Parimukti Somatic Facilitator Training:

You’ve done the work, so why do you still feel stuck?

Discover the path to lasting nervous system regulation.

You’ve read the books.

You’ve been to therapy.

You have worked on yourself,

You’ve journaled, reflected, cried, forgiven, and worked so hard on yourself.

But if you’re honest…

You don’t feel the way you thought you would by now.

The anxiety still shows up.

You still overthink.

You still put everyone else’s needs before your own.

You still find yourself caught in the same patterns, wondering why nothing seems to create lasting change.

It’s not because you haven’t done enough.

It’s because real healing through our Somatic Facilitator Training isn’t just something you understand.

It’s something your body has to experience.

Join us for a 14-day Somatic Facilitator Training in Sri Lanka and discover what changes when your body finally catches up with everything your mind already knows.

Parimukti | Sri Lanka Somatic Immersion | Winter 2026/27

Maybe you’re tired of trying to figure yourself out.

You know yourself better than you ever have.

You’ve done the work. You’ve faced the hard conversations. You’ve learned why you are the way you are.

And yet… You still don’t feel the freedom you thought would come by now.

That’s why we created our professional Somatic Facilitator Training.

Fourteen days in the warmth of Sri Lanka, away from the noise of everyday life and old patterns, where you can breathe deeply, reconnect with yourself, and master the art of somatic facilitation to help others exhale and heal.

What happens during these 14 days of Somatic Facilitator Training?

Think of this as two weeks away from the life that’s been asking so much of you.

Each day, we’ll gently guide you through breathwork, movement, sound, and professional somatic practices. You’ll spend time in nature, connect with like-minded women, and slowly begin to feel lighter.

And as you experience this Somatic Facilitator Training for yourself, you’ll also learn how to safely guide others through it.

Why hasn’t everything you’ve already tried created lasting change?

It’s a question we hear all the time. Most approaches help you understand your thoughts. In our Somatic Facilitator Training, we help you listen to the body.

Every emotion you’ve carried—fear, guilt, shame, grief or anger—has been trying to protect you. Until those emotions are gently felt and released through somatic practices, they can keep pulling you back into the same patterns.

We work with one emotion at a time. Not to analyse it. But to understand what it’s been trying to tell you—and through breath, movement, and somatic facilitation, gently help the body let it go.

Is this for you?

This Somatic Facilitator Training is for you if you’ve been doing the inner work for years but know there’s still another layer waiting to be explored. It’s for you if people naturally come to you for support and you’ve been wondering if you’re meant to do work that truly makes a difference.

You don’t need to be a therapist. You just need to be willing to show up with an open heart. We’ll guide you through the rest.

 

You may feel at home here if…

  • You’ve spent years working on yourself but still feel there’s another layer waiting to unfold.
  • You naturally support friends, family, or clients and want practical skills to do it with greater confidence.
  • You want to understand how emotions, stress, and trauma are experienced through the body.
  • You want tools you can use in everyday life, not just ideas you’ll forget after a weekend workshop.
  • You’re considering offering somatic work professionally.
  • You’re looking for a meaningful career that genuinely helps people.
  • You simply want to reconnect with yourself in a quieter, healthier way.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about learning to relate to yourself differently.

Why we created this training

For more than twelve years we’ve worked with people from around the world through yoga teacher trainings, retreats, workshops, and private sessions. Different backgrounds. Different countries. Different stories. Yet the same question kept appearing.
“Why do I understand myself so well, but still feel stuck?”
People weren’t lacking information. They’d read the books. They’d explored their childhood. They’d learned about attachment styles, boundaries, nervous systems, and emotional intelligence. What they wanted wasn’t another framework. They wanted to feel different. That experience shaped this training. We combined the practices we’ve found most effective into a structured two-week immersion where personal transformation and facilitator training happen together. You experience the work first. Then you learn how to guide it. Because the best facilitators don’t just understand the process. They’ve lived it.

A personal note from us

When we first started teaching, we believed knowledge would naturally lead to change. Over time we realised something important. People rarely struggle because they don’t know enough. They struggle because their bodies continue reacting to old experiences long after those experiences have ended. That’s why our teaching gradually became more practical. Less about collecting information. More about learning through direct experience. During these fourteen days you’ll spend far less time listening to lectures than you might expect. Instead, you’ll spend your time noticing. Breathing. Moving. Practising. Reflecting. Receiving feedback. Facilitating. Making mistakes. Learning. Growing. Our role isn’t to fix you. Our role is to create an environment where genuine learning and lasting change can happen. We’ll meet you exactly where you are. Nothing more is expected.

Ongoing support

Your learning doesn’t end when you leave Sri Lanka. You’ll continue to have access to our graduate community, your teachers, and ongoing guidance as you begin applying what you’ve learned.
The most valuable thing you’ll take home isn’t your certificate. It’s a different relationship with yourself.

Imagine returning home feeling different.

Not because life suddenly became easier. Because you learned how to meet it differently. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by difficult emotions, you’ll know how to recognise them before they take over. Instead of trying to suppress stress, you’ll have practical ways to regulate your nervous system. Instead of repeating familiar patterns, you’ll understand how to interrupt them. You’ll know how to create safety within yourself rather than constantly searching for it outside yourself. You’ll communicate with greater clarity. You’ll recognise your boundaries sooner. You’ll recover from difficult moments more quickly. If you decide to work professionally, you’ll also leave with practical facilitation skills you can confidently begin using with individuals and groups. Life will still be unpredictable. You won’t be.

What our students discovered

Every person arrives with a different story. The outcomes are always personal. Some themes appear again and again.

“I finally trusted myself.”

One participant arrived feeling exhausted by constantly questioning every decision she made. As she learned to recognise what safety actually felt like in her body, decision-making became quieter. She stopped searching for constant reassurance and began trusting her own judgement.

“I stopped repeating the same relationship patterns.”

Another participant realised she had spent years taking responsibility for everyone else’s emotions. Working with boundaries through the body changed the way she related to herself and to others. She returned home with healthier relationships and far more confidence saying no when something didn’t feel right.

“I finally knew what I wanted.”

One participant joined knowing something needed to change but having no idea what that change looked like. Two weeks later she wasn’t a different person. She simply trusted herself enough to take the next step. That clarity became the beginning of an entirely different career.
Your experience won’t look exactly like anyone else’s. It shouldn’t. The goal isn’t to become someone else. It’s to become more fully yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous experience?

No. This training is designed for complete beginners as well as yoga teachers, coaches, therapists, and other wellness professionals. Everything is taught step by step.

Is this only for people who want to become facilitators?

No. Many participants join purely for personal growth. Others arrive intending to build a career. Some decide during the training that facilitation is the right path for them.

What if I find it difficult to open up?

That’s completely normal. You’ll never be pressured to share personal experiences. Every practice is an invitation. You always choose your own pace.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. After successfully completing the practical assessment you’ll receive your Parimukti Somatic Facilitator Certificate.

What happens after the training?

You’ll become part of our graduate community and continue receiving guidance as you begin applying your learning in everyday life or professional practice.

Is Sri Lanka safe?

Yes. Sri Lanka is known for its welcoming people, beautiful coastline, and relaxed pace of life. Before your arrival we’ll provide everything you need to prepare for your journey.

Our daily rhythm

A safe place to learn

Working with emotions can feel vulnerable. That’s why safety is built into every part of this training.
  • You’ll never be forced to share personal experiences.
  • You’ll never be pressured to participate beyond your comfort level.
  • Every exercise is guided.
  • Support is available throughout the training.
  • Your pace is respected.
Real learning doesn’t happen because someone pushes you. It happens because you finally have enough safety to explore what you’ve been avoiding.

Choose the dates that work for you

We run our Somatic Facilitator Training during the European winter, when many of our students are looking for warmth, space, and a complete change of environment.
All trainings take place on the south coast of Sri Lanka, close to Weligama and Ahangama, where you’ll spend two weeks learning, practising, resting, and reconnecting.
  • 8–22 November 2026
  • 1–15 December 2026
  • 10–24 January 2027
  • 7–21 February 2027

Is this the right fit?

You don’t need previous teaching experience. You don’t need a psychology degree. You don’t need to be a yoga teacher. You simply need to be able to participate comfortably in English and be willing to engage fully in the practices throughout the two weeks.

Health and safety

Because this training includes breathwork, movement, and emotionally engaging practices, it may not be suitable for everyone. This programme is not appropriate during pregnancy or for people with certain serious cardiovascular, respiratory, or acute mental health conditions. If you’re unsure whether this training is suitable for your circumstances, we’ll discuss it with you before confirming your place.

Perhaps this is the next step you’ve been looking for.

You don’t need your entire life figured out before you arrive. You don’t need to feel fearless. You don’t need to become someone else. You simply need to be willing to spend two weeks investing in yourself. We’ll provide the structure. We’ll provide the guidance. You’ll do the part that no one else can do for you. Showing up. If that leads you to Sri Lanka, we’d be honoured to welcome you.

Apply for the Somatic Facilitator Training

To keep the experience personal, each training is limited to a small group. Rather than instant online booking, we ask everyone to complete a short application so we can make sure the programme is the right fit for you.
