TINY & VAST: TRAININGS
tiny & Vast
50, 150 and 300 hour trainings in somatic yoga and non-dual philopshy
Tiny&Vast is a yoga school dedicated to your creative emergence as a facilitator, supporting you to embody, integrate and transmit somatic, enquiry based yoga grounded in felt sense, non-dual philosophy.
These containers gather curious humans to explore how ancient philosophical ideas meet modern thought, how the cutting edge of science reveals the intuitive knowing of bygone sages, and most importantly, how all of these stories are told through our bodies and available through our own direct experience.
The Tiny&Vast curriculum offers three phases of nourishment and growth.
You can participate in 50 hour, 150 hour and 300 hour containers, layering your learning over time

7 DAY IMMERSION IN PORTUGAL
Immerse into bhakti yoga to bring mantra, sacred sound and kirtan into your facilitation practice
Find your voice and explore authentic expression through a variety of lenses
Deep dive into the Bhagavad Gita and stories of the deities
Refine your facilitation skills: seeing bodies, mindful use of touch, assists and cues in enquiry based practice
Hone your craft of facilitating stillness practices: meditation, breath, restorative through a somatic lens
You will learn how to facilitate from a place of quiet depth and power, to hold space in a way that brings people into contact with their own curiosity and inner knowing, and to use the practice as a way to invite participants into a felt remembrance of the relationship between all that is tiny and all that is vast; of the ongoing continuity between self, other and the environment to which we belong.
“I was so moved by the whole thing and have honestly found this course beyond inspiring. I genuinely feel changed by it in the most humbling, loving and awe inspiring way’ ”
Tiny&Vast will nourish you as a practitioner first, so that you can share and transmit from a place of genuine embodiment. It will build your confidence to offer spacious yet structured, creative and explorative practice contexts. You will step into a beautiful community of incredible facilitators to unpack the importance of how we share yoga, and why. Together we will help you to trust yourself and what you uniquely have to share.
Trainings often under-utilise teachers’ inherent wisdom. The vision of these containers is to locate that knowing and liberate it.
“Tiny & Vast is a truly unique training program. I feel richer and more expansive as a direct result of my interactions and time spent with this amazing group of intelligent, generous and kind people. Paula’s ability to present the material with such clarity and a genuine invitation for exploration made this training the most transformative experience. Paula made previously unapproachable subject matters and concepts approachable. Her contagious love of teaching and infectious enthusiasm for both learning and embracing uncertainty helped me understand how I personally learn. I reconnected with my personal practice and my love of teaching and developed a deep appreciation for my own journey. ”

In this container we explore the philosophical ground of our practice and establish foundations for cultivating a somatic and enquiry based approach. We explore a unique combination of ancient and contemporary texts, filtering our enquiries through the felt sense to experience how the body holds the philosophy, so that you can move from a conceptual to an embodied understanding of the philosophy. The result is that the philosophy naturally begins to filter into your teaching and life in an organic way.
In weekly meetings over 6 months we dive into 6 modules
1 Begin at the beginning
Remember your WHY. Philosophical ground: a variety of perspectives on the nature of reality. Introduction to key texts and themes.
2 The bigger picture
Establish a clear and resonant understanding of philosophy from an integrative (as opposed to renunciate) perspective and explore how non-dual tantric ideas meet modern perspectives and science.
3 Navigate the challenge
If we are ‘all one’, then why doesn’t it feel that way? How a culture of separation thwarts our instincts and interferes with our capacity to sense the whole that we are a part of. Understand contexts that give rise to self doubt and post teaching shame spirals and learn basic tools to navigate the vulnerability of authentic teaching and creative expression.
4 Hone your craft
Towards an enquiry based pedagogy. Meet your inner teacher, and explore how to teach in a way that introduces students to theirs. Refine your language, and fine tune your capacity to promote an inclusive, compassionate and empowering class culture.
5 Practical application
Explore somatic approaches to teaching movement and sequencing. What does alignment mean in an enquiry based model? How to bring more space for exploration into your classes without losing structure and containment. Creativity in class crafting; building rich, layered and nuanced practices to spark curiosity.
6 Integration
Generating possibilities: from personal to collective. Integrating and processing our practice and facilitation as a project for collective thriving.
Each module is a journey. From the intellectual stimulation of philosophical contemplation, to specialised practices to integrate and explore those ideas through the body; the opportunity to experiment with facilitation as part of your learning process, and community calls to parse apart the challenges and engage in knowledge sharing with an incredible group of teachers.
“At a time when my teaching and my personal practice had been feeling a little stale and tired, this training not only whole-heartedly revived them, but also - and unexpectedly so - opened up a whole other dimension of awe in regards to the beauty of our wholeness and the very miracle of our existence. Paula skilfully wove together the threads of ancient philosophy, modern day literature and beautiful embodiment practises to create a 6 month container that is perhaps one of the most inspiring courses I have studied to date. Not simply a yoga training, but a journey that will shift your perspective and underpin how you show up in your world and in your work and with your loved ones. I found it really magical and I am very grateful to Paula who is an extremely gifted teacher and lovely human.”

This is a 150 hour training that takes place online and in person over 6 months
This is a journey through the densities of our human architecture. Through embodied anatomy, embryology and in depth philosophical study we will begin to peel back the layers to reveal the magic of how our bodies hold the philosophy, and how our inner world reflects the outer. In each session there will be opportunities to learn in different ways, from lectures to practice and group discussion, always returning to your own direct experience and your facilitation practice as part of the learning process.
throughout the 6 month training we will weave and consolidate topics from the previous training, and in addition dive into:
Embodied Anatomy
From parts to wholeness, from memorising muscles and bones to feeling them. Explore the human architecture in motion to completely shift your understanding of anatomy.
Embryology
Exploring how our original design meets function in our adult moving bodies and WHY this changes everything about our understanding of movement.
Felt sense philosophy
A detailed exploration of key non-dual tantric texts woven through contemporary literature and the felt sense for integrated understanding.
Human architecture in motion
How has our understanding of human anatomy evolved over time and where are we now? Understanding bio-motional movement dynamics and updating our understanding of movement principles to reflect an integrated anatomical perspective. Exploring the shift from ‘alignment’ to integration, and from posture to process.
Somatic sequencing
Broadening our movement vocabulary, creating contexts where organic and original movement reveals itself, organising ideas into creative, intelligent sequences. Building curriculums: how to develop an ongoing educational experience for your students, threading overarching themes, and building ideas to weave an ongoing learning process so that you and your students to grow together.
The psychology of teaching
Developing a more nuanced understanding of the challenges that come up in teaching and how we can use our teaching experience as part of our own ongoing awareness practice.
Trauma awareness
Cultivating a trauma friendly and inclusive facilitation practice through a deep understanding of the nervous system, and building skills to work with unique human bodies with clarity and confidence.
Guest Facilitators
Aki Omori
Aki will create contexts for us to explore how life moves through her incredible ability to bring complex topics into a felt sense understanding.
She will be guiding us in our exploration of embryology and how our earliest unfolding speaks to our adult movement and perception. She will also lead explorations of our relational human architecture, and support us to hone our capacity to facilitate with a trauma friendly approach.
Aki is a senior Body Mind Centering trainer, somatic trauma therapist, and highly experienced teacher in somatic movement, touch and anatomy.
“We are constantly affected by our ever changing environments, both external and internal and we are constantly responding to them - both in our psyche and the body. I am forever curious and excited about how we can continue to learn how to respond and act in an increasingly authentic way, and embrace who we are a little bit more at a time. And each time, we become freer & braver - all the way through our life time. ”
Helen Eadie
Helen will help us to explore how our felt sense shapes our reality through the embodied study of contemporary anatomy, interoception and neuroscience.
Helen is a somatic practitioner, traditionally trained in craniosacral therapy and Scaravelli-inspired yoga. She holds a master's degree in psychology and will be starting her PhD researching perceptual interventions to address body image disturbance and eating disorders at the University of Sussex, UK in September 2025.
For the past two decades Helen has immersed herself in mind-body practices and since 2018 studied fascia under the mentorship of Dr Joanne Avison. She edited the 2nd edition of 'Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement', is a contributing author of 'Myofascial Magic in Action', and has produced several fascia-informed CPD courses for movement and bodywork practitioners.
The relationship between body consciousness and mind drives Helen's practice, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and desire to help others. Alongside her private practice, she currently works as an assistant psychologist in the NHS using interoceptive awareness interventions in the context of trauma recovery and functional neurological disorders.

“I’ve found the courage to teach from honest and direct experience - without the need for validation outside of my own knowing. It is the sincerest way I have ever experienced teaching and it’s transformed not just my practice but the way I interact with the world.”
“I’ve learned to listen in for my inner teacher, and gradually build trust with her, so I can cultivate my own artistry without comparison. I’m less invested in perfection and more interested in feeling and authenticity. I can ground myself during a class and sit in more silence. I can divert from my plan and read the room more. I can practice teaching as a practice of awareness itself. ”
