Nicole Allan & John allan
Nicole & John Allan come from a Yoga background first, over the past 5 years they have transformed their teaching style to become more inclusive to the diversity they have experienced as Yoga instructors and teacher trainers.
They hold the belief that all of us have experienced trauma to differing degrees and therefore the principles of trauma informed teaching can apply to all students and clients in a positive and empowering way.
Trauma informed teaching is aiming to give more invitation and choice back. Invitation and personal choice in a yoga practice, and also the ability to use these principles to empower ourselves to bring more choice and autonomy back into our lives beyond the yoga setting.
Trauma informed yoga initially is aiming to support each individual's experience of safety and how to cultivate simple awareness and personal resources.
We believe it is helpful to understand how our own physiology can throw us off balance and how we can all find tools that work for us to come back to balance. A trauma informed approach embraces the reality that all of us have different needs when it comes to our own personal healing, these practices are invitations to explore and discover what works for us as individuals. We believe in Inclusion to empowerment for both our external experience of the practice, yet also our internal experience of ourselves. Leaning to include all aspects in a gentle and safe way to work our way towards wholeness.
A little bit about Nicole...
Nicole initially trained as an early childhood educator and has a Bachelor of Education from Auckland University. Though she loved the theory and learning, teaching five days a week in early childhood centre did not resonate. While teaching early childhood she was introduced to Yoga and started practicing about one a week.
Not long after she left New Zealand and spent several years travelling, still maintaining a very minimal yoga practice while working in France through ski seasons. Nicole ended up travelling to India where everything changed, she learnt more about yogic philosophy and decided Yoga Teacher training was the next step. Returning back to NZ, she trained at The New Zealand School of Yoga under Mike and Sharon Byron-Mckay. The training was of B.K.S Iyengar style and was full time for a year. She qualified as a registered Yoga teacher with a 500RYT and an introduction to Yoga Therapy.
During this time her interests were expanding, including her interest for her own healing and self discovery. Ove the past 10 years training has never stopped, this includes: Reiki level 3, Yoga Nidra level 2, Acro Yoga Teacher Training, 200RYT Vinyasa Teacher training, Trauma Informed Yoga (TCTSY), Diploma of Counselling and Psychology, Online Trauma training with Peter Levine, Online somatic Trauma training with Albert Wong, Psych-K level 2, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Level 2, Hanna Somatics Level 1, Online 50hr Yin Yoga with Bernie Clark , Online Subtle Yoga Teacher Training with Kristine Weber, Eden Energy Medicine Level 1 and more.
Nicole's passion is cultivating Radical awareness, through the tools of self reflection. She believes the process of getting to know ourselves is the journey to freedom and that this happens in the most loving and empowering way through a Trauma informed perspective. Our physical body's, our minds, our emotions, our spiritual connection are all intimately interconnected and in essence need to be addressed as one to truly come home to ourselves.
