A Space to Belong

So many people come to this work carrying quiet questions:

Will I be welcome here?
Is this for me if I’m not a yoga teacher?
Can I show up just as I am?

Trauma-informed practice begins with belonging.
With creating spaces where people don’t have to perform, fix, or push -
but are invited to arrive, soften, and listen.

This training is held as a learning community.
One where curiosity is encouraged, lived experience is honoured,
and every body is welcome.

✨

“A beautiful, affirming and inclusive learning experience delivered with warmth, love and care.
Nic is amazing - and her gifts will resonate with me in both teaching practice and life.
Thank you xx”
- Past participant
✨

Over four days, we move slowly and intentionally -
learning, practicing, resting, reflecting, and integrating together.

There are no assessments.
No teaching practicum.
Just time to embody the work first, so it can be lived and shared from a place of felt sense and integrity.

This space is for:
• Yoga teachers and health professionals
• Carers, parents, educators, and support workers
• Anyone drawn to trauma-sensitive, nervous-system-aware ways of living and caring

For every body.
For every human.

Jan–Feb 2026 - (31st January & 1st February and 14th & 15th February - weekend pause in between for integration)
25hrs Yoga Alliance Accredited.
Open to yoga teachers, health professionals & anyone drawn to trauma-informed practices.

Why Trauma-Informed Matters

There is a quiet truth many of us were never taught.

That the body remembers.
That the nervous system is always listening.
And that even with the best intentions, our words, tone, pace, or expectations can unintentionally overwhelm or dysregulate those we care about - including ourselves.

Trauma-informed practice isn’t about getting it “right.”
It’s about learning to meet ourselves and others with greater awareness, compassion, and choice.

This training exists because so many of us - teachers, carers, clinicians, parents, partners, humans - want to show up with care… but were never given the tools to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

✨

“This course is a great introduction to Trauma-Informed Yoga.
Nicole is an amazing teacher and wonderful soul.
I can’t wait to share this knowledge in my classes.”
- Lee, past participant
✨

This 25hr introductory Trauma-Informed Yoga Training is not just about teaching yoga.
It’s about learning how to:
• Listen to the nervous system
• Slow down instead of push through
• Respond rather than react
• Create safety - in our bodies, our relationships, and our communities

The space I hold is inclusive.
For every body.
For every human.
Showing up as you are.

Walk for Peace in the USA has moved me deeply.
It has brought me to tears.
Venerable monks walking ~ silently, steadily ~ asking for nothing.
No selling.
No convincing.
No agenda.
Just the simple, profound act of walking.

2,300 miles across the USA toward Washington DC, carrying a message urgently needed:
Peace is built slowly.
Peace is built through presence.
Peace is built one mindful step at a time.

Walking beside them is Aloka ~ the Peace Dog ~ a former stray who found the monks on a walk in India and has walked with them ever since. Quiet and unwavering. No agenda. Just loyalty, calm, and an unspoken understanding ~ as if peace itself chose four legs and decided to walk too.

There is something deeply humbling ~ and regulating ~ about witnessing this.
In a world so loud, so reactive, their silence speaks directly to the nervous system.

Those who walk alongside them, even for a few steps.
Those who pause, bow, cry, or whisper thank you.
And those of us watching from afar ~ we are all being touched by this field of peace.

This walk reminds me that peace doesn’t need force or performance.
It doesn’t need to shout.
It lives in the body.
It lives in how we move across this earth, and how we choose to meet one another.

May we keep remembering.
May we keep walking ~ gently, together. ✌🏽🩵🙂🙏🏻

Just like the ocean…
there is an ebb and flow to life.

To the body.
To the mind.
To the nervous system.

Living and teaching from a trauma-informed lens
invites us to meet these waves
with awareness, care, and compassion.

Present Moment ✨
We begin here.
Using invitational language ~ with ourselves and with others ~
to gently orient to now.
To feel safe in this moment…
without needing to change or fix anything.

Choice & Agency ✨
Trauma-informed practice offers options.
An invitation to ask:
What feels right for me, right now?
Rest… movement… stillness…
Honouring the wisdom of the body
and the choice to listen.

Effective Action ✨
With curiosity and kindness,
we explore what supports us in this moment.
Feeling the effect of our choices ~
in the body… in the breath… in the nervous system.
Learning to respond, rather than react.

Rhythm ✨
On the mat, we explore rhythm through
breath, movement, and stillness.
And over time…
this helps us find rhythm off the mat ~
in our work, rest, sleep, nourishment,
and the natural flow of energy in and out.

Living and breathing these four principles
becomes a way to care for our own nervous system…
and to support co-regulation with others.
It’s how we learn to hold space ~ in the waves…
not against them.

If you’re feeling called to deepen this way of living and teaching, you’re warmly invited to join my 25-Hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training. (20hours inperson and 5hours self study, home practice.)

No assessments or no teaching practicum.

Everybody welcome 💙🙏🏻

New Year’s Eve Reflection | Planting Intentions for 2026

As the year draws to a close, many of us begin to gently reflect…
Not on resolutions, but on how we want to live, feel, and care in the year ahead.

As I begin to plant intentions for 2026, I’m reminded that trauma-informed practice isn’t just something we teach - it’s a way of living.

It’s a return to true self-care - not another thing to strive for, but a compassionate way of being with ourselves and others.
A way of learning how to support burnout, tend to nervous system fatigue, and create rhythms that are sustainable in real life.

It’s learning how to:
• Care for ourselves and our loved ones with greater awareness and compassion
• Understand and respond from the nervous system - especially in the heat of the moment
• Live by the four key principles: present moment, choice, effective action, and rhythm
• Map our own nervous system so we can recognise when we’re regulated, activated, or needing support
• Develop practical tools, strategies, and self-care practices that actually work in daily life
• Build connection and community, learning alongside others who value depth, care, and presence

This work supports how we show up - as teachers, carers, therapists, parents, partners, and humans navigating a complex world.

This training is intentionally spacious and supportive - there are no assessments and no teaching practicum.
Instead, it offers time to slow down, learn, reflect, and embody practices for yourself first.

If this resonates, you’re warmly invited to explore my upcoming 25-Hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training.
