FOR YOGA TEACHERS – Understanding how to work with trauma is more important then ever. But understanding trauma – what it is, signs and symptoms, and theories – is only a first step. What’s key here is to know HOW IT TRANSLATES INTO OUR WORK WITH STUDENTS AS YOGA TEACHERS. Because let’s be honest – yoga and mindfulness are sold these days as practices that are good for many things – physical health and fitness, stress reduction, mental health and wellbeing, embodiment, spiritual transformation. That’s a lot of high expectations.   These days people coming to our sessions can present ..read more

. Autumn is happening all around us… Last Saturday I was outside of Canterbury in a little village in the middle of the fields. It was raining and the hills looked misty. The leaves on the trees started turning red and yellow. It was a great Autumn day.  And I was with a group of lovely women in a cosy yurt, with a wood burner throwing a warm and soothing light, a soft music playing and a little altar with candles, gift pouches and healing cards in the middle of the room.  We were gathered for Sacred Pause Day Yoga Retreat. A second one I hosted at the same place. But last time it ..read more

Two Types of skills you need to learn as a yoga teacher There are two types of skills you need to learn if you work as a yoga teacher/therapist, bodyworker or an embodiment practitioner/coach: your teaching/trade skills and your business skills With both of them there is no shortcut or overnight success – do not believe the hype. Those who become an overnight success often have been mastering their skills for 5, 10, 20 or even more years. They showed up day after day and at some point they reached a tipping point – that place where others recognise the depth of their mastery and skill, and ..read more

  A yoga teacher asked me recently what’s so different about our 80-Hr Trauma-informed yoga & Embodied resilience teacher training and mentoring course (TREY) – after all it’s just trauma-informed yoga and there are many training out there now teaching it.    I had to agree – I see many trauma-informed or trauma sensitive trainings popping up all the time on my feed.    So what makes it this training different?    > It’s delivered over 12 Modules with live online sessions.

. 5 tips for dealing with the current lockdown – especially if you’re getting triggered by the current situation We all know how important it is to connect with your body and it’s wisdom, and how compassion helps us to be kinder to ourselves and others.

. Ordinary Sacred Moments  I’ve been reflecting on the ordinary… all those little moments in life. The stuff that life is really made of. So how do I feel about ordinary? When I was young I used to run away from it. I wanted big experiences, huge feelings, cathartic releases. I wanted to achieve great things… I wanted to be an enlightened yogini, a great writer, an amazing healer, a powerful witch. But that was over 30 years ago… And over the years as I learned more about life and psychology and slowly started embody my own body and being, getting grounded and mindfully within the mome ..read more

. Do you know that VITALITY is another byproduct of responding skilfully to your needs? But… …maybe we need to start with defining what vitality is.  What I see is that in our society vitality is being portrayed as jumping out of bed in the morning and welcoming your day with open arms and a big smile on your face, being ready to conquer the world!  Well… In my eyes that’s a really bad way of looking at vitality. Yes, sometimes you can wake up and jump out of bed full of joy and wonder. But life is not like that all the time…   Sometimes you might struggle with your busine ..read more
