Here are some of feedback from the past participants: 
"I attended this a few years ago and still use the incredible content of the course to inform my teaching and practice" Sarah - Cranial-sacral Therapist 
"I spent a nurturing and nourishing week with Aki at Kilnhanger. Aki's passion for somatic inquiry both in movement and stillness was delivered beautifully.  There is a depth, truth and richness to her teaching that emanates from her own embodiment of these practices.  She brought together a talented and compassionate group and we were supported by beautiful surroundings and an amazing chef. I returned home a little bit different and continue to employ much of what I learnt in my practice and with my students."  
Dora - Yoga teacher 
"Aki's passion for this subject is infectious and I found it a deeply affecting experience. I am still integrating it.  The training revealed where I was in my embodiment process and where my work is - not necessarily a comfortable process but profoundly necessary - particularly as a teacher and facilitator.  Beautiful place, delicious food and fun dancing added much nourishment!"  
Tamsin - Psychotherapist, Trainer and facilitator

Workshop with Aki Omori & Jean Hall at Trigyoa, London, UK 
"Differentiate, Activate, Integrate - Ligaments and Bones"  
“... at birth every joint in the body is composed of membrane or cartilage, not bone. There is softness everywhere, the body is like liquid gold. There is less of a sense of division than at any other time.” Huge Milne

Join Aki + Jean in a weekend of experiential workshop sessions to explore, feel and understand how bones, ligaments + joints have their own distinct functionality + role within the body. You’ll discover how they relate and work together to create wholeness of activation and full movement connectivity and integration. We’ll delve into the theory of our structure, but more importantly into creative movement explorations through experiential anatomy along with somatic yoga practices to cultivate and notice how subtle awareness and small changes within us have the most profound effect on how we feel, breathe and move our body in the circumstances of our lives.

For further information and booking, please go to Triyoga Website.

Dates TBC.





Workshops, Retreats and Training Courses in 2018: 

April 8th, Sunday  
A weekend Yoga and Somatic workshop with Aki Omori and Jean Hall at Triyoga London 
"Opening the Window of Resilience" 
- Repatterning, reconnecting, rebalancing through movement + body awareness.

Through breath and movement exploration, discussion and sharing, this daylong workshop will enquire into the relationships between the health of the mind and the body from the perspectives of the brain, nervous system and developmental movements.


Learning about the primal functions of the brain and the nervous system, and how our individual history contributes to our unique tendencies, we can then apply this understanding to our experiences and awareness of movement. By taking time to slow down so we can recognise and sense into the fine texture of sensation and motion to help reconnect us to our intuition and inner knowing, we become more able to re-pattern, repair and re-balance ourselves in life’s on-going process of self learning and realisation.

Time: 10am - 5pm
Cost: £75
Booking: Please Contact Triyoga website by clicking here
