Holistic Self Trust Guide: Somatic Yoga for Empowered Living

This course is for everyone-whether you're a complete beginner, a returning practitioner, a yoga teacher seeking a more inclusive approach, or simply someone wanting a deeper connection to theirbody, mind, and spirit. It offers more than a typical introduction to yoga-it's a self-guided, holistic exploration of movement, breath, and embodiment that empowers you to reclaim your practice with autonomy, self-trust, and intention. Rooted in the foundations of Hatha Yoga and infused with somatic awareness, this journey invites you to explore movement and rest in ways that feel intuitive, creative, and deeply nourishing.

It provides a gentle and supportive space to connect with your senses-including those beyond sight-and to honour your body's wisdom. Created by a blind yoga facilitator with lived experience of chronic pain and sensory (dis)ability, this course emphasises trauma-informed awareness, accessibility, inclusivity, and the power of listening inward. You'll learn to embrace yoga not as a fixed form or performance, but as an evolving practice guided by sensation, breath, and your own inner rhythm.

You'll also be invited to join an online community space for encouragement, questions, and further inspiration. Honour the wisdom of the body, embrace creativity, and tap into the senses beyond sight-a fresh, holistic approach to beginning or deepening your yoga path.
