Transform Your Practice. Deepen Your Knowledge. Share the Mat.
200hr Yoga Teacher Training • 40hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training • Yoga Retreats • Yoga Foundations
Welcome to The Shared Mat
Founded by Natalie Brooke and Sarah Alice, The Shared Mat was created from a shared passion for yoga, teaching and community. As teachers, we always seemed to end up sharing a mat whenever we taught together, and the name became a natural reflection of what we offer today connection, learning and growth through yoga.
Based at The Holistic Haven in Hellingly, East Sussex, we offer Yoga Teacher Training, Yin Yoga Teacher Training, Yoga Foundations Courses and Yoga Retreats designed to support and inspire every stage of your yoga journey.
Whether you're taking your first steps into yoga, deepening your personal practice, or training to become a yoga teacher, we're here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Meet Sarah & Natalie
The Shared Mat brings together two experienced yoga educators with complementary expertise, creating a unique learning experience that balances ancient wisdom with modern understanding.
Sarah Alice brings over ten years of teaching experience and more than 6,000 teaching hours. With a passion for anatomy, alignment and teaching methodology, Sarah helps students understand how the body moves while developing the confidence and skills needed to become knowledgeable and authentic yoga teachers.

Learn. Grow. Connect.
At The Shared Mat, we believe yoga is about more than what happens on the mat. It's about building confidence, creating connection and discovering your own unique path.
We look forward to sharing the mat with you.
