Tina Nance

E- RYT 500 Yoga Teacher Trainer, Dip Ki Yoga Therapy, Dip Health Sciences, Dip Shiatsu, Dip Remedial Massage, Dip Vibrational Medicine

Tina Nance has been practicing Yoga for over 25 years and teaching Yoga, Somatic Inquiry & Women’s Work around the globe since 2001, in classes, workshops, retreats and yoga teacher trainings.

Tina is deeply passionate about creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds to connect directly and experientially with their body-mind and Spirit via the Embodied Arts, & is the founder of HELD : School of Embodied Self Integration & the somatic practice of Embodied Unwinding.

HELD runs 6x 100hr Yoga& Embodiment Teacher Trainings in Yoga Therapy, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga & Nervous System Regulation, Embodied Trauma Integration, Embodied Mindfulness Practices & Embodied Feminine Arts. 

Tina works within the understanding that many of the contractions of the body-mind, are a manifestation of an identification with thoughts and behaviours that are misaligned with the truth of who we are. Tina's embodiment practices are focused on consciously unravelling these holding patterns within our body-mind's with guided transformative loving awareness.

Cultivating the art of H.E.L.D : Heart-centred Embodied Listening as Dharma, with deep presence, open curiosity, focused awareness, conscious breath & compassionate holding within each asana, Tina’s work engages all eight limbs of yoga on the mat. Connecting to students to their innate essence as the loving presence that can contain & embrace all that arises, inviting the integration of their body, mind and Spirit.

Throughout the last decade Tina specialised in Yin Yoga & Embodied Mindfulness, and Yoga Therapy for Women's Wellness.

More recently in response to all that she has learnt directly in her recovery from her own battle & growth with trauma & nervous system dysfunction, Tina passionately expanded into Embodied Trauma Integration practices including Nervous System Regulation, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Somatic Experiencing, Trauma Informed Yoga Nidra & Trauma Informed Yoga.

Tina is a long time resident yoga teacher & teacher trainer at The Yoga Barn in Bali, Indonesia, teaching regular Classes, Workshops & 6x 100hr HELD Embodied Arts Teacher Trainings & a 500hour HELD Advanced Yoga Teacher Training programme.

Tina is currently creating the HELD Online Yoga & Embodiment School where she is offering ongoing Online Classes, Workshops, Trainings & Teacher Trainings in Yoga & the Embodied Arts, Somatic Inquiry & Embodied Trauma Integration.

Nicola Jean Smith

Acupuncturist / Chinese Medicine Doctor

Nicola had her first experience with acupuncture at age 26. She knew at that moment she had found traditional Chinese Medicine as a healing art, and an Acupuncture Master in which to learn the subtle art of pulse diagnosis. Her fortuitous meeting with Ross Penman, of Bright Cottage Acupuncture in Sydney pivoted her from a young achieving corporate in Sydney to a humbled and dedicated student.

This fortuitous meeting offered clinical experience with a Master pulse diagnostician, learning his strategies of acupuncture as a treatment and appreciation of how the spirit is at the essence of true healing.

As a high-level intuitive, she is also trained in the Access Consciousness Bars and continues to study CranioSacral Therapy as a student. Her CranioSacral mentorship continues with The Yoga Barn, Adolf Brown.

She has consciously returned from two spiritual near-death experiences. Having experienced profound detoxing and healing from a variety of imbalances, she knows the first-hand recovery from modern related nervous system disorders and our capacity to activate the innate intelligence existing within us all to heal.

The spirit in healing and energy in her acupuncture treatments make for a subtle but potent approach to rebalancing, tonifying and supporting the body, mind, and soul.

Eva Joan Ritchie

Yoga Teacher

Eva Joan Ritchie is a yoga teacher, herbalist & body worker, & is passionate about the connection between body & mind & their affect upon each other. Eva has been practicing Yoga for the last 25 years & teaching since 2013.

Eva’s approach to life and healing stems from her belief that we are all made up of many layers: physical, emotional, mental and energetic – which all need to be communicating to each other harmoniously, so we can live conscious & healthy lives.
