What’s Inside:
The course is self-paced, with a mix of live sessions and recorded content. You'll move through key foundations of trauma theory and brain science, learn to apply trauma-sensitive yoga principles, and explore the role of breath, sleep, nutrition, and the vagus nerve in regulating the nervous system.
You’ll also receive example classes, teaching themes, and scripts you can use right away—or adapt to your own voice.
In these times—when rates of anxiety and trauma are rising sharply—these tools have never been more needed.
(Nearly 1 in 6 adults in the UK experiences anxiety in any given week, and rates of PTSD have doubled in the past decade.)
Yoga is uniquely placed to help because it gives us access into the nervous system to create more adaptability. You will gain skills + confidence in nervous system regulation that also support those with autism/ ADHD and depression.
Whether you’re looking to specialise in yoga for anxiety, or simply deepen your capacity to help all students feel safe and resourced—this course is here to support you

Hello, I'm Laura
My work and life have centred around people who feel “different” through disability, mental health struggles, or being neurodivergent. I’ve also spent many year advocating for my autistic-ADHD son.
Before yoga, I worked in a Camphill community with people with diverse abilities including autism, Down’s Syndrome, cerebral palsy, and deafness. Those years taught me deeply about love, dignity, and shared humanity beyond labels.
I completed an MA in sustainable environmental management, focusing on food access and the link between poverty and health. Later, I worked in a London community garden supporting people who had fled war and torture, using group therapy and horticulture as healing tools.
Yoga has been a thread through all of this. I began in my university years, studied in India, and later trained in trauma-sensitive yoga, yoga for anxiety and mental health with teachers like Sarah Ball and Heather Mason; in somatic psychotherapy and counselling. I’ve taught in prisons, day centres, and general classes—adapting my approach to be increasingly trauma-informed.
This course brings together everything I’ve learned—through study, practice, and lived experience. It support us to create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and able to reconnect with their sense of self and with others.
