There’s a season when the soul asks for depth, when surface practice stops being enough. Yoga Teacher Training has been a time-tested path for that next layer of steadiness, clarity, and inner strength.

At Soul of Yoga Institute, most students don’t join to teach. They come to regulate their nervous system, strengthen their bodies, find spiritual grounding, and reconnect with a community that supports real growth.

If you’ve been feeling that quiet pull toward something deeper, honor it.
Your practice may be ready to take its next breath.

As the northern hemisphere moves into the colder months and the days grow shorter, Ayurveda reminds us that this is the time to nourish, ground, and warm ourselves so we can show up fully for our students and our own practice. Late autumn and early winter naturally increase dryness, cold, and restlessness in the body.

Here are five essentials to keep your inner fire steady as the world speeds up: oil the body daily, eat warm nourishing foods, honor consistency, invite warmth and mindful breath, and let the season hold you.

“There’s a moment after a Reiki session when someone opens their eyes with that soft, relaxed, astonished look. The one that says, “I wish everyone could feel this.”

After more than twenty years, that feeling never stops. Reiki continues to reveal how deeply the body and nervous system respond when energy channels open and we reconnect with our innate healing intelligence.

For over a decade, Erika has offered the Reiki Intensive Training at The Soul of Yoga, and the same truth rises every year: we need this work now more than ever.
We all need comfort, safety, ease, and the reminder that we play a profound role in our own well-being.
Reiki helps us remember that our relationship to healing is just as powerful as any modality we seek out.

Through a blend of traditional Usui Reiki (Mikao Usui) and non-traditional teachings from Diane Stein, this training becomes a deep study of the self, a system of hand positions, and a direct connection to life force energy.
It isn’t tied to any belief system except the understanding that healing is possible, for yourself and for others.

This training has welcomed hundreds of incredible souls, many of whom return as assistants and dear friends. The community that forms each year is part of the healing itself.

If you feel called to Reiki, this is your invitation to listen.

✨ Reiki Training Information Session
December 12 • 7-8pm PT
Live on Zoom (link sent upon RSVP)
Free to attend.

The session will walk you through the upcoming Reiki Intensive Training beginning January 9th 2026, open to everyone, whether you’re brand new to energy work or experienced in it.

As a yoga teacher, you have more impact than you realize.

Coregulation is the syncing of physiology, an embodied form of empathy where one nervous system reflects another.

In research labs, when two people are connected to ECGs, cardiography, and blood pressure monitors, their rhythms literally begin to match. And studies show we sync to the person of perceived higher social status.
In the yoga room, that’s the teacher.

So when you walk in confident, calm, warm, and welcoming, your students’ nervous systems feel it. Your regulation becomes the anchor that helps them regulate themselves.

This is one of the most powerful, unseen ways yoga transforms lives.

Have you ever noticed how your students seem to feel what you feel, even before class begins? That calm, grounded presence (or frazzled rush) doesn’t go unnoticed by their nervous systems.

This is coregulation. The biological process by which our nervous systems attune to one another. As a yoga teacher, your students unconsciously mirror your breath rate, tone, and overall energy.

Your body is always teaching, even before your first cue.

Here’s a 60-second pre-class reset to help you arrive regulated and ready:
1️⃣ Feel both feet on the ground
2️⃣ Relax jaw and shoulders
3️⃣ Exhale longer than you inhale
4️⃣ Set one intention for tone (“slow and steady”)

When you’re regulated, your students follow. When you soften, they soften.

That’s the quiet science of teaching presence, and the essence of yoga in action.
