What trauma-informed yoga means at 3B
At 3B Movement in Provo, trauma-informed yoga means you stay in charge of your own practice: teachers invite rather than command, offer choices instead of instructions, and never touch you without consent. Every class at 3B is taught this way, and Trauma Sensitive Yoga is a dedicated class built around it.
Trauma-informed yoga in plain English
Teachers move at the pace of the room, use invitational language (“you might try…” rather than “do this”), and name what’s happening in the body without judgment. You decide how much you participate, how much you rest, and what feels right in the moment. Nobody is pushed.
How consent works in class
Hands-on assists are always optional. Many teachers use consent cards at the start of class so you can signal your preference silently, and you can decline any assist at any time without explaining why.
Trauma Sensitive Yoga class times
Trauma Sensitive Yoga is consent-based and choice-forward, with entirely optional touch. It is beginner friendly.

How 3B teachers are trained
3B’s 200-hour teacher training includes trauma-sensitive yoga principles and inclusive, trauma-informed language, and several teachers hold further training: for example, Charity Stockton holds 300- and 500-hour Yoga Therapy certifications. See every teacher’s credentials on our teachers page.
Is trauma-informed yoga therapy?
No. Trauma-informed yoga is a way of teaching movement, not therapy or a substitute for mental health or medical care. If you are working through trauma, it can sit alongside support from a qualified professional.
