E- RYT 500 Yoga Teacher Trainer

Tina Nance has been practicing Yoga for over 30 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.

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

Tina’s work centres within the understanding that many of the contractions of the body-mind are a manifestation of identifying with thoughts and behaviours that are misaligned with the truth of who we are.

All of Tina’s embodiment based programmes focus on consciously unravelling these holding patterns within our body-mind's, in a myriad of ways, with guided transformative loving awareness.

In cultivating the art of heart-centred embodied listening : deep presence, curiosity, directed awareness, compassionate holding and conscious breath within each asana, Tina’s work engages all eight limbs of yoga on the mat.

In connecting to their innate essence as loving presence students learn to contain, embrace & integrate all that arises, embodying the integration of their body, mind and spirit.

Throughout the last 15years Tina specialised in Yin Yoga & Embodied Mindfulness, and Yoga Therapy for Women's Wellness.

More recently in 2019 in response to all that she learnt directly in her recovery from her own battle & growth with trauma & nervous system dysfunction, she passionately expanded into Somatic 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.
