The People Behind The Program
Dr. Jivasu, MD - Head Facilitator
Soma’s Somatic Yoga Teacher Training is guided by a team of highly experienced instructors led by Dr. Jivasu, the program’s founder and lead teacher. A physician, medical educator, and explorer of somatic consciousness, Dr. Jivasu developed the SOMA system, blending biology, neuroscience, and ancient yogic science. With over 40 years of experience, he brings deep wisdom, warmth, and clarity to the program.
Alongside Dr. Jivasu, the training is co-facilitated by Matthew Nash - a yoga and hatha yoga teacher with over 10 years of practice and 6 years as a devoted student of Dr. Jivasu. As lead teacher trainer and program designer, Matt brings both deep personal experience and a grounded understanding of the Soma method to every session.
"The Soma Yoga Teacher Training was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Unlike other programs I’ve taken, it offered a grounded, science-informed path to yoga and meditation that still honored deep inner transformation. The teaching team was exceptional — wise, supportive, and genuinely caring. If you’re looking to reconnect with yourself and gain practical tools for life and teaching, this training is truly special."
Yasi G.
"This training has truly been life-changing. I’ve taken other yoga programs before, but this one filled the gaps in my understanding that I didn’t even know I had. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with others on my path — it was a deeply unique and meaningful experience."
Vittoria D.
The Soma Yoga Teacher Training was incredibly thoughtful and well-organized — from the supportive booklets and online hub to the recordings that helped me stay on track. Over time, subtle shifts added up to real change. I now notice my body’s signals, respond with care, and feel confident guiding others. Soma has given me tools, presence, and a deeper connection to myself I didn’t know was possible. I’m so grateful for this journey.
