200 Hour REbalance Yoga Foundation Teacher Training

With Senior Yoga Teacher + Body Psychotherapist Sandra Robinson

  • Do you want to deepen your yoga practice and personal process?
  • Do you want to learn more about yourself, yoga or body psychotherapy?
  • Do you want to become a qualified yoga teacher?
  • Do you want to learn more about psychotherapy in a yogic context?

Whether you're already a teacher, want to become one or whether you're interested in your own personal development, if you've answered any of those questions with yes, this might be the training for you.

This unique teacher training combines ancient Yoga principles with contemporary body psychotherapeutic approaches and theories. It’s a highly experiential training based on the assumption that in order to be compelling and authentic teachers, we need to teach from an embodied place.
 
The training combines online and in person modules and teachings, reflecting the changed landscape and skill requirements of modern yoga teachers. It’s a journey over nine months allowing time in between modules for integration and digestion.
 
The intention of this programme is to explore:
  • How to sequence and teach a yoga class, taking into consideration different skill levels and injuries.
  • How to modify poses and work with what emerges in the room.
  • How to hold space: physically, energetically and emotionally.
  • How to connect to oneself and the students.
  • How to do hands-on assists safely and in a connected way.
  • How to teach authentically and from an embodied place.
  • How to work with emotions, stress and trauma in the yoga room.
  • How to develop skills to be present and take care of oneself, including body psychotherapeutic skills of centring, boundaries, grounding and connection.
 
This training creates room to explore and connect to who you truly are, creating space for a deeper acceptance of yourself. It hopes to spark curiosity about your own process as well as the process of the people you will be working with.
 
This teacher training is limited to 8 people to give you the attention, space and feedback you need to grow into an excellent teacher.

  • Asana and pranayama: 35%.

About Sandra Robinson

Sandra is a certified Forrest Yoga teacher, a Senior Teacher with the UK Yoga Alliance, and an E-RYT 500 registered with the US Yoga Alliance. She thrives on teaching workshops, retreats, and continuing education for yoga teachers, creating spaces where students can fully immerse themselves, reconnect with their spirit, and be.

She also works in-depth with small groups of yoga teachers emerging from Foundation Trainings, with the specific aim of building community, supporting them to grow into their fullest potential, and guiding them to hold space for themselves and their students with compassion.

Sandra trained at the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre and offers long-term body psychotherapy in Peterborough, Huntingdon, and online. She teaches and provides therapy in both German and English.

Her deepest interest lies in the transformational power of embodiment and authenticity—dissolving the belief that one is not “good enough.” When we lay down our armour, allow ourselves to be vulnerable, and connect authentically with ourselves and our environment, profound change becomes possible. By trusting who we are and the inner wisdom we all carry, our relationships can transform—and in turn, those relationships reshape us as individuals.

Through her extensive body psychotherapy training and by working within groups of inspiring and courageous people, Sandra has come to understand the healing importance of relationship and community deeply.
