A gentle, light-touch manual therapy to soothe the nervous system, release deeply held physical and emotional tension, and support trauma resolution.

with Kaitlynn Hardy

This 2-hour workshop is focused on the practice of CranioSacral Therapy (CST). CST aids in trauma recovery by facilitating the release of stored stress and tension within the body helping the nervous system return to a state of balance for those dealing with the lingering effects of trauma.

CST is a gentle, hands-on technique that works with the nervous system and fascia to support the body’s relaxation, regulation, and natural ability to restore balance. Utilizing light pressure to regulate the nervous system, CST supports transition from a state of fight-flight-freeze-fawn to a calmer, rest and digest state.

There is no expectation to share personal experiences. All practices are invitational, and participants are encouraged to rest, modify, or opt out at any time.

This space is designed to be inclusive, grounding, and respectful of diverse experiences.

All levels of practitioners are welcome. Registered Yoga Teachers will receive Yoga Alliance continuing education contact hours for attending (our YACEP profile is here).

  • Water

  • Journal and pen (optional)

  • Wear clothes that are comfortable for movement (we recommended light layers)
