EBOOK
Teach yoga that actually lands in the body — not just in the mind.
A free guide for yoga teachers who want to move beyond vague, bypassing cues and teach grounded, inclusive, science-rooted classes.
Learn 30 somatic cues that create real embodiment, safety, and nervous-system connection.
If you’re a yoga teacher who’s tired of airy, disembodied cues — and you want your students to actually feel the practice in their bodies — you’re in the right place. Most cues keep students in their heads, performing shapes, overthinking alignment, or dissociating altogether. Your people are craving something deeper: sensation, safety, embodiment, and nervous-system awareness. This guide gives you the language to create that — immediately.
CUES FOCUSED ON:
- Replacing common woo woo or bypassing cues
- Trauma aware somatic cues for safety
- Somatic cues for feeling interoception (in the body) and not overthinking
CUES THAT WORK FOR:
- Bigger bodies
- Older attendees
- Queer people
- Neurodivergent students
LEARN:
- Cues that support nervous system regulation, not overwhelm it
- How to guide students into their bodies with honesty, clarity, and integrity
STUDENTS REPORT:
You'll walk away with cues you can use in your very next class and students will feel the difference instantly. Clarity, calm and connection are felt immediately

This course was completely amazing and life-changing. There is so much more to it than just yoga. It was intense, and a lot of emotional and physical work, but totally worth it. It would be worth taking even if you did not want to teach yoga. It is great to be part of such a wonderful group of people, and to have learned from such great teachers

Colynn's warmth, strength, vulnerability and beautiful laugh + her professional experiences as a yoga instructor and spiritual guidance made learning such a meaningful experience. There truly were no wasted minutes throughout the program, with each session packed with things to take in.

Her knowledge and strength, she is just so confident and inspiring. On another note she is vulnerable and the way she shared her experiences really resonated with me. Her anatomy and medical background is just outstanding.
Michelle Miller
500 hour Yoga Teacher
She was very knowledgeable about the poses and Anatomy. I appreciated how she taught us to be safe in the poses and listen to our bodies and what felt good to us. She was one of the best teachers I have ever had in any training or retreat. I loved how she made each class fun and very interesting. She made each of us feel welcome and gave us chances to talk and go deep. I am glad that I choose this training because of her!

I’ve spent over 25 years in the yoga world — and 17 years as an ER nurse — merging the science of the nervous system with the philosophy of yoga and somatics. My approach is grounded, inclusive, trauma-aware, body-friendly, and rooted in lived experience. I teach teachers how to feel their own bodies first — so they can teach with integrity, not performance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this only for advanced teachers?
Not at all. These cues work whether you’ve taught for 3 months or 20 years. They help any teacher create more safety, embodiment, and depth in their classes.
What is somatics?
Somatics is the practice of tuning into the felt experience of your body - your sensations, breath, emotions, patterns, and nervous system signals - in real time. It’s not about performing a shape or “fixing” your body. It’s about listening to it.
Somatic practices help you notice:
- tension patterns
- holding or bracing
- internal sensations (interoception)
- emotional cues
- your current nervous system state
And from that awareness, you can respond with more choice, safety, and self-trust. In yoga, somatics bridges the gap between doing a pose and feeling your body. It brings the practice out of the mind and into lived, embodied experience — which is where real regulation, healing, and insight happen.
Is this somatics or yoga?
Both — I weave yoga philosophy, functional anatomy, and nervous-system science into somatic cueing. Everything in this guide supports grounded, inclusive teaching that feels real and accessible.
Will this help me feel more confident when I teach?
Absolutely. When you have language that supports embodiment and nervous-system regulation, you naturally feel clearer, more grounded, and less stuck in your head — and your students feel that too.
Do I need to know a lot about anatomy to use these cues?
Nope. These cues are simple, actionable, and effective — and if you do want to dive deeper, my Advanced Anatomy + Somatics Program gives you the full “why” behind all of them.
