Trauma-Sensitive Movement & Somatics
Sequencing, Language & Practice with Trauma Sensitivity
Social Justice working with diverse and marginalised groups
Case Studies & Practical Applications
Reflection & Journaling
This immersion centres on trauma-informed practice as a foundational skill set for safe, compassionate teaching and transformative student experiences, enhanced by guest speakers and social justice discussions that broaden understanding of diversity and inclusivity.
Over 3 days, you’ll explore Trauma-sensitive movement and somatics to cultivate a mind/body/heart centred approach that honours nervous-system regulation, boundaries, and individual histories.
Guest speakers will illuminate real-world applications, while structured social justice conversations deepen awareness of systemic factors that influence access to practice, appropriation and representation in teaching.
You’ll learn how to design sequences with trauma sensitivity in mind, balancing inquiry and release with compassion and safety for the student in mind, and you’ll work through case studies and practical applications to translate theory into concrete teaching strategies for group classes and private sessions alike. Reflection and journaling provide a steady thread for integrating insights, personal growth, and professional practice, ensuring your teaching supports resilience, agency, and life-affirming change for students as they journey toward greater embodiment and well-being.

This is your invitation to dive deep into the profoundly restorative art and science of Yoga Nidra, the timeless practice of conscious rest that calms the nervous system and guides others into deeper states of relaxation and awareness. Join Sandey Hoskin to explore the scientific principles that underpin Yoga Nidra and learn how to integrate this practice into your teaching and personal wellbeing routine.
Course Content Includes:
• Definitions and historical roots of Yoga Nidra
• Journey through the layers of the Koshas using the Kosha Model
• The connection between Ayurveda, Marma Points, and Yoga Nidra
• Objectives of Yoga Nidra
• Significance of sleep cycles
• Brain wave modulation and Yoga Nidra
• The nervous system and emotional regulation
• The four states of consciousness
• Preparatory and concluding practices for Yoga Nidra (laying the foundation and conditions for practice)
• Crafting a Sankalpa (heartfelt intention) for Yoga Nidra
• Creating a personalized Yoga Nidra script
What Is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra (pronounced nih-dra) means yogic sleep, but it’s not about falling asleep. It is a meditative experience performed lying down, where the body rests completely while the mind remains gently alert. In this liminal space between wakefulness and sleep, deep layers of the subconscious become accessible. This is where old patterns dissolve. This is where your Sankalpa—the heartfelt intention—takes root. This is where profound healing begins.
Yoga Nidra works with the body’s rhythms, shifting the nervous system out of chronic fight-or-flight and into a state where the mind can rest, emotions recalibrate, and clarity emerges.
During the course, you will learn to surf between wakefulness and sleep, allowing the body to find its natural state of equilibrium (homeostasis) and the breath to balance and quiet. In this state, you can access the subtle flow of energy (prana) in the body. One aim of this practice is to identify and dissolve blockages to the flow of prana.
The practice of Yoga Nidra is deeply restful, rejuvenating, and healing, helping to reduce anxiety, improve cognition, and support restful sleep. Yoga Nidra is accessible to everyone.

• Radiant Rest – Tracey Stanley
Appropriate For:
• Yoga Teachers
• Social workers
• Psychotherapists and related professionals
• Counselors
• Health care professionals

Testimonials
I was lucky enough to attend this incredible 300 hour advanced yoga training, led by Om. One of the best decisions I have ever made in my ever continuing path of yoga study.
I had completed my 200 hour TT, 4 years previous. In that time I had gathered the essential tools to provide a solid and safe foundation for my students to build upon, yet began to feel a little stuck there. I wanted to journey with my students and be of real support and guidance in their growth. I wanted to feel fully confident to safely encourage them to move through hurdles and barriers they faced along the way. I wanted to really see my students and have the skills to offer what they really needed – physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically. This training fulfilled all these wishes and MORE.
My own self-development and study over the course of this year was also truly life changing.
Sandey, Kylie, Fiona and Sally are exceptional teachers. Their passion and pure devotion to their practice speaks volumes and is not only inspiring, but contagious. They all have a unique and very skilled ability to share their knowledge in a way that is understandable on many levels.
My experience with these people, made me realise that when someone truly and utterly believes in you – they help pave the way toward transformation. Not only did my fellow students and I leave each module with hearts and toolkits full, we gained much wider perspectives on our practice and dived deeper into our Dharma. What surprised me the most, was the smooth transition of being able to put all this new learning into use, almost immediately. We emerged each time, feeling comfortable and confident to share from this new seat of experience and knowledge.This was all helped by the continual offer of support, mentorship, advice and further guidance between modules and even after graduation – which is invaluable.
I want to also add,the timing of this training happened alongside some huge personal challenges. Yet I truly believe these modules kept me grounded, awake and prepared.
Ultimately this TT was a profound invitation to discover who i really was. The opening of my eyes to limitless possibIlity. A mirror to everything that already existed and a huge dose of courage to step into the teacher I aspire to be.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for sharing your extensive knowledge and love with us all, so we can essentially pass these gifts on to those around us.
- Jem
I enrolled in the 300-hour Teacher Training programme at OM Yoga Studio because I was ready to deepen my knowledge as a yoga teacher. The programme offered four unique modules, each of which covered topics that I wanted to explore further in my teaching and were led by experienced facilitators who I wanted to learn under.
The training was incredible – it completely reinvigorated my passion for yoga! On top of providing me with an in-depth understanding of sequencing principles, meditation, biomechanics and philosophy, it encouraged me to contemplate the “why” behind my own teaching practices and principles. It was so indulgent to spend five days every three months soaking in new information. I left each module with an excitement to integrate this knowledge into practice and apply what I learnt into a real-life setting.
This programme was comprehensive, well-organised, thoughtful and inclusive. I cannot recommend it enough!
- Sam Rozitis
"Sandey and Kylie, you are both so generous, supportive and genuinely awesome humans. So glad I came along, learnt so much and met so many cool people - rock on!!"
"Great support, really positive, encouraging and empowering approach throughout the course from both of you. I also noticed how present you both were when teaching, and how what you offered came from your hearts. Lots of laughs, light heartedness without losing focus -> great mix.
