Trauma-informed Yoga training

Yoga for building resilience & supporting community

20h online CPD training for Yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners.

Support individuals in reconnecting with their sense of Self, empowering them to engage more fully with life. Living in today’s world requires immense courage. Many people experience anxiety, overwhelm, anger, stress, and a sense of disconnection from themselves and their communities. In this training, you will explore how Yoga, breathwork, somatic movement, and resourcing practices can cultivate greater nervous system regulation and resilience. These tools can benefit not only your students, but also your own wellbeing – helping you to feel more grounded, present, and nourished in your practice.

Feeling so grateful and blessed for having such an amazing and inspiring teacher who took us on this Thai Massage journey.

SO MUCH OVERWHELM

WHY THIS MATTERS

Are you noticing more people in your classes experiencing stress, anxiety, or overwhelm – and feeling the weight of holding space for them?

Nervous system dysregulation can manifest in various ways, including a lack of commitment, agency, or consistency. This may impact a person’s Yoga practice, making it challenging for them to even step onto the mat.

Many Yoga teacher trainings offer limited education on the nervous system or on practical tools for regulation. This 20-hour course aims to bridge that gap by providing a foundational understanding of the nervous system, along with effective practices to promote regulation and resilience.

When someone chooses to attend a Yoga class, it’s a powerful opportunity to offer them tools, encouragement, and new perspectives that can support meaningful change in their lives.

HOW IT UNFOLDS

Course overview

This 20h course (16 contact hours + 4 hours of self-study) is made up of practice, discussion, exploration, theory, tools, online learning and reflection. As much as it is intended to be a learning opportunity to up-level your skills as a Yoga teacher and community facilitator, it also offers a chance to connect with your peers, to have important conversations, to receive support, to nourish your own nervous system, and to reflect on your personal growth.

How can we promote compassion and restore a sense of wholeness through our practice? What are the tools to help us navigate life’s challenges with more ease? Regaining more of a sense of Self will affect the way you show up in community.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

Who is this training for?

This training is ideal for

Qualified Yoga teachers who recognise that understanding the nervous system is essential to creating more supportive and accessible classes;
Those who feel they lack the tools to foster a safer practice environment;
Dedicated Yoga practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding and personal practice;
People working in environments where sharing nervous system regulation tools could benefit their clients or colleagues;
Those who are open to a non-dogmatic, inclusive approach to teaching Yoga;
Individuals with a solid self-practice.

You might especially enjoy this course if

You have experienced and benefited from somatic movement practices;
You value and engage in regular self-care rituals;
You consider yourself a good listener;
You enjoy learning and find excitement in topics like neuroscience, anatomy, and research;
You love dancing and moving your body - even if it’s just in your living room!

This course may not be the right fit if

You cannot commit to the 20 hours of training or are unable to attend live sessions;
You are currently navigating your own intensive trauma process. While some self-reflection is part of this course, the training is not designed to replace personal therapy. If you are in a deeply vulnerable space, this course could feel overwhelming and may not be supportive of your healing at this stage. I encourage you to prioritise your personal therapy before returning to explore this programme when you feel ready.

Any concerns?

Common Questions Answered

I understand that you might have some concerns before joining the training. Here are answers to the most common questions I get asked. If you have other doubts, please use the contact form to get in touch.

You can’t make all of the live classes

There will be recordings available of all the sessions, and you can watch them on replay. Ideally, you join at least 80% of the webinars live in person, so if you have to miss a small chunk, it’s not a problem. And, I also know that it suits some people much better to learn in their own time, and so this is not a hard and fast rule. If doing the majority of the classes on replay means it's more accessible for you, then that's good for me, too.

You feel Zoomed out

I hear you. I tried to schedule the classes with big enough breaks, so we really have time to eat, move, and get away from the screen. And each session will also have a short comfort break half-way through.

You would like to keep your camera off as you are not able to join from a quiet place

I will ask you turn your camera ON for the calls to promote trust in this shared space. If you are not able to join the calls from a quiet space, it will be better to watch the recording later. Some of the calls will be a practice, where you will need to have enough space to roll out your Yoga mat.

Is it really possible to learn this stuff online?

All of the classes have been created from well tested workshops and seminars, and have gone through several rounds of improvements. I teach online a lot, and have planned lots of additional time into the sessions, so the nature of working on Zoom can be accommodated. And the course will be limited to 12 people, which means we can all comfortably see each other and connect and communicate.

You have students dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety already and want to help them straight away

That was this course is for. Please start to apply what you have learnt straight away. This is the best way to really understand it and to embody the principles.
