Davin Jones and Federico Blardone unite two complementary paths of practice for their 50-hour training, Resilience and Regulation: The Art of Yoga Self-Practice. Their work meets at a shared intention: to guide practitioners toward a sustainable, embodied, and deeply honest relationship with themselves.

Federico is an experienced yoga teacher with more than 10 years of sharing workshops around Europe and conducing retreats and YTT internationally. His work is rooted in the understanding that the purpose of practice is to dissolve the feeling of incompleteness and the misconception that perfecting the body or mind can lead to permanent peace. This is done through the practice of landing into the physical and breathing body through a variety of approaches which aim to guide the practitioner towards a grounded understanding of Self awareness.

He also has a rooted understanding in body biomechanics which is used to create a mindful approach to meditative flows.
He attained a diploma in sport science and one in remedial therapy to better understand the body biomechanics and to create a safe environment for the students through competence and care.

Drawing from the heart of yogic philosophy, Federico teaches that our nature is Śāntam – peace
– and that true freedom is not gained by obtaining something new, but by recognising that nothing is missing. Yoga becomes a process of removing the misunderstanding that peace exists somewhere outside ourselves.

His approach, Natural Movement Yoga, invites students to experience movement as a dialogue between body and awareness:

• The body speaks through sensation, while there mind expresses through words
• The mind either creates thoughts or listens to the sensory field
• When the body is still the mind wonders, when body moves the mind is silent
• Awareness remains the quiet observer

His teaching is meditative, spacious, and grounded in presence. Federico guides practitioners to rediscover movement as a natural, effortless expression of being – encouraging clarity, humility, and deep listening rather than striving or performance.

Davin Jones (500 E-RYT) is a senior yoga teacher and teacher-trainer with over 12 years and 10,000+ hours of experience teaching across more than 15 countries. He specialises in integrating movement science, kinesiology, fascia-informed biomechanics, breath mechanics, and nervous-system regulation into embodied yoga practice.

His work supports teachers and practitioners in moving pain-free, cultivating intelligent strength, and developing a deeper understanding of their own bodies. Davin’s expertise includes:

• nervous system literacy and resilience
• functional mobility and joint preparation
• handstand and arm-balance development
• injury-informed practice and movement longevity
• breathwork grounded in pressure and mechanical efficiency

Drawing from Buddhist philosophy and his A.W.A.R.E. Mentorship method, Davin teaches in a way that is structured yet intuitive, blending scientific clarity with emotional and introspective depth. Students are guided to understand not only how their bodies move, but why – enabling sustainable, intelligent, and self-directed practice.

Together, Federico and Davin offer a unique blend of philosophical depth, somatic awareness, and functional movement education. Federico’s teachings reconnect practitioners with their inherent wholeness and the meditative essence of yoga, while Davin provides the anatomical, nervous-system, and biomechanical frameworks that support resilience and confident self-practice.

Participants in their training will explore how to:

• recognise peace as their natural state rather than a future achievement
• regulate and expand nervous-system capacity through breath and embodiment
• experience movement as a natural, unforced expression rather than a performance
• build strength, stability, and mobility through intelligent load and somatic listening
• design and sustain a personal practice that adapts to life’s rhythms
• approach inversions and arm balances as opportunities for inner steadiness, not perfectionism

In their collaboration, the practice becomes both an art of remembering who we are and a science of supporting the body through resilience and regulation. The result is a deeply integrated approach to self-practice that is accessible, honest, embodied, and transformative for teachers and dedicated practitioners alike.
