My journey in this yoga teacher training was wildly transformational. I came with no self-confidence, broken, and fearful. I’m leaving with an open heart filled with joy, empowered and feeling like the magic I am. There is not one thing that I would have changed.
Here at Her Temple, we approach yoga a little... differently.
What is Somatic Yoga?!
Our approach to yoga is different than you might be used to.
Movement. Movement is medicine. Especially, conscious movement. By blending the arts of somatics and yoga, we. empower you to connect to your body’s wisdom above all else. While learning foundational yoga asana (postures) is a key portion of this training, it’s not the dominant focus. We explore intuitive and spontaneous movements that emerge from within, micro-movements, as well as primal movement patterns that support the functional integration of the entire body.
Meditation. Meditation is the foundation of where yoga comes from! We think of yoga as “meditation in motion.” Many forms of seated meditation work wonderfully for taking one “up and out.” In other words, meditation can be used to develop consciousness, spirituality, discernment, and connection to the Universe. We love this and also utilize forms of meditation designed to take one “down and in” – meaning meditation practices that are designed to help you connect more deeply to your body, humanity, emotions, and sensuality.
Intuition. Many yoga practices can become prescriptive by nature. The yoga we teach is not. While this program provides a strong foundation and structure needed to understand how to safely and competently guide a group of humans through a yoga practice, we also teach how to awaken internal movement impulses, somatic intelligence, and intuitive yoga from within (known as sahaja)
Integration. We honor and respect the many powerful lineages from which yoga emerges and we have studied. This program is not strictly taken from any one lineage, and is an approach that INTEGRATES a myriad of ancient teachings and yoga practices with modern neuroscience
Feminine form. Many of the yoga practices we know today in the west were created by and for male bodies. This program is led by and for womxn, and we are carving a new path to explore how yoga emerges from and for the feminine form.
Trauma-informed. Being trauma-informed is not optional nowadays. This program has trauma-integration as a key pillar and foundation, and teaches a style of yoga that works WITH the nervous system rather than against it.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This training is a deep dive into the embodied and enheartened path of teaching yoga for healers, movers, seekers, and feelers. In this immersive training, you’ll dive into all aspects of your yoga practice from asana and intuitive movement, to breathwork and meditation, to ayurveda, yoga psychology and more.
Develop a deep and resonant connection to your own Inner Being as a foundational pillar of your ever evolving yoga practice.
Activate your inner leadership skills to transmute these practices onward in the world with confidence, grace, and authenticity.
This is so much more than a yoga teacher training. It is an initiation designed to support you in stepping through the portals of the body, heart, and mind into your full power, purpose, and presence.
“Kaity has a presence like no one I have ever met, she embodies what it means to be a true Yogini. She creates an incredible community for learning, growing, and sharing!”

Transformative, cathartic, inspirational, affirming, grounding, and luscious! I was told by friends that Yoga Teacher Training would change my life, but it was hard to understand what they meant. From this training, I gained family, community, connection, insight, and purpose. I have learned how to care for myself, how to show up with authenticity and heart, and how to share what I love about yoga with others. I never anticipated going on to be a teacher…and yet, now I feel compelled to find a way to continue to grow and learn. I long to give back!

This training was one of the most beautiful and powerful experiences of my life. Kaity is probably the most intelligent, wise, compassionate teacher and leader in the world (not kidding!) I am now proud to be a YTT 200hr Yoga Teacher, but mostly, a better human.
This has been an amazing, transformative yoga teacher training. It has given me more than what I ever expected. I found that my body is strong and capable, and that I can honor and love my body and not push so hard. The training was so well planned, organized, presented, led, and facilitated. It led me on a path to become my authentic self and more spiritually connected.
This is where you awaken your alchemical magic.
Hi, I’m Kaity
Thank you for your curiosity about our Somatic Yoga Teacher Training!
I believe you’ve landed on this webpage and are called to this work for a reason.
I was initiated into the journey of yoga and somatics during my personal process of healing from trauma and mental health imbalances. This work has been a game changer, not just for healing trauma but for allowing me to EXPAND into the vibrant woman I am today.
Here at Her Temple, you are your own healer. Our Training simply offer you tools, support, guidance, and space for activating your healing super powers and sharing your gifts back with the world.
If you feel blocked in loving yourself deeply, feel stuck around manifesting your dreams into reality, want to have better sex and relationships, want to feel more passionately alive, want to help your body let go of chronic pain and tension, and want to stop feeling small and powerless in your life, THEN this is the space for you.
F.A.Q
Do I have to join all of the modules?
Yes, when you sign up you are committing to all modules. It is required for certification, and creates a cohesive, committed community of students (which is arguably one of the best parts of the training!) The Embodiment Retreat is encouraged but not required.
How much homework is there between initiations?
We prefer to use the term SoulWork, as opposed to homework 😉 There will be reading assignments, yoga practices, reflection exercises, pre-recorded lectures, live-online class, and teaching practice hours that are required between initiations.
It amounts to 5-10 hours of course work per week.
What is required for certification?
You’ll be required to complete all of the training modules, in addition to 10 Practicum Teaching Hours during mentorship. The Practicum will be supported by additional supervision and mentorship, included in your training costs.
What is included in the Integrative Mentorship?
The mentorship is the portion of the training where you’re invited to INTEGRATE all of the many skills you’ve learned and embodied through offering yoga classes to real-life students. There are 10 practicum hours required for certification.
These hours are supported by group mentorship calls where you’ll be supported in continuing to refine your teaching skills, gain confidence in your teaching, and heal through the initiation of true embodied leadership. Think of this part of the program as the bridge that takes eases you from our immersive training container into your role as a teacher out in the world.
These practicum hours must be completed by our final mentorship call (July, 2023).
How much of the course is online?
There will be live-online anatomy immersions in between initiations, pre-recorded video materials, an online community, and mentorship will be online. The core of this class is predominately in person.
I can't make the live-online classes and calls. Can I still participate?
For certification, you will be required to attend at least 50% of all live-online classes and all in-person initiations. There are pre-recorded yoga classes to take as a part of certification as well 🙂
Please get in touch if you’d like to join but aren’t sure you’ll be able to make the live classes. kaity@hertemplehealing.com
How much does the embodiment retreat cost?
The retreat is an optional add-on and price will vary depending on your accommodation choice.
It will be located at Xinalani Retreat Center. You can read more and sign up here.
There is no guarantee that there will be space for you to join, but if we fill up you’ll be added to the top of the waitlist for the following year.
Is the embodiment retreat required?
The embodiment retreat is not required for certification. However, it’s highly encouraged for you to come if you can make it.

Upon completion of the training, what will I be certified in?

What is your cancellation policy?
For payment plans, you are committing to 100% of payments regardless of whether you choose to complete to entire program or not. Payment plans cannot be discontinued.
This Teacher Training was an amazing experience. Kaity’s grounded and caring personality really created a safe space for all of us to be authentically ourselves. Her presence allowed for me to be open. The training has definitely equipped me with the tools and knowledge to teach.
I came to this training with an open heart and no expectation other than to receive and embrace everything that came my way. I have left with more than I could have ever dreamt of and friendships that many only dream of. Thank you Kaity, you have made me, me.
I feel more than prepared to teach and share this knowledge with students and seekers. Kaity’s breadth of resources and information was weaved seamlessly through the training at just the right time. Her ability to be present, transparent, and consistent was an integral part of the alchemical transformations that occurred in my personal experience and as I witnessed of other participants. I highly recommend this program for any yogi’s inspired to teach from a place of confidence and open-hearted service.
Curious if this is right for you?
