As a yoga teacher, I wanted to better understand how to hold space for students who may be carrying trauma. Bhavna’s training was thoughtful, well-structured, and deeply insightful, offering practical tools and language that have enriched both my teaching and my personal understanding of trauma. What stood out most was Bhavna herself. She is warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in her students’ learning. I left the course with a deeper understanding of trauma-informed teaching and would highly recommend it to any yoga teacher seeking to teach with greater awareness and compassion.

My course with Bhavna came after my first TTC. Where I first learned the basic principles and asanas of yoga, the trauma course brought me the depth and insight that had drawn me to India in the first place.
Bhavna is an inspiring teacher, humble yet full of wisdom.
She has taught me to approach my boundaries and pain with love, gentleness and patience. This has given me growth that I long believed was no longer possible.

This course unifies the principles of yoga philosophy with neuroscience and psychology.
Providing a language to describe ancient wisdom to a modern audience.
Bhavna has such a depth of experience.

I’ve been practicing yoga for nearly 10 years now—always just for myself. I’ve been considering doing a teacher training for a very long time, though I never had the intention of teaching others. Learning with and from Bhavna was a wholesome experience.
Since then, I know what it means to breathe—that the goal of meditation isn’t to be thoughtless, but simply to be present. I’m already looking forward to the next course!

I was very honoured and privileged to have been able to attend this Trauma Based Yoga Course. I found the course extremely informative and engaging with an empathetic teacher. The skills taught have been life changing and healing for my own experience of Trauma as well as with my work in Mental Health with Trauma survivors.
I practice these skills and support my patients in practicing them and we have all benefited greatly from the healing.

I followed a trauma informed yoga course with Bhavna. Professional down to earth mentality. The material translated well to every day life. And we got great resources and reminders even after the course. Would for sure love to do another one soon.
