Tanya Forgan

Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher, Diversity and Unity Mentor, Circle Facilitator.

Hello ~ I'm Tanya. I am a passionate Yoga (Nidrā) and Mindfulness Teacher, Circle Facilitator, and Social Justice Advocate.

My mission is to craft and hold spaces where we embark on journeys of courageous conversation, exploration and awakening that drive inclusivity and diversity. 

As a neurodivergent woman of mixed heritage (black and white), I have a dedication to creating positive change, and work towards creating inclusive spaces where marginalised voices are heard, particularly those of people of colour. This commitment to dismantling oppressive structures and promoting social justice is rooted in my own lived experiences and my observations of a world dominated by certain cultural norms.

I wholeheartedly believe that genuine and lasting transformation requires both steadfastness and consistency. Steadfastness invokes mindfulness, while consistency hinges on unwavering commitment. To honour these principles, I place the "Sacred Pause" at the heart of my teachings. Here, there is no rush; instead, we cultivate a nurturing environment that facilitates sustainable and authentic change—an urgent need in our world today.

I am thrilled to be part of this training and bring such important topics to the table. I look forward to you gathering with you so we can share this part of the journey with love, care and compassion for all.

What does circle mean to you? 

For me, circles symbolise growth through shared experiences and mutual understanding. It’s a space that offers healing, self-reflection, courageous conversations and a place to breathe in the embrace of a supportive community.

How have you felt inspired/empowered by women’s circles? 

Circles have empowered me by offering a profound sense of belonging, particularly when I hear the voices of women from diverse backgrounds.

What does supporting this training mean to you?

Supporting the anti-racism work for Sacred Sister Circle Training means actively creating an inclusive space for all to thrive, acknowledging historical disparities and working collectively towards equity and justice.
