teachers

Calli and Carl, are two of the most inspiring human beings I’ve ever met. They genuinely love what they do and teach from the heart, their passion for yoga is in every single class, workshop and discussion, their approach to yoga is modern and evolutive.

Your heartfelt guidance has helped all of us in more ways than you could imagine; to break through fear, self doubt, nerves and the 'I'm not good enough' story we tell ourselves to become confident yoga teachers with our own styles and the confidence to let our personalities shine through.

Being taught by Calli for my Teacher Training has been nothing else but fantastic. Not only did she guide me to explore my practice but she introduced new sensations and experiences. Calli is creating the most beautiful and creative flows with a lot of thought and intention behind. Having practiced with her for years I’ve recognised that she'll forever bring something new to the mat, always exploring and sharing. Calli is such an inspiration and is without doubt one of the best teachers in London. Having done my training with her helped me to find my centre, I will forever be grateful for having Calli as my teacher.

The YTT was like diving down deep into a new way of experiencing myself and nothing and everything all at once. I learnt much more than how to teach physical yoga shapes. I learnt about ancient Vedic and Hindu Philosophy, and the history of Yoga. About the application of these philosophical frameworks onto our modern lives. I was throughly instructed in precise anatomy and its relevance to yoga alignment, for ease and safety in my own yoga practice as well as classes I now devise. Sequencing details and the way that energy can be directed were thoroughly explained and taught , as was a more metaphysical exploration into what it means to be alive. And all of this was carefully interwoven into a rock solid and grounded, in-depth look at each yoga asana, and the subtleties of each pose. And this is literally the tip of the iceberg.

The experience I had of being guided and led through such “juicy” topics by Carl and Calli, was one of leaning into a trusting and responsive body of knowledge. One that has always been there, yet is recreated each time anew. They are both phenomenal teachers, firm and nurturing, extremely knowledgable in their field and committed to the advancement and journey of every single student. I was in utter shock in the first week when they said to us we’d be teaching in a matter of weeks, and yet by the last assessment (NB not the first, but let’s not talk about that..) there was a room full of yoga teachers chomping at the bit to teach and enthusiastic to to start finding their own voices outside of the course upon graduation.

Carl is an extremely passionate teacher, generous with his words and heart, as well as his ever expanding and deepening pool of knowledge. He leads the way forward with conscientious awareness and joy, and is one of the most authentic people I think I have ever met. His focus is laser sharp, and this coupled with a deep connectedness to himself and all that come into his field creates a warm and easy, and completely confident environment in which to learn.

After just a couple of training sessions / workshops with Cali I feel my teaching has already improved significantly. The CPD gave me the tools to teach in a way that truly honours my intention. The topics are fascinating and Cali delivers them in such a way that they are both profoundly inspiring and understandable. Just wonderful. Thank you.

I didn't think that I'd do another Yoga TT, so this has come as a total surprise to me! Until your classes this year, I'd lost my inspiration and enthusiasm for yoga. I feel reinspired by the movement and yoga you bring. I know that when I begin teaching again, this is the way I want to teach, it feels intuitive, joyful and a natural/ playful approach, from the movement to the hands-on support given, so different to how I've been taught before and a refreshing approach to movement and yoga. Thank you for bringing this yoga and training into the world.

I found this CPD totally liberating as a yoga teacher. It has given me permission to teach in a way that is student rather than posture centred. Calli is such generous spirit, the days were thoughfully put together, and I loved every minute. -

This training was very powerful and insightful for me. It opened my eyes to the huge range of potential we have as yoga teachers to encourage our students to move their bodies in so many beautiful ways that feel suitable for their own self and also the vast amount of language we can use to help our students visualize the movements and to create a poetic feel to the class. Calli's style of encouraging us as teacher's to really embody and feel her teachings so that we can share it from an authentic space was very empowering. Her passion for her teachings is very contagious and also helps to make the material very digestible as she teaches from her heart. I am convinced that this soft and yet still strong and powerful way of moving has the potential to bring so much healing to our bodies on a physical, mental and emotional level. Thank you Calli for breathing some life back in to my yoga journey.

It is hard to put into words how wonderful this CPD course was and how wonderful Calli's approach to teaching is. Her knowledge of the human body and how every aspect of the body must be considered as a whole whilst practicing yoga is breaking traditional yoga styles and really bringing a more wholesome and appropriate way of teaching yoga in the West. The more Embodied approach is something I have felt very much in my own practice and so will definitely be weaving much of what I have learnt into my future classes. I can't thank her enough for her openness, kindness and guidance.

Calli’s energy is a force to be reckoned with. She is like an arrow finding the bulls eye every time, and her infectious enthusiasm for teaching, for yoga and generally for life is beyond moving to be around. She is an extremely thorough and strong teacher and gives herself fully to teaching this course. Spending this time in her company, and learning from her felt like I must've done something really, really good last lifetime. I could not have imagined doing this course anywhere else or with anyone else, and I am definitely much changed and forever grateful.

Calli’s passion is infectious and her knowledge is extensive, I loved being inside her brain for the weekend. The CPD and practicing regularly with Calli has bought a whole new level of awareness for my self practice and I’m looking foreword to sharing this with students.

Calli's CPD is one of the best trainings I have ever done. I have been teaching for many years and was yearning for a reminder of why I love the practise of yoga so much. Over the course of the weekend I gained a huge amount of insight, inspiration and incredible wisdom from Calli who is just bursting with knowledge and passion. From embryology to the nervous system, to creative language and conscious assisting - each topic was shared articulately and with plenty of time for discussion and integration. I would recommend this training to new and experienced teachers alike - anyone who is interested in teaching from an embodied perspective. It's a world class offering and there should be more things like this out there!

I've never experienced teachings and energy quite like Calli. She’s an exceptional teacher with an eloquent way of explaining sometimes hard to grasp concepts and anatomy. This CPD exceeded all expectations and was well structured - a great mix of theory, feeling, partner work and discussions. I would highly recommend and cannot wait to join her for more embodied learning soon. She’s the best!

Completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Embodied Beings was one of the most profound and inspiring experiences of my life. What Calli is doing here is so much more than just training yoga teachers; she is actively changing the landscape of yoga for the better.

Calli and Georgie are truly inspirational, passionate, nurturing, and incredibly knowledgeable, always thinking creatively and with such genuine warmth. I came away feeling like a different person, with an embodied practice that has transformed how I move and think daily. Beyond the incredible training and profound personal growth, I've made lifelong friends with likeminded people and I cannot wait to share this embodied practice with other people.

I can’t say enough good things about Embodied Beings Teacher Training.  From the very first session, it was clear this wasn’t just another yoga teacher training—it was a deep dive into presence, self-awareness, and compassionate teaching.

Cali, Carl & Georgie are not only deeply knowledgeable, but also incredibly intuitive and supportive. They held a safe, nurturing space for transformation, where each of us felt seen, heard, and encouraged to grow at our own pace. The level of personal attention and feedback far exceeded my expectations. What set this training apart was its focus on authenticity—both on and off the mat.

It’s hard to find the words for Calli’s magic. She provides a safe space for you to explore movement in a way that feels delicious for your body. Moving with her means losing all sense of conscious thought and turning instead into a fluid, rhythmic, marshmallow of a human. I love her classes, and am yet to meet somebody that doesn’t, but her teacher trainings are something else entirely. Incredible physical teaching, with such a clear passion for embodied practise and functional anatomy, all delivered in wonderful and diverse communities of people. The best teacher I’ve ever found, and a beautiful person through and through.

I've left Calli's teacher training full of creativity, inspiration and plenty of light bulb moments! She creates a safe space of acceptance , fun and self enquiry. This was different to any other yoga teacher trainings I've been on in all the best ways and I felt enabled to fully express myself as a teacher, I'm very grateful for the experience.

Flo and Calli are clearly so very passionate about this topic. I would definitely recommend this training if you want to feel more confident in holding space for people in a restful way.

The vast experience and wealth of knowledge provided by Calli and Flo was also amazing- it felt a privilege to learn from two such thoughtful, caring people. The time felt fun and safe- it has inspired me to learn and experience more embodied practices and living.

Calli and Jocie are an excellent partnership, each of them having their own experiences to share. So much scientific and biological information was shared, it really shows how much knowledge these teachers have! A must if you are wanting to support new mums and parents through this journey.

This is my third training with Calli and second with Calli and Jocie - they are truly gifted teachers, warm hearted lovely people and hold excellent trainings. Each training is carefully curated with well rounded content, and everything is intelligently interwoven so that even though it was a post natal yoga training I know I learned so many tools and approaches that I can apply to all of my teaching! I cannot recommend training with embodied beings enough, they hit the mark every time.

It has been by far one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to sign up to Back to the Heart YTT. It has changed the way I practice and I have been able to teach in ways I never thought I would, and given me so much confidence in knowing I can do hard things. Calli teaches in such a way that encourages freedom, inclusivity and fun, and the friends you make along the way are the biggest bonus.

I have grown and learnt so much in the last 6 months, it's difficult to put into words. I have come away with so much more than I could have asked for. I've found my voice, confidence to teach and an incredible community of newly qualified teachers (and life long friends) to share this next chapter with. Calli, Georgie and Carl - I'm so grateful for you all. Thank you for eveything you shared, and most importantly thank you for being genuine, authentic, beautiful embodied human beings.

I honestly feel blown away by this heart felt, meticulously crafted training. Calli pours her wisdom, passion and beautiful soul into everything she shares; from exceptional anatomy classes to beautiful sequencing, and truly feeling everything in between - it was really magical. As someone who had previously completed a teacher training several years ago, who was lacking confidence, feeling lost and very anxious about the thought of teaching, I can now proudly say this training has restored faith in my practice, my ability to share what I love and trust in myself.

This training and practise of embodied movement has been transformative. You won’t find students perfectly moulded into a mirror image of their teacher here, you will find students supported in finding and honouring their own unique voice and expression. Walking into something like this it can be easy to feel alone – to wonder if you should have done more yoga and worked on becoming more flexible before signing up. But on this training I found a community I could walk hand in hand with, people who continue to be my loudest and proudest supporters regardless of whether I can touch my toes or pull off crow pose with aplomb. Through Calli I learnt that the heart of yoga isn’t about how beautifully you can pull off a shape but instead about moving from a place of presence and connection. I am so grateful to you both Calli and Georgie – you are magic.

Having a depth of experience in the room along with the knowledge brought from Cali & Jocie made for an incredibly insightful, rich training. The very essence of bringing the woman to the centre of her experience was mind blowing. I had no idea that was not the case & I now feel ready & excited to share this and empower.

I was not sure where this training would lead me but I felt called to learn more about pregnancy to support my clients. Calli and Jocies’ clear passion for this subject oozes out of them and you can’t help but feel inspired by this. They left no stone unturned and the material was so far reaching and super detailed. I would 100% recommend this course, it’s totally transformed the way I think about pregnancy.

An awe inspiring, carefully curated course that has left me feeling so well informed and confident. Calli and Jocie are both incredibly knowledgable and share their wisdom with such kindness and clarity. They both created such a safe and nurturing space to navigate the complexities of pregnancy and birth.

Calli and Josie's knowledge really complimented each other covering lots of important topics surrounding both pregnancy and birth. It felt like a powerful collective experience of women getting together talking about something we are just not taught about enough! I found it quite emotional and empowering all at the same time. I signed up for self knowledge but I do now feel confident to guide pregnant people thorough practice that's not focused on fear. Theres so much in there I'm sure I will keep going back to over the years as the information is so rich. Big thanks to both of you. Very Grateful.

WOW!! What can I say, I got so much more from this course than I could have ever imagined. Being in early stages of pregnancy while doing the course has literally given me so much reassurance, confidence and empowerment. I feel like it will transform my own pregnancy journey, birth and my yoga practice, but I love I can share this incredibly valuable knowledge and help to also empower others. Thank you Calli & Jocie so much, your wisdom and passion for this subject is just amazing and I loved being part of it.

I’m still feeling the ripples months later from what has been my favourite training to date. There was just the most beautiful sense of connection and community, making for such a safe space to learn and soak up all this mind-bending (in the best way) information. Never once did I feel uncomfortable to not know something or to ask questions. I was really sad when it ended and already can’t wait to attend another CPD with embodied beings! It’s a very special way to share and soak up knowledge that I truly believe makes all the lives around you softer and richer. Very very grateful for both Jocie’s & Calli’s constant kindness and deep understanding and wisdom surrounding all things in the Prenatel world.

I wish Callis training was the first I had done. She teaches with unmatched passion, blending cutting-edge science with her unique style. Calli didn't teach me how to teach a set sequence, she taught me how to explore my own body, she taught me how to be curious, and follow what lights me up, and to bring that into my classes. She's taught me how to teach from the heart. I'm equipped and excited to go out into the world full of excitement to share my newfound teachings with the world! Thank you Calli.

Calli and Jocie are founts of knowledge, and it was such a privilege to be able to learn from them through lectures, discussions, and embodied practice. Their approach to prenatal yoga shifts the narrative from what can't be done in pregnancy to showing students all the amazing things their bodies are capable of, and empowering them in this incredible journey. I've come away from the course feeling inspired and confident in not only modifying classes for pregnancy, but teaching pregnancy-focused classes, assisting clients through the different stages of their pregnancy, preparing and empowering them for labour, and guiding them in learning to trust in their innate wisdom.

Jocie and Calli’s collective experience and knowledge was so inspiring and helpful. The movement practices throughout the course were an absolute dream!

So grateful to have found this training. I had been looking for a prenatal training for a while that took an embodied approach and was focused on what a pregnant body CAN do - this was exactly what this training was. I learnt how to support a pregnant person throughout their pregnancy in functional ways, yet from an embodied perspective. Loved it! Thank you!

Calli and Jocie are wonderful facilitators and also shared beautiful practices with us! So grateful to have been able to join this training :-)
