Nervous System Regulation & Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training
Nervous System Regulation & Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga understood the nervous system long before science explained it.
We teach where they meet.
A residential teacher training integrating nervous system regulation, trauma informed yoga, somatic movement, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, breathwork, meditation, and traditional yogic wisdom.
Understanding the Human Being Behind the Practice.
Most yoga trainings focus on what happens on the mat.
This training explores what happens beneath the surface.
The breath.
The nervous system.
The emotions.
The patterns we carry.
The ways we respond to stress, challenge, connection, and change.
Through trauma informed yoga, somatic movement, Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, sound healing, breathwork, meditation, and traditional yogic wisdom, we explore the deeper relationship between the body, the mind, and the human experience.
Because when we understand the human being behind the practice, we begin to understand why yoga has always been about so much more than movement.
Why Choose Oceanic Yoga Nervous System Regulation and Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training
Who This Training Is For?
The Yoga Teacher
You want to support students with greater confidence, sensitivity, and depth. You are ready to move beyond teaching postures and begin understanding the people behind them.
The Wellness Professional
You work with people and want practical tools that support emotional wellbeing, resilience, stress regulation, and sustainable transformation.
The Curious Practitioner
You may never teach yoga professionally. You simply want to understand yourself more deeply and develop practices that create greater balance, awareness, and connection.
The Seeker in Transition
You are navigating change, burnout, uncertainty, or a period of personal growth and are looking for practices that help you reconnect with yourself and your life.
Why This Training?
When the nervous system feels safe, learning deepens.
When the body softens, awareness expands.
When regulation becomes possible, transformation follows.
Ancient yoga traditions understood this long before modern science could explain it.
Today, neuroscience, somatic psychology, and trauma informed approaches are helping us understand why practices such as breathwork, meditation, Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, sound healing, and mindful movement have such profound effects on human wellbeing.
This training brings these worlds together.
Not to replace traditional yoga.
But to deepen our understanding of it.
You will leave with practical tools, embodied experience, and a new lens through which to understand yoga, teaching, healing, and human experience itself.

Such an amazing yoga school. Excellent teachers and very kind and supportive team. The location is amazing and so is the food. My partner and I completed our 300 hours here and we learned so much. We are forever grateful and we look forward to coming back. We strongly recommend 🙏🤍Posted on Tamina BuchmüllerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Oceanic Yoga School was truly magical. The entire place is filled with love and positive energy. The property is surrounded by lush jungle, where monkeys play nearby and you can hear the beautiful sounds of birds all day long. From the top shala and the pool, you get breathtaking views overlooking both the jungle and the ocean—absolutely stunning. The teachers are highly professional and make you feel seen, understood, and supported at all times. George and Kalu go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—they are always there for anything you need. And the food is DELICIOUS! Freshly prepared every day with so much care. I would recommend this experience 1000% and truly hope to come back again soon! THANK YOU!Posted on Olga FrolovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed a 100-hour Sound Healing and Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Oceanic Yoga School. It was a wonderful experience! The 10-day program was very well organized. All the teachers are knowledgeable and supportive. The food is fully vegetarian, healthy, and made with care. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is beautiful, surrounded by tropical plants, fruit trees, and birds - very peaceful. A special thank you to the administration team for creating such a smooth and welcoming experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for yoga and sound healing courses in a peaceful and supportive place.Posted on Ilaria SabenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing and unforgettable time at Oceanic Yoga. George and Calu are so attentive to everything and took care of us as if we were part of a big family. The yoga classes are so professional and on point, I learnt a lot and got so much stronger only after 10 days. The food is delicious and so wholesome and nourishing. It is freshly cooked everyday. And the view is simply stunning, with Morjim beach in front. The school is set a bit up hill which fells like being in the jungle, you can also spot some monkeys! It is wonderful!Posted on Harriet FiskTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an amazing experience the teachers and staff are so kind, helpful and dedicated - definitely recommend! 🙏Posted on C. PlechTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richtig tolle authentische Yogalehrer, wirklich wahnsinnig gut! Ich bin sehr inspiriert. Auch die Unterkunft ist super und das Center sehr schön! Das essen war immer super lecker!! Es war nur kein typisches Retreat, sondern eher ein Yoga teacher Training, da man mit den leuten von Teacher Training zusammen Unterricht hat (Yoga, Mediation, aber auch Adjustment/Alignment). Dafür eignet es sich wirklich super.Posted on GregTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did My Yoga Nidra And Meditation Course Amazing Location Very Peaceful And Full Of Wonderful Nature & Very Experienced And Knowledgeable Teachers Full Of Great Guidance And Wisdom. I Found My Ideal Meditation Techniques And Deeper Connections 🧘♂️ I Would Fully Recommend This Place ***** Namaste 🙏Posted on Natalia RogozaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every once in a while you find a place that reminds you what yoga is actually about. Well, Oceanic is exactly this place! I didn't just learn here. I felt, questioned, slowed down, and grew.. This place is something truly special. It feels very human, very sincere, and deeply focused on the real experience of yoga. The environment is intimate, and you can feel that the teachers genuinely care about every student. You are encouraged to go deeper into your practice, but also deeper into understanding yourself. The whole experience is thoughtfully created from first to the last day. The accommodation is comfortable, the views around the property are beautiful, and the location makes it easy to feel connected to nature. The food is fresh, nourishing, and prepared with care. When you spend long days learning and practicing, these small things actually mean a lot. I completed two courses here and came into both of them with an open heart. The meditation and Yoga Nidra training was truly eye-opening in every sense. It was not just something to study or memorize. It was something you experience deeply, and it changes the way you understand stillness, awareness, and rest. The second training in sound healing and yin yoga allowed me to slow down even more in my asana practice and explore a very authentic approach to sound. Arun is a rare teache!. What he shares is not just technique. It’s not about simply striking the bowls. It’s about learning to feel, to listen, and to connect to the subtle experience of sound. That depth is something you don’t find everywhere. I also want to mention George and Kalu, who manage the place. They are wonderful hosts and truly sincere people. They take care of everything with such warmth and dedication, and you can feel that they really want every student to have a meaningful experience there. By the end of my journey in Oceanic, I realized this place gives you something much deeper than knowledge or skills. It reminds you what yoga is really about. And that is something I will carry with me long after leaving.❤️❤️❤️Posted on Kathrin ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe mich bei Oceanic Yoga sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Der Ort ist wunderschön mitten in der Natur gelegen und angenehm ruhig. Alle Menschen, die hier arbeiten, sind mit dem Herzen dabei, freundlich und fürsorglich. Das Essen ist köstlich und die Lehrer sind großartig! 💖Posted on amandine galinouTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J’ai vécu une retraite de yoga de 5 jours qui a été une véritable expérience hors du temps. J’y ai énormément appris et chaque journée était un vrai plaisir. Les professeurs sont passionnés, bienveillants et très inspirants. J’ai aussi eu la chance de rencontrer des personnes formidables, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus belle. Tout est réuni pour vivre un moment exceptionnel : le cadre est magnifique, l’organisation des journées est très bien pensée et la nourriture est délicieuse. Malheureusement, je n’avais que 5 jours dans mon emploi du temps. Si j’avais eu plus de temps, j’aurais adoré rester plus longtemps pour continuer à apprendre et approfondir la pratique. Je recommande sincèrement ce lieu à toutes les personnes qui souhaitent explorer ou approfondir le yoga, la méditation, les massages, ect... Vous y vivrez sans aucun doute une expérience riche et mémorable. Une parenthèse précieuse que je n’oublierai pas ✨
