100H Somatic Yoga & Embodiment Methods Teacher Training

The Somatic Embodiment Path

Somatic Yoga Teacher Training

A 12-week advanced teacher training for yoga teachers, space holders and body-based practitioners who want to teach from a deeply regulated nervous system, honour neurodiversity and weave somatic wisdom into every class they offer.

Language: English
Total Hours: 100H advanced training meeting Yoga Alliance Continued Education standards

The 9 Core Modules

  1. Neurobiology
    Understand stress, regulation, interoception and neuroplasticity in simple, embodied language so you can design classes that stabilize rather than overwhelm.

  2. Neuro-Inclusive Cueing & Sequencing
    Learn to teach for different nervous systems (ADHD, autism, high sensitivity, burnout), using clear cues, choice-based options and accessible, non-linear sequences.

  3. Embodiment Methods
    Build a toolbox of somatic practices: grounding, orienting, shaking, intuitive movement, breath explorations and self-contact rituals that restore felt safety.

  4. Polyvagal Adjustments
    Translate Polyvagal Theory into teaching decisions: voice, pacing, transitions and space design that invite ventral states and honour sympathetic/dorsal moments.

  5. Yoga Flows & Fascial Release (Yin Yoga)
    Explore Yin principles, fascial lines and gentle flows that support emotional processing and deep rest, with functional, trauma-aware and neuro-inclusive options.

  6. Nature Elements
    Work with earth, water, fire, air and space (or your chosen elemental map) as somatic qualities; bring nature into your classes, studios and retreats – even in urban settings.

  7. Positive Psychology Interventions
    Integrate values, strengths, self-compassion and meaning-making into your sessions in a grounded, non-bypassing way that honours both pain and possibility.

  8. Somatic Approach to Holistic Healing
    Position your work alongside therapy and medicine; learn red flags, referral pathways, ethical boundaries and how to create psychologically safer group spaces.

  9. Supportive Lifestyle Guidelines
    Offer simple, realistic lifestyle anchors (sleep, light, movement, rest, digital hygiene, nourishment) that support students’ nervous systems between classes.

  • This path is for you if you…

    • Already teach yoga, movement, meditation or hold therapeutic / coaching space

    • Read nervous system states more clearly (without diagnosing) and respond in the moment

    • Design somatic Yin and gentle flow classes that prioritise safety, choice and regulation

    • Teach with neuro-inclusive cueing and language that reduces shame and honours difference

    • Hold circles, rituals and retreats with stronger grounding and clearer boundaries
