Ali and Dawn share a history in common, both being brought up in the Jehovah's Witness cult, just a few miles apart in the beautiful town of Edinburgh, Scotland.

- Season 3: Episode 11 A time for change with Dawn Lister and Daniel GroomIn May 2023, Daniel Groom, our co-host and co-founder of Anahata Yoga Centre decided to step away from Directorship and Management of Anahata Yoga Centre. A decision not made lightly, but one that also comes with opening space for his personal and professional development.As Daniel continues to teach Yoga at Anahata and co-host Retreats with Dawn Lister, he now embarks on his new path of becoming a Counsellor which he will offer alongside his Yoga Therapy work.The theme surrounding this open and honest conversation between our co-founders is CHANGE.To recognise the 'pull' our bodies feel when change is needed, to change direction that feels more aligned with our values and what we want to model. To face fears, be honest to ourselves and others, and to follow our instincts.Following the end of lockdown, Daniel realised he wanted to change his career path and deepen his therapeutic studies, and in this conversation he opens up about how he recognised his feelings and the journey so far, and the emotional and honest process involved to make the leap of faith.We hope you enjoy this episode, which we feel is a very apt end to this season of From The Heart. Thank you very much for your continued support of our Podcast and thank you to Daniel for co-hosting three amazing seasons. Please join us in wishing Daniel Groom the very best.We look forward to bringing you a new Season of From The Heart very soon, which will be hosted solely by Dawn Lister, who will be having deep and profound conversations with inspiring people, which are topical and relevant to our ever changing world.***From The Heart is a podcast about Yoga, Mindfulness, healing and wellbeing from Dawn Lister and Daniel Groom, founders of Anahata Yoga Centre, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, UK.Conversations in this light hearted, kind and honest podcast series brings together people who have found ways to practise self-care in their lives, by sharing their knowledge, experiences and insights.Anahata is a heart centred and nurturing Wellbeing Studio in Leigh on Sea, Essex.

1 hr 19 min - Season 3, Episode 9: Yoga, trauma and wellbeing with Dawn Lister, Daniel Groom and Aneta Idczak.
In this episode we talk to Aneta Idczak, an experienced Yoga, Mindfulness and Embodiment Teacher about how yoga teachers need to become aware of the levels of trauma people in their classes may be experiencing and to understand ways to hold a class that does not retraumatise the students and the power of a therapeutic yoga practise a tool for healing and support.
We discussed "what is safety", we looked at what consent means within a class structure and the importance of staying curious and open both as a teacher and a student.
We also spoke about the importance of working through our own trauma and wellbeing - "If your practice has become your teaching you are out of balance."
Aneta also spoke about being Polish and how wonderful the Polish people have been opening their arms to the Ukrainian refugees - a true sign of compassion.
Aneta, Daniel and Dawn were deeply moved by the importance of community as a healing tool and model for our world going forward. Gone are the days of the GURU's and the commercialisation of yoga, a new world is emerging post covid. In a world that feels volatile and unstable community and kindness, a deeper understanding of the need for trauma sensitive work within our communities that include people who do not practise yoga, therapists, body workers, and others who can support creates a world that is open to the possibility of change and greater love and wisdom.
We loved our chat with Aneta and felt we had so much more to talk about.
Aneta Idczak is an experienced Yoga, Mindfulness and Embodiment Teacher, Yoga Teacher Trainer and Yoga Business Mentor, as well as Somatic Coach, BSE and Focusing Practitioner and Bodyworker; She is a Founder of Golden Mandala Yoga-Soma Institute providing accredited Trauma-informed Yoga and Embodied Resilience Teacher Training and Mentoring (TREY), and various CPDs on Somatics and Trauma-informed Yoga.
Aneta works with needs-led integrative approach drawing on three decades of studying various psychological, therapeutic and body-focused modalities, and her approach is further influenced by over two decades of working in Social Care and in community with Trauma, Mental Health, Addiction, DV and child protection issues, and training and supervising front line workers.
You can find information about Aneta’s training and mentoring programmes including 80-Hr Trauma-informed Yoga and Embodied Resilience Teacher Training and Mentoring at www.anetai.co.uk.
You are also invited to join Aneta's community FB group called Trauma-Informed Yoga and Embodied Resilience for Social Impact - for weekly live trainings and interviews, resources and support.
