Marie Williams Yoga

Calling all yoga teachers…

INTRODUCING…
THE ARCHITECTURE & ALCHEMY OF VINYASA FLOW 🌀

A 100-hour professional teaching immersion designed for yoga teachers who want to move beyond qualification and into confident, intelligent, embodied teaching.

If you’re a yoga teacher based in Norwich and looking to refine your craft, find new inspiration, and offer your students classes with more layers and depth… this might be for you.

Myself & Abby Hoffman, owner & founder of Yantra Studio will be offering this 100HR immersion in-person in Norwich beginning in October 2026. The training will run across 4 weekend modules, with additional online training and content to support your learning.

THE ARCHITECTURE 🧱 - with Abby
The first two modules will explore how a class is built: its structure, rhythm, pacing and progression; the relationship between music and movement; and how an understanding of Flow Psychology can help us create experiences that feel absorbing, purposeful and memorable. Abby’s approach isn’t about learning someone else’s sequences or being given a formula to reproduce, it’s about understanding the principles deeply enough to make intelligent creative choices of your own.

THE ALCHEMY 🪄 - with Marie Williams
The second two modules will be taught by me and take us into an in-depth awareness of the more subtle territory of teaching and the art and craft of holding space. This will of course be drawn from my own teaching style and background in somatics; inspiring you to alchemise what you have learnt in the architecture module to create authentic and intentional classes and immersive embodied experiences for your students. We’ll explore embodied anatomy, somatic movement principles, body-led language & cueing, teaching presence, and knowledge and understanding of the nervous system.

Sound like it could be the right fit for you?
Join us for the ‘A&A’ Immersion Day on Saturday 12th September Yantra Studio - an opportunity to experience this approach before deciding whether the full training is right for you 😊

I’ve been feeling very quiet and introverted after a busy few months of outward energy, hosting retreats, workshops and teacher trainings.

I’ve found myself feeling drawn back towards my 1:1 client work, to slower, more intimate spaces of connection. And, alongside that, making a little more room for my own learning, reflection and care.

One thing I’ve realised is that I rarely talk about my Somatic Therapy work here… This space has always been largely yoga-focused, and over the last three years I’ve been fortunate that my therapy practice has grown enough organically, that I haven’t actually needed to advertise my services.

But it also means many people don’t really know what I do beyond yoga, or what somatic therapy actually is.

The more I deepen into this work, the more I feel it’s important to share it. Not because I have all the answers, but because I’ve witnessed how profoundly healing it can be when we include the body in the process of healing, recovery and self-understanding.

I’ve been sitting with questions about how to share this work in a way that feels true to me. Without chasing trends or clickbait. Without feeling pulled into comparison. Just slowly finding a language that feels honest, embodied and real.

So for now, I’m allowing myself to stay with those questions rather than rushing towards certainty.

I’m also spending some time immersed in further therapeutic study 🙇‍♀️

So if I’ve seemed a little quieter lately, that’s why.

I’m still here. Living a little more slowly. Spending time with friends and family. Enjoying my own company. Learning. Listening.

And, when the time feels right, my intention is to share more of this part of my work with you ❤️
