Who This Yoga Teacher Training Is For
This 200 hour yoga teacher training is designed for women who feel called to explore yoga more deeply and share its benefits with others.
You do not need to be an advanced practitioner to join. What matters most is a genuine interest in yoga, self-discovery and personal growth. This training may be right for you if you are:
A yoga practitioner ready to deepen your path
You have been attending classes and feel drawn to explore the deeper philosophy and practices of yoga.
A woman considering becoming a yoga teacher
You would like to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to begin teaching yoga classes.
Someone seeking personal transformation
Many women join the training not only to teach, but to reconnect with themselves and discover a deeper sense of purpose.
Drawn to feminine approaches to yoga
You are interested in practices that honour women’s bodies, cycles and intuition, and explore yoga through a feminine lens.
Looking for a supportive and inspiring community
You want to learn alongside like-minded women in a nurturing space that encourages self-expression and growth.
Why this teacher training is different
Lorraine Taylor has been training yoga teachers since 2012 and has guided hundreds of women through their first steps into teaching. Over the years, this program has evolved through experience, reflection and a deep commitment to creating a training that truly supports women.
Rather than focusing only on physical postures, this training explores yoga as a path of self-understanding, philosophy and embodied practice.
At the heart of the program is The Feminine Path of Yoga, an approach that encourages women to trust their intuition, develop their own authentic teaching voice and discover their inner wisdom rather than simply following a fixed method.
Students graduate not only with the skills to teach yoga safely and confidently, but with a deeper relationship to the practice and a clearer sense of their own voice as a teacher.

Somatic Movement In Person
Immersion teachers
We’re really happy to welcome Sivani mata, blanche and Nalini to the 200 hour Immersion in Glastonbury, 17–27 august 2026.
Sivani Mata will be offering her wisdom on mantra, along with a full power kirtan and yoni puja. Nalini will be guiding mini pilgrimages to sacred sites including the Tor, Magdalena Chapel and White Spring, weaving in voice and ceremony. Blanche will be offering embodied anatomy and somatic movement.
Sivani Mata Francis
Sivani Mata is bridge-walker, London born with roots in Celtic lands and infused with African spirit filtered through Trinidad. She is an artist moved by a sensory and elemental exploration of life through practice that evokes the liminal experience of trance-like states of consciousness, as well as the centring of the awareness in heart. A core avenue on her journey is the path of bhakti yoga from the Shaivaite linage of Haiḍakhan Babaji; woven with devotion to the Sacred Feminine inspired by Shakta Tantra and the Shamanism of the Mother Goddess (as shared by XamAM Alba Maria). She believes in this deep inner work as a way to cultivate healing for ourselves and the Earth, and is grateful for the continuous opportunities for learning.
Nalini Blossom
Nalini Blossom is an internationally renowned singer-songwriter, sound healer, ceremonialist and workshop facilitator. Over the last 20 years, she has pilgrimaged to sacred sites around the world, studying with indigenous wisdom keepers and song carriers. From the Amazon Jungle, to the High Andes, to the temples of Egypt, India and Central America, Nalini weaves ancestral threads into a unique tapestry of song, invocation and ceremony. Her voice has been described as ‘an ancient and powerful transmission’, transporting listeners through the veils into timeless realms; her songs are deep prayers of praise and longing. Nalini is currently based in Glastonbury, UK where she leads Alchemy of Avalon private tours and song circles. She is a mentor in ‘Womb Awakening’ with the Fountain of Life Academy of Dr Azra and Seren Bertrand, with whom she apprenticed in Avalon and on Big Island, Hawaii and currently doing a ministry training with the Center of Sacred Studies in California. Nalini is especially passionate about empowering women to reclaim their authentic voice, womb wisdom and embodied connection to Mother Earth.
blanche mulholland
As a registered Somatic Movement Therapist & Educator, Continuum Teacher and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Blanche has developed a unique approach to healing through movement and embodied enquiry within her private practice Somatic Alchemy. She has a background teaching yoga & mindfulness and working in mental health. Her approach is centered around awakening the natural intelligence, creativity and innate healing of the body and allowing this to guide us, to reveal to us our deepest essence and resources. Blanche facilitates therapeutic movement sessions, workshops and retreats with individuals and groups from her home studio and retreat centre in Glastonbury. She also offers one to one trauma therapy.
