Why do I want to work with Moms?

As a busy, single, homeschool mom I found that I have unique challenges that other people (and even other moms) don’t necessarily have. I am highly sensitive (HSP) and I have two HSP children. After many years of self-study and research, I’ve found that in order to thrive, I must design my life around the unique needs of myself and my children, by utilizing tools and skills I have developed over time.

After facilitating multiple successful 200 hour YTT programs, and closing my yoga studio of 8 years to become a “floating” yoga school, I found myself feeling stuck. I wasn’t sure in what direction I was meant to go and when I tried to do something the same way I did in the past, I would fail to manifest it.

So I allowed myself time to process my own past trauma and healing work, while allowing divine guidance to show me the way.

I found that the thought of a rigid schedule or working in only one location was unsettling! I also discovered that I enjoy being in nature more than inside a studio, and I really appreciate intimate gatherings with women, with the intention of growing together. I also realized that flexibility is a necessity for me.

Then it hit me like a ton of beautiful bricks… I am meant to work with other MOMS with similar life challenges, a love of nature and new experiences, and who require flexibility… like ME! And so was born the “200 hour Holistic Mama Teacher Training Course”.

About my 200 hr Holistic Mama YTT course:

The 200 hour Holistic Mama YTT course is designed for nurturing women who want to bring the holistic practices of Yoga and Ayurveda into daily life, for optimal wellness for the whole family. This course is particularly geared toward moms who have certain responsibilities that don’t allow much time away, and if you love being outdoors and experiencing new places, that’s a bonus!
​
The primary focus of this course is to allow organic integration of the practices to seep into daily life. My hope is that moms will take what they are learning and apply it to their family life; teaching by example, and raising consciousness one breath at a time.

In this course students will cultivate a home practice and start exploring their complex inner world, including subconscious behavioral patterns and limiting beliefs. They will learn to use the principles of yoga to help heal past trauma, break the cycle of toxic family systems and bring harmony to all areas of life.

Students will meet at various locations one Saturday per month, along with weekly Zoom meetings, one monthly (family friendly) pot luck gathering, self-paced study, and one weekend retreat included in tuition! You will even get the bonus of teachings from my personal teacher(s) LIVE from Kerala, India.
