200hr Integrative Yoga Teacher Training

STARTING FEBRUARY 2026

“Awaken the teacher within.”
A grounded, heart-led path to deepen your practice and share yoga from an integrated, embodied place.

A Trauma-Informed, Somatic, and Holistic Foundation in Yoga

This 200-hour training is a deeply embodied path for those seeking to live and share yoga from a place of presence, integrity, and inner knowing. It offers a unique integration of ancient yogic wisdom with contemporary trauma-informed, nervous system-based practices.

Rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga and expanded through somatic tools, polyvagal theory, and functional movement, this training gently guides students into personal transformation—while building the skills, confidence, and clarity needed to teach from lived experience.

Whether you're called to teach, deepen your self-practice, or bring yoga into your healing work or everyday life—this journey supports you in coming home to your body, breath, and authentic voice.

What Makes This Training Trauma-Informed?

We recognise that every student carries their own story—body, history, and lived experience—and that true transformation happens in safe, regulated, and respectful spaces.

This training is designed to be:

Nervous-system aware: We explore the science of safety through applied polyvagal theory, understanding how the body holds stress, trauma, and resilience.
Somatically led: Students learn to listen to the body’s subtle cues through practices in internal tracking, somatic mapping, and embodiment.
Choice-based and invitational: All practices are offered in a way that supports autonomy, boundaries, and inner agency—without pushing, fixing, or overriding.
Relational and grounded in connection: We work in circle, creating a compassionate container for personal exploration, co-regulation, and shared learning.

This training doesn't just teach you how to instruct yoga—it holds you in a journey of becoming more fully yourself, so that what you offer is rooted in truth and integrity.

About Integrative Yoga

Integrative Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that weaves together the traditional eight- and seven-limbed yogic paths with modern embodiment and somatic tools. It is a living, evolving system that brings together:

Classical teachings from the Gheranda Samhita and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras
Alignment-based, spinal-safe asana
Myofascial release and functional movement
Nervous system education and applied polyvagal theory
Yin yoga and internal tracking
Pranayama, mudra, mantra, meditation
Trauma-informed sequencing and language

Through this synthesis, we engage the body, breath, mind, emotions, and spirit in a unified and respectful way—inviting profound insight, integration, and liberation (moksha).

A Living Philosophy: The 10-Limbed Path

The Integrative Yoga system unfolds through a unique 10-limbed framework that builds a holistic, sustainable practice:

Shatkama – Purification of the body through kriya
Yama – Ethical grounding and relational clarity
Niyama – Cultivation of inner integrity and self-discipline
Asana – Spinal-safe posture as a vehicle for steadiness
Mudra & Bandha – Energy cultivation and subtle body activation
Pranayama & Mantra – Breathwork and sound to clear stagnation
Pratyahara – Withdrawing the senses to return to center
Dharana – Concentration and focus of mind
Dhyana – Meditation and embodied awareness
Samadhi – Union and liberation

This layered, compassionate approach allows each student to meet the teachings at their own pace and level of readiness.

Justine Sydenham

For nearly two decades, Justine Sydenham has been immersed in the study and practice of Integrative Healing Arts. She is a Reiki Master, 500-hour ERYT Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Bodyworker, Integrative Energy Healer, Retreat Facilitator, and the founder of Sangha Yoga Studio.

At the heart of her work is a deeply embodied, trauma-informed approach that gently invites people home to themselves. Her favorite yoga quote, “We use asana to get into our bodies, not our bodies to get into asana,” beautifully reflects her philosophy: that these sacred practices are not about performance, but about presence—a soft re-wilding that guides us back to who we truly are.

Justine is passionate about weaving somatic mapping, intuitive embodied movement, and elemental energy medicine into all her offerings. Her work focuses on recalibrating and healing the nervous system—creating space for deep, lasting transformation.

Her life’s work is inspired by Moksha, the Sanskrit term for freedom and liberation—of the body, the mind, and the whole of life.

Karen Pike

A teacher of yoga for almost 10 years, Sangha co-owner Karens love for the practice of yoga deepened when she was in her early 40s. Expanding on her 5 year certification as an Instructor of Bodybalance (a tai chi, yoga and pilates inspired group fitness class) Karen under the guidance of her teacher and mentor Danny Fremantle began teaching yoga at Divine Wellbeing.

Completing her 500 hour teacher training, co-facilitated by Danny and Michael DeManincor of the Yoga Institute, Karen's desire to teach continued. Karen has since studied trauma sensitive yoga, 20 and 25 hours consecutively Yin teacher training, Reiki Level 1 and 2 with Justine Sydenham and continues to practice, study and learn through the many resources available from the great teachers of our time.

Travis Chambers

Hi, I’m Travis

I teach yoga as a living practice—one that blends ancient wisdom with the rhythm of modern life. Rooted in the traditions of Yoga, I believe that as we deepen our practice, experience, and the state of yoga itself, we begin to notice the default patterns and reactions that pull us away from clarity, connection, and presence.

With thousands of hours of teaching experience, I’ve trained both locally and internationally, including years as a lead trainer at one of Melbourne’s busiest yoga studios. My goal is simple: to meet you where you are—on the mat and in life—and help you move in the direction of more.

— Judi W, Corowa NSW

“Life changing is an understatement.”
This training was a journey of self-discovery—stripping back the layers and becoming the best version of myself. I left with the tools to teach and a heart full of gratitude for the incredible wisdom and generosity of the facilitators.
