Who this training is for

Is this training for you?

If you’re a coach: your clients get insight but stay stuck, and you want a body-based tool that moves them past that.
If you teach yoga or dance: you want an offer no other teacher in your area has, and a reason for students to choose you.
You may not tick every formal credential. If you're embodied and called, Pip will have an honest conversation with you about fit.

What you learn
to create

Your clients have been taught to manage their emotions, explain them or push through them. Somatic dance gives them a way back into the body, where the holding happens and where release becomes possible. Your role is to guide that safely.

Teaching steps Reading the body in front of you
A playlist and hope A journey built with intention
Panicking when tears come Holding what surfaces with confidence
A good class A shift people carry home

Those are ingredients. Mastery is knowing how to make the cake, and mastery requires reps. You practise, facilitate, get observed and receive feedback.

You already hold space.
Now go deeper.

A training for women: coaches, yoga teachers, dance teachers and movement professionals who are ready to bring somatic depth into their work and guide others safely through what surfaces.

The Somatic Dance Facilitator Training is a three-level pathway from personal experience to professional practice. It begins with The Inner Journey and grows from there.

Dance teachers & movement practitioners

Pip Elysium

Pip has been dancing since the age of two and teaching since she was nineteen. She trained through the Legat School of Ballet professional programme, studied choreography with Siobhan Davies as part of her degree, performed with Candoco Dance Company, and co-founded AcroYogaDance in London, teaching thousands of students.

She has headlined at the OM Yoga Show, taught at Wanderlust and Bestival, led workshops for Lululemon, Adidas Women and Sweaty Betty, performed at Wembley Stadium for an audience of 70,000, and appeared on three yoga magazine covers.

After a year unable to move with a back injury, and a period of grief, dance became something else for her: a way to feel and release what words couldn’t reach. She spent six years in Bali shaping that into Somatic Dance, and now trains movement professionals to guide it for others.

Women who've moved
through this work

“

I've grown so quickly over a short period of time. I didn't expect somatic dance to reach me the way it did. It bypassed everything my mind had put up as a barrier.

I am hugely pleased with my progress.

It was much more than a dance class… it was a journey of awareness and self-expression.
