It's time to integrate...
This October, embark on an 8-month journey of learning, embodiment and transformation. It's time to let go of the things that are no longer serving you and to step into the most alive, aligned and authentic version of yourself.
WELCOME to integrate
A message from Sam
Firstly and most importantly, I'm so happy you're here. It feels like such a privilege to share this programme and the learning and transformation it contains. If you have found your way to this page, I feel sure that there is something important here for you and I would be delighted to be your guide for this next stage of your journey.
But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Sam Alexander-Vasey and I'm a yoga therapist, yoga and qigong teacher and immersive retreat leader based in Yorkshire. I am fascinated by the experiences of being a human being in the world at this time and to understanding how we can create our most alive, aligned and authentic lives.
I have trained extensively in both Eastern and Western approaches to health, healing and personal growth. I am an experienced registered yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance (E-RYT), certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT), Reiki Master, Qigong Instructor, Nondual Therapist and am currently training as an Integrative Yoga Psychotherapist.
All these modalities reflect my deep interest in the holistic nature of the human experience, moving out of silos and into a truly whole-person perspective. This includes the interconnection between mind and body, and also the way that subtler layers of our being interact - energy, intuition, spirituality. It has been my experience that all of these layers impact our moment to moment experience of life, whether we are aware of them or not. But when we are aware of them and work skilfully with them, our life can change in profound ways.
The Integrate Programme is the culmination of 7 years of study, 13 years of personal practice and 4 decades of exploring the experience of being human. It is the programme that I wish had existed when I first came to this work 13 years ago during a particularly challenging time in my life. It brings together everything I have learned from my studies and my personal journey of healing and transformation - a journey that started with creating safety and has taken me to a stable and embodied realisation of my true Self. It would be my honour to guide you on your journey to do the same.
about the programme
Introducing Integrate
Integrate is an 8-month journey of learning, embodiment and transformation based upon a model called the 7 processes of transformation. Integrate offers a sacred container for exploring each process - learning the theory, facilitating the change and embodying the transformation.
Beginning in October 2026, we will focus on one transformational process each month, providing time for the process to be explored, embodied and integrated, before moving on to the next. In the final month, we will focus on the integration of the 7 processes and the alchemy that comes as they weave together in our daily lives.
The programme has been thoughtfully designed to support different learning styles and preferences. In each format, the course includes lifetime access to lectures, workbooks, and guided practices on the 7 processes and their integration. You can also choose options with monthly online workshops for community-based learning and 1:1 integration sessions for tailored support.
The programme begins in October 2026. There will be a live integration workshop each month, taking place on a Sunday 4:30pm-6:30pm UK time. Each workshop will be recorded and recordings will be made available within 24 hours. Dates to attend the workshops live are:
Sunday 18th October 2026
Sunday 22nd November 2026
Sunday 13th December 2026
Sunday 24th January 2027
Sunday 21st February 2027
Sunday 21st March 2027

7 Processes of Transformation
The 7 processes of transformation is a practical framework for understanding and facilitating psychological development, holistic healing, and spiritual growth.
It draws on the wisdom and insights of yoga philosophy, neuroscience, and psychotherapy, utilising the model of the chakras to identify 7 shifts that can lead to profound changes in our lived experience.
Weaving together learning from science and spirituality, embodiment and psychology, it takes complex cross-disciplinary ideas and make them accessible and practical to bring into our daily lives.
Overview of the 8 modules
Module 1 -
Creating Safety
Safety is the foundation upon which positive change can be built. When we don't feel safe, we tense and brace - psychologically and physically. In this protective stance, we are stuck in survival, often overtaken by a sense of threat, anxiety or worry.
In this module we look at the role of safety to enable transformation. We explore ways to feel safe in our bodies, minds, relationships and environments. We will examine the things that can get in the way of creating safety and practical approaches to feel safer in our lives.
Module 2 -
Expanding Awareness
From a foundation of safety, we are able to expand our awareness to take in much more of the world around us. To anchor in presence and awaken to our raw experience of life unfolding. In a space of mindful awareness we come out of autopilot and arrive in the present moment.
In this module we will examine the central role of mindfulness and acceptance in transformation on all levels of our being. We will explore the power of noticing, the utility of curiosity and the way awareness of our patterns is the first step that enables change.
Module 3 -
Cultivating Agency
As we expand awareness, we bring what may have been hidden into the light of awareness and this makes it possible for us to change old patterns and make different choices.
Drawing on insights from behaviour change science, this module supports us to stop being beholden to patterns that don't serve us and to step into more aligned ways of being. We will explore the concept of compassionate accountability and the utility of replacing the voice of the inner critic with that of a supportive inner coach.
Module 4 -
Regulating Emotions
Emotional regulation is the capacity to identify, understand, feel and express emotions in a healthy way, neither suppressing them nor becoming overwhelmed by them. It is one of the most foundational skills for a life of flourishing, but one that most of us are never taught.
In this module we will learn the skills of emotional regulation, whilst also bringing understanding to the ways we may have dealt with emotions in the past. We will explore safe ways of working with emotions that may have been suppressed so they can be released and do not need to be carried into our futures.
Module 5 -
Expressing Authentically
Authentic expression is essential for meaningful relationships, whether these are with friends, family, colleagues or a life partner. We must first know our own authentic truth and then be able to clearly and compassionately communicate this to others.
In this module we will work with both aspects of authentic expression - knowing our own truth and expressing it. We will explore the things that can block this and how to overcome them and learn approaches and techniques that feel aligned to our values.
Module 6 -
Witnessing Clearly
Clear witnessing relates to our ability to shift our attention to the dimension of ourselves that sees life with greater clarity, perspective and wisdom. We are not cultivating these qualities, but orienting to the part of ourselves where these qualities are already present.
In this module, we will explore how to bring more discernment, wisdom and intuition into our daily lives and to make decisions that feel more aligned with our own truth. We will identify the things that pull us out of our intuition and the practices that can lead us back to it.
Module 7 -
Realising Self
Self realisation is the embodied and life-changing recognition that there is much more to us than the limited mind-made self that we usually take ourselves to be. In this process, our true Self is revealed and we have the opportunity to go beyond previous limitations.
In this module we will explore the role of self realisation in our personal journey of healing and transformation. We will recognise how our true Self can offer a level of compassion, strength and capacity that is beyond what our mind can imagine and how this can be an invaluable pillar in every aspect of our lives.
Module 8 -
Integration
We explore each of the 7 processes sequentially, but the reality is that all processes will continue to unfold throughout the course and long after. They also intersect and interconnect, with each process acting as a support to all the others.
In this final module, we will take the time to explore this interaction and to integrate the 7 processes in our bodies, minds, energies and lives. We will also devote time to our onward journey - ensuring that the learning from the course continues to infuse our lives long after our time together ends, creating a lasting legacy of positive change.
