Bringing the body and somatic interventions into your practice framework can be a real game changer for the people you are working with experiencing the dizzying symptoms of trauma. In conjunction with your current interventions, having the skills and tool to help people recognise that they have a body and develop effective and practical strategies for self regulation can revolutionise their experience and outcomes with you. For 10 years I’ve been working as a researcher and educator in how to deliver best practice in trauma informed care; and have now become a practitioner delivering those healing services myself as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma informed yoga teacher. I offer an introductory package of 6x 90 minute personal consultation sessions to help you bring the body and somatic interventions into your practice frame work. During these personal consultation session I’ll share what research and best practice has found, bring knowledge and wisdom from my own clinical practice, and help you integrate this work successfully with your clients.

Bringing a trauma-informed lens and some of the foundational skills of trauma-informed yoga to your teachings can be a real game changer for people experiencing the uncomfortable symptoms of trauma in your yoga space. In conjunction with your current teaching style and linage, having the skills and tools to help people recognise that they have a body and develop effective and practical strategies for self-regulation can revolutionise their experience and
outcomes with you and their yoga practice.

I’ve been practising yoga for 20+ years and for the past 10 years I’ve been working as a researcher and educator in how to deliver best practices in trauma-informed care; and have now become a practitioner delivering those healing services myself as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma informed yoga teacher. I offer an introductory package of 6x 90 minute personal consultation sessions to help you bring a trauma informed lens and the foundations of teaching yoga to heal and restore into your offerings.

I offer tailored training packages for workplaces to help your team bring the body and somatic interventions into their therapeutic work.

This training is for any workplace or organisation working with people therapeutically (1:1 or in a group setting) to help improve health and wellness.

In particular, this is for professionals who want to move beyond talk therapies and learn how to confidently and effectively bring the body and somatic interventions into their work. Or workplaces that need a refresher in trauma-informed care.

Participants may be professional service providers, support staff, peer support workers and students on placement.

Ujjayi Yoga offers tailored wellness packages for workplaces to help your team mitigate vicarious trauma and restore goodness.
We all often work hard to support the health and well-being of our clients and participate in the workplace culture. It’s a well-known fact that empathic and caring people work in the mental health and community sectors, often because they want to help and give back after their own challenging experiences. Working with people impacted by trauma, violence, addiction, grief, disability, discrimination, inadequate housing and a whole myriad of social, mental, financial, racial, and emotional issues (to name just a few) is invaluable work that can have lasting and positive impacts in people’s lives. But it can also come at a cost to the worker, it can be heartbreaking, exhausting, and bring up our own challenging experiences. For workers in the sector, having the skills and strategies in place to mitigate vicarious trauma and the self-care time to restore goodness is essential.
