50-Hour Somatic Yoga Teacher Training

 Live via Zoom | YACEP Certified | March 7–8, 21–22 & April 4 | 9 AM–5 PM PST Investment: $700



 ✨ Deepen Your Teaching. Transform Your Practice. Support True Healing.

 This 50-Hour Somatic Yoga Teacher Training is designed for yoga teachers, movement professionals, and dedicated practitioners ready to bring a new depth of awareness to their teaching and practice.
 
 In today’s world, students are seeking more than physical movement—they’re seeking regulation, release, and reconnection. Somatic yoga is the bridge that helps you offer that. Through trauma-informed education, nervous system science, and embodied practice, this training teaches you how to help students reconnect with themselves safely and powerfully.

 You’ll not only explore somatic practices for your own healing, but also learn how to weave this work into your classes, workshops, and retreats, or even make it the foundation of your teaching philosophy.  



🧘‍♀️ What Is Somatic Yoga?
 
 Somatic yoga is the art of listening deeply to the body. It shifts the focus from external alignment to internal awareness—helping practitioners reconnect to the wisdom that lives within.

 This practice blends modern neuroscience and trauma understanding with ancient yogic philosophy. Through movement, stillness, and breath, we awaken the body’s ability to release stored tension, integrate emotion, and restore balance to the nervous system.

 For yoga teachers, this is the next evolution—learning to guide from presence rather than performance, from sensation rather than shape.
 


 🌬️ Why This Training Matters for Teachers

 As teachers, our words, pacing, and presence shape the nervous system of every student in the room. Understanding the body’s responses to stress, trauma, and tension allows you to create safer, more inclusive spaces for healing.
 
 This training will empower you to:
 
  • Incorporate somatic principles into your teaching with confidence  
  • Create trauma-informed classes that invite awareness and self-agency
  • Support students through emotional and energetic release
  • Build classes, workshops, and retreats around nervous system healing and embodiment
  • Evolve your offerings to align with modern yoga needs—grounded, therapeutic, and transformational
