Discover how somatic practice and applied neurology support nervous-system regulation, embodiment and a renewed sense of safety after overwhelming or traumatic experiences.
About the training
This 50-hour training explores how somatic practices and applied neurology can support regulation, embodiment and healing after overwhelming or traumatic experiences. You’ll learn how the body stores experience, how behaviour is shaped by physiology and perception, and how somatic practice can restore safety, presence and self-connection. The program blends theory with experiential practice and offers tools you can integrate into yoga teaching, clinical work, counselling, coaching or your own personal practice.
What we’ll explore
Our studies follow two main streams of learning:
1. Contemporary Somatics
Practical tools that help people reconnect to their inner world with care and sensitivity:
- Fluid Focusing as a trauma-informed approach to mindfulness
- core somatic principles such as resourcing and pendulation
- Clinical Somatic Exercises that support regulation and embodiment
- therapeutic touch through the lens of C-fibre activation and its role in soothing and connection
2. Applied Neurology
How the brain interprets threat, and how simple nervous-system inputs can shift perception and state:
- how the vestibular and ocular systems influence regulation
- the roles of the insula and the brainstem in awareness, dissociation and safety
- why people respond the way they do — and how to introduce inputs that build stability and trust in the body
Who is this training for?
It’s suitable for yoga teachers, therapists, clinicians, bodyworkers and anyone in a supportive role. No previous yoga experience is required. It will especially benefit:
- mental-health professionals (psychotherapists, social workers, counsellors)
- yoga teachers and movement educators
- school teachers and facilitators of any kind
- curious individuals seeking personal development
Everyone welcome.
What you’ll take away
A clear understanding of how the body and nervous system respond to stress and overwhelm — and concrete tools you can bring, gently and ethically, into your work and your own practice.

Who leads the training?
Angela Jervis Read
For Angela, yoga was the first doorway into healing. After a spinal injury in the 1990s, the practice helped her recover — and inspired her to begin teaching in 2000. Over the years she realised that yoga alone could only take her so far. Real, lasting change came when she began working with a somatic therapist and integrating contemporary somatic practices — that’s where she found a deeper, more durable sense of resilience.
Today Angela is a Somatic Movement Therapist and international educator with over two decades of experience leading trainings and retreats worldwide. Her work weaves together Yin, Vinyasa, meditation and trauma-informed approaches, grounded in both physical and energetic anatomy and in the latest scientific research. Having navigated her own difficult chapters — including breast cancer and a total hip replacement — she knows firsthand how embodied practice can carry us through life’s hardest moments. Her passion is to bridge Eastern wisdom and modern somatic science, helping others reconnect with themselves and cultivate strength, clarity and ease in body and mind.
