Yoga Teacher Trainings

“This course was fulfilling, transformational, informative and has left a crater size impact on my mind, heart, and soul. Danielle held space, shared authentically from the heart, and provided a safe and structured approach to completing the training modules. This is also true of all the teachers and mentors involved with the training. The journey at times was challenging and asked each one of us to be brave and vulnerable but with this came a beautiful outreach of loving, kind, and compassionate energy from each one of the cohorts training teachers. I am so grateful to each person I met on the 200hr training, I learnt so much from each person’s stories, mindset, and yoga practice. The yoga taught through a trauma informed lens is safe, invitational, nurturing, co-regulating, grounding, evidence- based and inclusive and has shifted the way I move, think, and interact with the world around me. I am more aware, connected, grounded and compassionate. This training is unique, and words fail to describe the beauty of the experiences and connections that I formed. In undertaking this training, you will be transformed and tap into parts of your heart, mind, and soul that you never knew existed.”

“Undertaking the Body Mind Heart 200 Hour Yoga Teacher training was by far one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. Danielle so effortlessly combined Yogic philosophy, fundamental Yoga Teaching skillsets, anatomical education, up-to-date psycho-education surrounding trauma and her extensive experience across all fields, into a teacher training that also encourages self growth and finding your own teaching style. From our first week we were practicing teaching and within one week of my graduation, I am now a working Yoga Teacher with a confidence that only continues to grow. If you’re even thinking about training with Danielle and the rest of the faculty, do it. It truly is a wonderful and fulfilling experience.”

“This is hands down the best course I have ever done. This course gave me the confidence and the intelligence to follow my dreams and realise my true purpose in life. The support from Danielle and the teaching faculty, and all of my fellow yogis was genuinely life-affirming and that helped my confidence and resilience to grow - I am so excited to see what happens next!”

“This training was so much more than I expected it to be. It offered all the practical and educational information that I had expected and hoped for from a Trauma Informed Training, but it went far deeper than that. I felt like I was part of an empowering, loving and impactful collective and it offered profound healing and personal growth. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I have developed a better understanding of what Yoga means for me, how I can use it as a part of healing and then consider how that could also be used for others. I learnt about the multidimensional aspects of yoga - from the spiritual, emotional, physical, mental and all bodied approach. I learnt how yoga is for everyone and how to moderate sequences and practices to meet all needs. For anyone thinking about undertaking this journey, my advice is to have an openness to explore whatever comes up - lean into the challenges (internal and external). Trust that Danielle is amazingly experienced in holding space and supporting the differing journey’s that people are enduring and she does so in a safe way without judgement.”

“I wanted to say a huge thank you again for everything that you do. The learnings I have gained have been transformative for so many aspects of my life - I have noticed shifts in my work as a counsellor and my resources for self regulation and interoception have improved in such a beneficial way. This is something that is so important to me as I have struggled for a long time with mental health and finding lasting ways to shift my thought patterns and daily habits is a challenge, so it is exciting to find new ways to integrate knowledge and resources which contribute to my wellbeing”

“I felt instantly welcome walking into The 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. Danielle and her teachers created a safe, non-judgmental, supportive and professional environment. The way Danielle presented the course was a perfect balance, I was challenged but never felt overwhelmed. I’m so grateful to now be part of the Yoga Impact Charity and its extended family.”

“The Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training is an opportunity to learn and explore the principles of an ancient philosophy and way of living while navigating through modern day elements that impact our everyday life and overall health. Trauma is part of the human experience and although there are many layers and circumstances that play out on each individual basis, knowledge is power and connecting helps us alleviate some of that burden.

The course will equip you with the necessary skills to work with people in a deeper and more meaningful way when it comes to Trauma Informed Yoga and its long lasting impact in one’s life. You will have access to materials and research studies ranging between Yoga, Somatic Therapy and Psychology that will assist with your course progress and regardless if you are studying in person or online (like me!) you will feel a sense of community and support coming from not only the experienced trainers but also the same like-minded people that are embarking on this path. Expand your knowledge within a flexible and safe environment for all. A special thank you to Danielle Begg, an amazing nurturing mentor for creating and developing such a unique and multidimensional program!”

“Reflecting on my exploration of Self brought to light a realisation that yoga has been a significant part of healing traumas experienced as an adoptee in childhood and the ways it shows up throughout adulthood. It's been a gauge of felt sense of self and safety in my own body that I continue to explore and grow through yoga and other somatic practices. As a qualified counsellor and somatic therapist, becoming a trauma-informed yoga teacher felt aligned and good in my being. Learning with Danielle and the team at Body Mind Heart Training & The Yoga Impact Charity was a beautifully supported and guided training that has given me the skills and scaffolding to bring this embodied practice into my work.

The cohort in my course were such lovely people to learn with and we continue to grow our connection as peers and friends after the course. I recommend this course for those wanting to gain skills that explore embodiment through the philosophies and teachings of yoga; a gift to Self and as a way to support others in a gentle and conscious way that is considerate of the diversity of life experiences.”

“This course has been a truly life-changing experience for me.

It has transformed not only my approach to Yoga but also my perspective on life. I'm incredibly grateful for the inspiring work and dedication of everyone involved in The Yoga Impact Charity.

This course is needed in this world, offering profound insights and positive change to all who participate.”

“The Body Mind Heart Training is a program of the highest level of integrity and inclusiveness. Their trauma-informed approach allows yoga teachers to engage safely with students from diverse backgrounds and circumstances, sometimes vulnerable situations. They also suppor pilot yoga programs through their sister organisation, The Yoga Impact Charity, to less privileged groups such as refugee women or women with domestic abuse history. I really like the idea of reinvesting profits made from previous programs to support free, sustainable pilot programs.

Teaching staff here are extremely experienced, passionate and trauma-informed. They not only teach you the methodology of yoga teaching, but modelling with their own experiences - how to live your life in a yogic way. Highly recommended. What a transformational journey to my life. Thank you Danielle and Janelle, and all our fellow teachers, classmates and friends along this beautiful voyage.”

“Thank you again for creating such an incredible program – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

When I first joined, I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to teach at the end or simply do the course as a form ofsvadhyaya (self study). What I didn’t fully anticipate – but which has had a profound impact – was the gift of having regular, scheduled time each month to slow down, reflect, breathe, journal, practise yoga, and connect with like-minded women. The feeling has been similar to coming back from a holiday, returning to life with a renewed perspective.

I now feel much clearer about some career choices I was struggling with earlier this year, and I have a stronger sense of self and capacity to navigate life from a more grounded and regulated place.

I’ll absolutely be recommending this course to anyone considering yoga teacher training.”
