Authentic Flow 200h Yoga Teacher Training

- Where infinite becomes intimate

Upcoming training 2026/2027

Read what's included ↓

Authentic Flow® is a somatic path of presence, where authenticity is not a goal but a way of being. It’s not about perfecting movement but about returning to the felt truth of the body, moment by moment.

This is a practice of listening. Of letting the body speak through sensation, breath, sound, and space. Movement arises not as something we just do, but as something we are.

Flow Is Already Here

Flow happens when awareness and action merge and where effort gives way to presence. In movement, it might feel like grace unfolding from within. In life, like clarity led by intuition.

Authenticity is the ground. You meet the moment as you are.

The destination is always now. We are not going anywhere but here

In Authentic Flow, the body is not shaped, it shapes us. Each session is a dialogue between inner and outer, self and environment, sensation and meaning.

We don’t move to feel better. We move to get better at feeling

We learn to feel fully, truth-fully.

This shift opens the door to nervous system resilience, emotional clarity, and embodied connection.

Authentic Flow draws from:

Somatic awareness (body-mind centering®️)
Intuitive movement and dance
Sound and voice
Yoga, mantra & breath
Elemental and fluid embodiment
Non-dual Tantrik philosophy
Sensory attention and deep listening

These are not tools to escape but to come closer. To what is already present. To what is already you.

Here, movement arises from within. It’s guided by impulse, breath, sensation, not imposed from the outside.

We let the body lead. We let the body speak. And as it moves, we are moved toward wholeness, agency, and ease.

Authentic Flow is like a sacred return, a space to reconnect to your body beyond conditioning and expectation. It is spirituality rooted in that body and the body of Earth. Not through belief, but through direct experience. Through the breath, the bones, fluids, organs and the unseen. Its radical presence and not transcendence.

Here, truth is not sought. It is sensed, lived, and embodied.

The Language of Sound

Sound vibrates through tissue, breath, and emotion. It doesn’t fix, it frees. Whether through beats, drum, piano, voice, or silence, sound helps us remember what lives beneath conditioning.

Sound, like movement, becomes truth made audible.

A Return to What Is Real

This is a way home.

To your rhythm.

To the body.

To the Truth of being

Authentic Flow is a practice of remembering, through presence, sensation, and soul, that you are already whole.

“What Satu’s training offered me was a door. And the world that resides beyond that door was phenomenal. This new world is just an endless delight.”

What You’ll Walk Away With

From the 200-Hour Yoga & Somatics Teacher Training

This training is more than a CT certification, it’s a rite of return. A deep initiation into embodied leadership, somatic wisdom, and authentic transmission. You’ll leave with the skills, confidence, and presence to hold space in a way that is deeply real, resonant, and rooted.

You’ll learn to:

Facilitate from presence, not performance.
Lead healing, creative, and transformational spaces anchored in authenticity, integrity, and real connection, not polished perfection.
Craft poetic, embodied journeys.
Design yoga & movement experiences (from more vinyasa flow style to more dancing, intuitive exploration to yin) that are soulful, sensory, and impactful.
Teach as you.
Through experiential learning, group mentorship, and individual support, you’ll develop the start of your unique voice, style, and way of guiding others from the inside out - your Authentic Flow.
Hold supportive, more trauma-sensitive and attuned space.
Learn to read energy, track the room, and respond to what’s actually happening. Build the capacity to create spaces where others feel seen, and held.
Understand foundational anatomy from the inside.
Develop an embodied relationship with anatomy not as abstract parts, but as living systems that breathe, move, and speak through sensation.
Use sound as a co-creator and medicine.
Learn foundational soundscaping skills using voice, rhythm, silence, and music to shape the energetic field, deepen emotional tone, and support somatic integration.

Upcoming training

200h Teacher Training - Online & In-person 2026-2027

Start 14 November 2026

Sink into the world of non-dual Tantra, embodied yoga, somatics, soundscaping and more. First online, then together for 12 days in person, April 2027, at the beautiful Monte da Orada, Portugal.

A foundational 200+ hour Yoga & Somatics Teacher Training

An exclusive 200h+ foundational Teacher Training in Authentic Flow, with more of a mentoring approach than a classic yoga training.

We meet inclusively online for around 90h of immersion weekends from October 2026 (in a difficult timezone? you can follow these through recordings), and finish with a 12-day in-person immersion, 7–18 April 2027, in Portugal, with one free day. Also included: our pre-recorded Embodied Yin 50h, part of the homework toward Yoga Alliance certification.

This is definitely something other than a "normal yoga teacher training." We go deeply into ourselves. You don't need previous experience, and everyone is welcome. It's just as rich for anyone who's done a 200h before but feels the pull toward a more somatic, embodied approach.

Yes, we're a Yoga Alliance registered school, and have been for over 10 years. Lots of recorded classes with Satu are available the moment you join, with more always being added.

You'll receive a 200h certificate after the training. For YA registration, you'll also complete the homework, including the Embodied Yin course.

Your teachers

Satu Tuomela

Satu Tuomela is the founder of the school and its lead teacher trainer.
She has been practicing and teaching for over 30 years and is widely known for her unique, otherworldly, and deeply authentic transmission. Her work is rooted in somatics and embodiment, offering movement as a living, relational, and transformative practice.
Fanny Olsson

Fanny Olsson has practised yoga for 14 years and taught for five, drawn to the transformative processes of awareness. A former medical biologist and self-confessed body nerd, she now teaches the body through felt sense, weaving her love of Kashmir Shaivism and its non-dual worldview into her classes in an accessible, grounded way.
Janni Pop

My way into movement was through physical theatre and performance. I loved playing, and dissolving into different characters and elements. Yoga became a place to practice being rather than performing, and meeting Satu in 2017 felt like a homecoming. I trained as a physiotherapist, and my teaching supports people in reclaiming the body's own wisdom.

Schedule

You can join this training at anytime before the start in November 2026 ! Some material (Embodied Yin) can be done after the in person immersion.

The in-person location:

Monte da Orada, Portugal

This isolated evergreen valley creates an abundant oasis where two creeks come together, as a womb, to nourish an ancient lush forest and wildlife vistas. Orada is a family run, eco-sustainable, permaculture based, soul retreat centre, nestled in 71 ha of nature and privacy, aligned with the aim of expanding health and proposing purposeful transformational moments. With so many spaces to practice and learn and immerse ourselves.
- A Sacred fire and Amphitheatre with stone seats, perfect for a fire pit, ceremonies, classes and full moon gatherings / rituals.
- A Biopool - a fully self-sustainable pool ecosystem which keeps the water oxygenated and chemical-free, perfect for swimming and relaxation.
- The Sauna is ideal to relax during the free times in the retreats with a cold water shower situated next to it.
- The Irrigation canal - It carries water from St. Clara Dam to the SW coast of the country, and guarantees an abundance of water to Orada. It is refreshingly clean and good fun to float on downstream.
- And finally the accommodation which ranges from single / twin / shared / dorms in the beautiful Portuguese tapia house, to 4 share bungalows and and intimate tree house.
The wilderness is beauty, sleeping in nature is adventurous and yet very comfortable, so we invite you to embrace this one of a kind experience.
