SOMATIC ARTS
200HR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
in-person
A 200HR INTENSIVE TRAUMA-INFORMED APPROACH TO SHARING THE ART OF YOGA
Through a Trauma-Informed lens,
Yoga transcends mere art or science...
it emerges as indispensable for the well-being of our world.
This 200 Hour Somatic Arts Yoga Teacher Training will weave through 4 cycles:
-
Stabilize
-
Metabolize
-
Visualize
-
Alchemize
The intention for this program is to invite students into a deep reflective space of Self Contemplation & Reflection and to encourage living Yoga off the mat through compassion and service.
The course focuses on building a sustainable yoga asana practice through sourcing a stable physical foundation, harnessing energy through the bandhas, and animating the breath in order to drop into true embodiment and presence.
Nichole is SO knowledgeable!
Sometimes I would just sit there and wonder how she has managed to learn and really embody all of this knowledge. She is such a strong teacher and you can feel her passion for this work. She was truly meant to this.

WHAT IS A "TRAUMA-INFORMED" PERSPECTIVE?
Each person harbors a distinct sense of safety.
By delving into the psycho-somatic dimensions of Trauma and its embodiment, we can embrace Yoga in a manner that respects each person's narrative.
Understanding dissociation and disembodiment through psycho-education equips us not only to grasp our own bodily experiences but also the diverse inner terrains and trauma responses of those we guide.
A Yoga space that acknowledges the intricacies of human existence fosters an environment where every practitioner can assert their bodily autonomy, regulate their nervous system, and make empowered choices.
A truly trauma-informed setting embraces the full spectrum of emotional realities while underscoring that embodiment involves discerning what feels right and safe in every unfolding moment.
This insight shapes how we hold space for others on their Yoga journey.
With compassion, curiosity, and an open heart, we expand our capacity to embrace the ebb and flow of human existence, both within ourselves and in others.
Practices like Yoga asana have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in trauma recovery.
As a result, we come to realize that we can alchemize our painful experiences into art and leverage them as a wellspring of liberation and genuine self-expression.
Nichole is a very knowledgeable and professional teacher.
She has the ability to guide you easily through a technical physical practice while incorporating a solid spiritual foundation and lesson. The majority of her classes are prepared thematically and progress over the course of multiple weeks, which are always an excellent experience.
