Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at hinterlandvillage@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What level of yoga experience is required?

A consistent yoga practice and sincere interest in learning are more important than flexibility or advanced postures.

You do not need to be able to perform complex asanas.
You do need to be willing to:

slow down
listen to the body
learn from sensation and experience

This training values awareness and presence over physical achievement.

What makes this TTC different from other 200-hour trainings?

Most TTCs focus on posture, sequencing, and performance.
This training focuses on how the nervous system shapes movement, breath, attention, and behaviour.

Here, regulation is not a module — it is the foundation of:

how practices are taught
how learning is paced
how rest is honoured
how teaching responsibility is understood

You will learn why certain approaches overwhelm people, and how to teach in a way that supports safety, capacity, and long-term wellbeing.

Is this a trauma-therapy or therapeutic training?

No.
This is a yoga teacher training, not a therapy or trauma-treatment program.

That said, the training is nervous-system-informed, which means:

practices are paced carefully
language is non-invasive
safety and choice are prioritised
emotional responses are respected, not pushed

The work is held ethically, without catharsis, force, or personal disclosure pressure.

How do I know if this training is right for me?

This training is right for you if:

you are drawn to depth rather than speed
you value safety over intensity
you want to understand your own nervous system deeply
you feel the responsibility of holding space for others

If the language and pace of this page resonate, that is often the clearest sign.

Will there be strong physical or intense practices?

You will learn the foundations of Hatha Yoga, so some mobility is required, however practices can be adapted to your needs.

You will also learn somatic practices which
are slow, embodied, and sustainable.

The emphasis is on:

joint health
nervous system safety
breath and internal sensing
reducing unnecessary effort

This is not a physically challenging or endurance-based training.
