Hi I'm Aneta Idczak,

My yoga journey started over 28 years ago with my first yoga class at Bodywise in Bethnal Green, London. And since then I’ve been practicing yoga, mindfulness, compassion practices, and for the last few years Focusing (Embodied Listening), which has been a real transformational journey. 

I am registered Senior Yoga Teacher and Trainer with Yoga Alliance Professionals UK, and Founder of Golden Mandala Yoga-Soma Institute providing unique yoga teacher trainings including: 80-Hr Trauma-informed Yoga & Embodied Resilience (TREY) Teacher Training, 160-Hr Trauma-informed Somatic Teacher and Coach for Women, and Yoga Business Mandala 1-year Group Mentoring and Coaching Programme. 

 For the past 25 years I trained in various modalities including Mindfulness yoga and meditation, Mindfulness and Yoga for Pain, Slow Embodied yoga, Yin/Insight yoga, Yoga Therapy for Anxiety and Burnout, Mindfulness, Psychology and Counselling, Master NLP and NLP for Health and Wellbeing, Life and Wellness Coaching, Embodiement Coaching, Trauma-informed Somatic Coaching. Positive Psychology Coaching, breathwork, Energy Healing and Reiki Master, Somatics, bodywork and Thai Yoga Massage.

I bring all of my training and experience into my work with clients and other yoga teachers, which creates a unique mix of bio-psycho-social approach that is client-led and compassionate.

My approach is further informed by my 16 years of front line work in Social Care with trauma, crisis intervention, mental health, addiction, DV, and child protection issues in various settings in London and Kent, where I later set up Troubled Families project and trained and supervised workers to engage and support vulnerable individuals and families.
