How This Training Has Evolved
Welcome, I’m Lorraine.
When I first began training yoga teachers around 2010, my intention was simple. I wanted to share the practices that had given me clarity, purpose and a deeper understanding of life.
Over the years, this training has naturally evolved. After guiding hundreds of women through their teacher training journey, I have seen first-hand how powerful it can be when women gather together to practice, reflect and learn in a supportive space.
My teaching has also deepened. I have become more trauma-aware, more compassionate in the way I hold space and more interested in the emotional and philosophical dimensions of yoga rather than simply the physical practice.
Much of what shaped this training came from my own experiences as a student. Over time I recognised that many traditional yoga spaces were shaped by hierarchical structures and teachings that did not always leave room for questioning, personal experience or emotional intelligence.
This led me to develop what I now call The Feminine Path of Yoga. It is an approach that honours the wisdom of traditional practices while also encouraging women to trust their intuition, speak with their own voice and discover their inner authority.
Today, this training weaves together many strands of yoga and embodied practice including tantra, philosophy, voicework, ritual, meditation and trauma-informed teaching.
But the heart of the training has always remained the same.
It is about supporting women to deepen their relationship with yoga and to step forward as teachers who are authentic, thoughtful and grounded in their own wisdom.
Who This Yoga Teacher Training Is For
This 300 hour yoga teacher training is designed for women who feel called to deepen their understanding of yoga and evolve their teaching in a more authentic and intuitive way.
Most students joining this program have already completed a 300 hour yoga teacher training and are ready to move beyond technique into a deeper exploration of philosophy, embodiment and personal expression. This training may be right for you if you are:
A yoga teacher seeking deeper knowledge
You want to expand beyond the physical practice and explore yoga philosophy, tantra and embodied teaching in a meaningful way.
A teacher who wants to find her authentic voice
Rather than copying other teachers or following rigid systems, you want to develop a teaching style that reflects your own intuition, creativity and lived experience.
A woman drawn to a feminine approach to yoga
You feel curious about practices that honour women’s bodies, cycles and emotional intelligence, and you want to explore yoga through a feminine lens.
A teacher interested in trauma-informed yoga
You want to hold space for students with greater sensitivity, compassion and awareness of the nervous system.
A practitioner seeking personal transformation as well as professional development
This training is not only about becoming a better teacher. It is also a journey into self-understanding, healing and empowerment.
Students come from across the UK, Europe and all over the world, bringing diverse backgrounds and experiences. What connects them is a shared desire to explore yoga as a path of wisdom, embodiment and authentic expression.
