Course Features

The imprints of trauma are likened to a wave that tirelessly gathers momentum and at times breaks hard. These imprints can be reminiscent of low tides, seemingly serene yet with a harsh undercurrent, destabilising the ground beneath us.

Reverberations of these experiences can feel immensely harmful and can appear as a lasting identity.

Through yoga, somatic, and meditative practices, we create the possibility of meeting these reverberations with gentle awareness, agency, and with safety infused.

Developing awareness of our multi-dimensional nature provides many pathways to understanding what calms the intensity of triggers, clears the patterns that challenge perception, and ultimately expands our experience of stability.

This course will provide an education of the western mapping of our physiology, for example, we will learn about the nervous system and its magnitude of roles within us, the brain, our tissues and more. Alongside this we will learn a synergy of hatha yogas esoteric systems, what prana is and how these subtler qualities are showing up through the western lens and through practice.

We will lightly explore what can commonly emerge from trauma such as disturbed sleep, poor digestion, increased anxiety etc and with a wholistic perspective and with a gaze through the lens of yogas; pancha kosha model we will learn techniques to cultivate balance.

Re-learning to read the messages of the body and responding with your innate intelligence will be nurtured throughout this course with deep consideration and respect for the patterns already held with in the mind, body and breath.

This course combines education, theory, and practice, all tailored to best support each participant, making it vastly accessible. A variety of movement, sound, and breathwork practices will be shared, all held within the beautiful framework of yoga philosophy.

The goal is to increase awareness and provide practical, tangible tools to nurture sthira sukha—steadiness and space—at any given moment.

This course does not minimise the devastation of trauma. Instead, it seeks to equip you with tools to alleviate its lingering effects, offering a pathway toward healing and resilience.
