Nicki Forman Bio
With a background as both a lawyer and an academic, Nicki’s discovery of yoga was epiphanic. She moved from South Africa where she was born and raised, to Antwerp, Belgium at a moment where the local practice of yoga was in its infancy. Her life’s path shifted profoundly as she began to explore yoga through intense practice and theoretical study.
Nicki was fortunate to learn and practice under various teachers and masters over the course of 2 decades. She is a registered yoga teacher (E-RYT) of the Yoga Alliance, certified in diverse yogic lineages including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and is a certified Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Teacher through Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) as well as a prenatal yoga teacher trained in the Khalsa Way and other prenatal practices. She has also been trained in teaching yoga to children.
Nicki Forman founded Aruna Yoga, a syncretic yoga practice, drawing on multiple yogic lineages with a focus on releasing stress, tension, trauma and emotional blocks. Aruna Yoga is a practice of self enquiry and integrates syncretic modalities beyond yoga, using TRE, art and creativity to bring the practitioner to a state of optimal well-being.
Nicki Forman developed the Yoga Alliance (200 and 500 hours) registered Aruna Yoga Teacher Training, with over 100 graduates registered according to the YA standards and offering accredited Yoga Alliance continuing education (YACEP®). She is the author of The Aruna Yoga Teacher Training Manual, The Aruna Yoga Manual on Āsana or Yoga Poses and The Fluidity of Form (due 2025). She created the extensive online academic yoga training platform, www.arunayoga.online.
She is a certified Trauma Release Provider as developed by Dr David Berceli as well as a certified Journey Practitioner of The Journey Method, as developed by Brandon Bays.
In addition to the Teacher Training program, Nicki offers Trainings for TRE for personal use, Aruna Yoga mentorship programs, Trainings for Yoga and TRE for Multiple Sclerosis, and works to integrate Aruna Yoga as a conjunctive treatment for cancer and autoimmune disease.
Nicki has developed, teaches and mentors an ongoing program for Ezer Mitzion focusing on optimising healing for women with MS. She also leads Aruna Yoga and TRE workshops for soldiers.
Nicki has also led an Aruna Yoga and TRE® for Personal Use Training for the Nobel Women’s Initiative: Sister to Sister Mentorship Program: December 2021
Nicki is a core faculty member of the One to One Future Leaders Program which offers leadership programs for world changers from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds, from its inception in 2021 until today. Nicki teaches as part of the core curriculum in the seasonal cohorts as well as offering monthly yoga sessions for the alumni.
Nicki’s academic qualifications include a BA (University of Witwatersand); LL B (University of Witwatersand), MA (University of Antwerp); and admission as a lawyer to the South African Board of Attorneys. She worked briefly as a lawyer on the development of the South African Constitution in post-Apartheid South Africa and in a Women’s Rights NGO in Brussels in 1998. She was an academic at the University of Antwerp from 1999-2001.
Nicki is also an artist who uses art and the creation of yantra (yogic symbol) and sacred geometry as a practice of meditation. She includes art as part of the Aruna process as an additional tool in the practice of self enquiry.
Nicki is also a mother of 3 and lives in Israel where she runs Beit Aruna and she teaches Aruna Yoga offering weekly classes, trainings, local and international retreats and workshops with a focus on disseminating the practice both for personal use and as a teacher training to leaders in various areas, including conflict areas, health and education.

Description
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises Course
TRE® as developed by Dr David Berceli is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE®’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. TRE® has helped many thousands of people globally.
TRE® is designed to be a self-help tool that, once learned, can be used independently as needed throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellness. (This info is taken from https://traumaprevention.com/ where you can see more about TRE).

Safety and Self-Regulation in the context of the Polyvagal Theory.
- Introduction to the the Polyvagal Theory
- what is Neuroception?
- Safety - how we establish it
- Co-Regulation / Self-Regulation (Groundedness & Boundaries)
Anya Bloom was introduced to TRE® in 2011 by Dr. Melanie Salmon from South Africa and was immediately captivated by the method. She recognized its huge potential to benefit the large number of people in our society who have to deal with anxiety, stress and trauma on an ongoing basis and so, soon after, began her training and became a TRE® Certified Provider (2013) and a TRE® Global Certification Trainer (2015).
Anya has taught TRE® to hundreds of Individuals and Groups and as a Trainer has worked with and trained and supervised Trainees in Israel, South Africa, England & Nepal. Presently Anya teaches and trains TRE® Providers from all over the world online with Su Thomas, a South African TRE® Global Certification Trainer.
Anya recognises the relevancy of TRE® to the the treatment of the continuum of stress and trauma from previous exposure to the methods that recognise “tremor or shaking” as a often missing link in the completion of the instinctive Fight and Flight cycle used by humans to survive stresses and trauma. She sees TRE® as being a self-help tool for individuals that when taught with proper guidance from a Certified Provider can provide emotional and physical healing of anxiety and stress related disorders. This is because TRE® works at the deepest levels of the body where stress and trauma originate.
Anya is a Licensed Physiotherapist with 30 years of experience working with adult populations in the field of rehabilitation, and over the years, has worked as a physiotherapist in Ireland, England the United States, Belgium and Israel. Prior to opening in partnership her private clinic, Mifne Physiotherapy Clinic, based in Netanya, Anya was the physiotherapist-in-charge of the Intensive Care Unit for Head Injuries in Beit Lowenstein in Ra’anana, Israel. Today, the Mifne Physiotherapy Clinic treats adults with a wide range of orthopaedic and neurological problems and is recognised by the Israel Ministry of Defence.

Anya Bloom was introduced to TRE® in 2011 by Dr. Melanie Salmon from South Africa and was immediately captivated by the method. She recognized its huge potential to benefit the large number of people in our society who have to deal with anxiety, stress and trauma on an ongoing basis and so, soon after, began her training and became a TRE® Certified Provider (2013) and a TRE® Global Certification Trainer (2015).
Anya has taught TRE® to hundreds of Individuals and Groups and as a Trainer has worked with and trained and supervised Trainees in Israel, South Africa, England & Nepal. Presently Anya teaches and trains TRE® Providers from all over the world online with Su Thomas, a South African TRE® Global Certification Trainer.
Anya recognises the relevancy of TRE® to the the treatment of the continuum of stress and trauma from previous exposure to the methods that recognise “tremor or shaking” as a often missing link in the completion of the instinctive Fight and Flight cycle used by humans to survive stresses and trauma. She sees TRE® as being a self-help tool for individuals that when taught with proper guidance from a Certified Provider can provide emotional and physical healing of anxiety and stress related disorders. This is because TRE® works at the deepest levels of the body where stress and trauma originate.
Anya is a Licensed Physiotherapist with 30 years of experience working with adult populations in the field of rehabilitation, and over the years, has worked as a physiotherapist in Ireland, England the United States, Belgium and Israel. Prior to opening in partnership her private clinic, Mifne Physiotherapy Clinic, based in Netanya, Anya was the physiotherapist-in-charge of the Intensive Care Unit for Head Injuries in Beit Lowenstein in Ra’anana, Israel. Today, the Mifne Physiotherapy Clinic treats adults with a wide range of orthopaedic and neurological problems and is recognised by the Israel Ministry of Defence.

Nicki Forman Bio
With a background as both a lawyer and an academic, Nicki’s discovery of yoga was epiphanic. She moved from South Africa where she was born and raised, to Antwerp, Belgium at a moment where the local practice of yoga was in its infancy. Her life’s path shifted profoundly as she began to explore yoga through intense practice and theoretical study.
Nicki was fortunate to learn and practice under various teachers and masters over the course of 2 decades. She is a registered yoga teacher (E-RYT) of the Yoga Alliance, certified in diverse yogic lineages including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and is a certified Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Teacher through Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) as well as a prenatal yoga teacher trained in the Khalsa Way and other prenatal practices. She has also been trained in teaching yoga to children.
Nicki Forman founded Aruna Yoga, a syncretic yoga practice, drawing on multiple yogic lineages with a focus on releasing stress, tension, trauma and emotional blocks. Aruna Yoga is a practice of self enquiry and integrates syncretic modalities beyond yoga, using TRE, art and creativity to bring the practitioner to a state of optimal well-being.
Nicki Forman developed the Yoga Alliance (200 and 500 hours) registered Aruna Yoga Teacher Training, with over 100 graduates registered according to the YA standards and offering accredited Yoga Alliance continuing education (YACEP®).
