THRIVE WITH EMBODIED WISDOM
EMBRACE AND HONOUR YOUR BODY’S INNER KNOWING, GROWTH AND HEALING -
AS A PRACTITIONER AND A WOMAN
OUR VISION
Golden Mandala Yoga-Soma Institute was set up 5 years ago to train practitioners, especially female practitioners - Coaches, Therapists, Social Workers, Yoga Teachers, Wellness Practitioners, Healers - to teach in compassionate, needs-led and bio-psycho-social & spiritual approach, integrated with trauma-informed somatic approach, including Focusing (Embodied Listening) in their coaching and teaching.
Our professionally accredited training certification courses are for practitioners who want to work with focus on creating spaces for deep integration, wholeness and healing, and by encouraging clients and students to develop their own sense of agency through choice and collaboration; practitioners who want to become true embodied feminine leaders within their communities, and teach somatic and embodiment practices that make a real difference to their clients’ wellbeing and lives.

It took a long breath. And replied, I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.”

Trauma-informed Somatic Training
3 Reasons why trauma-informed somatic training should not be an add-on
Our Values
Safety First
We always start with creating ‘safe enough’ spaces for all of us to explore, learn, grow and heal. We honour the connections that happen in our many shared circles.
Collaboration Over Competition
We choose collaboration over competition in our work and understand that our positive impact and power comes not from ‘being the best’ but from being ‘one of the voices’ in the conversation.
Kindness and Compassion
We consciously choose to cultivate kindness and compassion in relationships with ourselves and others, and cultivate clear compassionate boundaries.
Simplicity and Cycles
We embrace a natural way of living in attunement with Nature and Life, and by honouring our needs and inner rhythms that lead to a deeper sense of embodiment.
Shared Human Experience
We recognise that we are all just having a human experience, often messy and imperfect, and bring curiosity, connection and playfulness into our interactions.
Integrity and Wholeness
We prioritise our sense of integrity and wholeness that comes from a rested, stable and grounded way of being, and a regulated nervous system and physiology. All parts are welcome here.
Embodied Listening
We take regular time to connect with our inner felt experience by practicing Embodied Listening to help us understand our needs and meet them in an empowered way.
Embodied Feminine Leadership
We fully embrace our responsibility and role as Embodied Feminine Leaders, understanding the impact we want to make for the benefit of all.
