Peer super-visionary circles & CPD events
At YTC we believe in the power of sangha and by extension how we can come together to support each other to flourish in our yoga therapy practice.
We have named our peer support circles super-visionary, to open our hearts and minds to see further and deeper into ourselves and our work (service). We know that supervision is important for safe and effective clinical practice and so we are committed as a professional body to offer this web of support to both students and qualified therapists.
We will hold quarterly circles: confidential online spaces for you to self -reflect and unpack issues related to your practice, client work or your case studies, if you are a student.
Our circles are facilitated according to our living values framework and unity in diversity code. An elder yoga therapist will co- ordinate and steer each group, holding the frame and space.
The circles aim to build:
Community, open communication, learning and trust.
Some common issues that we expect you will bring and that many therapists encounter in their practice include: losing of integrity, creeping imposter syndrome, diminishing professional focus, burn out, caring fatigue or vicarious trauma.
In addition you might have some challenges related to clients: observations and dynamics that you would like to discuss. This is the space to gain assurance, advice and feedback.

Understanding the embodied shadow & energy hygiene in the therapeutic relationship
This CPD yoga therapy workshop explores the theme of projection, the embodied shadow, and energy hygiene for therapists, offering an informative and reflective space to deepen professional self-awareness. Participants will develop a somatic understanding of projection—learning how unacknowledged needs, unresolved pain, and unconscious material can shape therapeutic relationships and subtly influence perception, boundaries, and responses in practice.
The workshop also introduces the concept of energy enmeshment and energy hygiene supporting therapists to recognise when they may be absorbing client material, becoming entangled in power dynamics, or moving outside their grounded therapeutic role. Through guided inquiry and embodied exploration, attendees will be invited to meet their own inner shadow, inner critic with curiosity and compassion, strengthening their capacity to stay present, clear, and ethically resourced in client work. This session supports therapists in cultivating sustainable energetic boundaries and a more attuned, resilient therapeutic presence. 🌿
