The Embodied Archetype Coaching Certification
Course begins Wednesday, May 20, 2026
A 6-Module Journey to Mastery through Breath, Awareness & Archetypal System
This is not a coaching program that teaches you how to fix.
It is an initiation into presence.
The Embodied Archetype Coaching Certification is a 12-month, embodied journey for those called to guide others through deep inner transformation, by listening to what wants to emerge rather than forcing change.
Through breath, awareness, and archetypal intelligence, you will learn to hold sacred, grounded containers where clarity, healing, and truth naturally unfold.
This work begins in the body.
It matures through archetypal insight.
It culminates in embodied leadership.
Become the Space Where Transformation Arises
A Path of Embodiment, Not Technique
Here, coaching is not something you do.
It is something you become.
You will train your nervous system to stay present in the unknown.
You will learn to listen beneath words, to the field, the breath, the energy of what is alive.
You will work with timeless maps such as the Enneagram and Human Design, not as labels, but as mirrors of consciousness and potential.
This is coaching as remembrance.
This training is especially suited for those who value:
Depth over quick fixes
Embodiment over performance
Facilitation over direction
No prior coaching certification is required. What matters most is a willingness to engage in personal practice, self-inquiry, and embodied learning.

Our Philosophy
Embodied Archetype Coaching is built on a simple premise: transformation is not something we force; it is something we facilitate. Rather than “fixing” clients, we train coaches to work with what naturally wants to emerge through presence, breath, and precise archetypal maps.
At the heart of the approach is Embodied Coaching, a methodology rooted in listening, allowing, and non-interference. Coaches learn to hold an ethical, energetically coherent container where insight and change arise from the client’s own inner intelligence, not the coach’s agenda.
We pair this foundational stance with embodied practice. Breathwork is not treated as an add-on, but as a primary pathway for nervous system regulation, somatic attunement, emotional release, and expanded awareness. Coaching is an experience the body can trust and integrate.
FEATURES OF THIS TRAINING
We integrate archetypal systems as compassionate mirrors:
☀The Enneagram as a map of ego patterns, shadow, and potential, used as a diagnostic tool for liberation, not a box.
☀Human Design as a blueprint for energy type, decision-making strategy, and deconditioning helping clients align with their authentic flow.
☀ Community & Mentorship
Join a circle of practitioners who support, challenge, and celebrate your growth.

““I’ve taken many online courses, and most don’t create real connection. This program has built genuine presence and community in an online format.””
—Kundalini Warrior Grad—
HOW ONLINE TRAINING WORKS
Most online schools simply send you a bunch of videos and wish you luck. There is an abundance of evidence to show that this type of learning, particularly for communal practices, just doesn’t work. Here at Yoga Farm Ithaca, we take the opposite approach, and we recognize that in order to learn and grow, first there must be a sense of belonging and connection.
Our trainers are Educators, and have decades of experience in the classroom. At YFI each program has been developed with learning styles, and curriculum flow in mind.
We have tested various teaching methods to ensure that online learning feels like in-person learning.
Our courses are live, interactive, engaging, and connecting. The development and growth of our graduates speaks for itself.

Why We Do Not Follow the ICF Coaching Model
The Emergent Archetype Coaching Certification is rooted in embodied, emergent, and archetypal work, which differs fundamentally from competency-based coaching models such as the ICF.
While the ICF framework is valuable for goal-oriented, cognitive coaching, it prioritizes measurable outcomes, standardized assessments, and verbal methodologies. Our work recognizes that deep transformation often arises beneath language, through the body, breath, nervous system, and subtle awareness.
This program trains coaches to listen to what is unfolding in the moment rather than guiding clients toward predefined objectives. Because of this, our assessment focuses on presence, ethical containment, somatic attunement, and integration of lived practice, rather than performance against fixed competencies.
We honor the ICF’s contribution to the coaching profession, while choosing a path that supports depth, embodiment, and consciousness-based transformation. Our certification reflects mastery of this lineage and methodology, not compliance with an external standard.

Elizabeth bailey
Liz holds a heart-anchored container of safety, allowing insight, integration, and transformation.
She is deeply interested in the bridge; the space where intuition and self-awareness are allowed to close the gaps between physical, spiritual, emotional bodies, and how this and relates to the stories of the mind.
She honors the lived experience, nervous system safety, and the integration of movement, awareness, and meaning. She fills her life with adventure, expanding edges, and the calibration that nature provides. She values the dance between spirit and science, surrender and structure, intuition and precision.
While her life experiences have provided the best course for growth, her formal path has included creating The Digestion Connection- a transformational program combining concepts of lifestyle medicine/increasing health span with Inner Alignment, She has. greater than 20 years of patient care as a PA-C, RYT-200 certification in Kundalini Yoga, and a background in teaching with advanced training in medical education.
She is excited to witness your insight and transformation throughout this shared space and beyond.
Tasha has a story to tell.
She wants to help people reconnect to their power through movement. Period.
She grew up a 'hood kid from the South Side of Chicago, and she knows what it’s like to be overlooked and left out merely because of where she lived and how she looked. She says “I remember the feeling of exclusion; the shame, the pain, the questioning of my worth and the feeling of just wanting to give up. I never want anyone to feel like that ever in life. I can't control the world but, in my world, no one ever will if I can help it.”
Tasha creates spaces where people can not feel not only safe and seen but also a space where they feel like they can be successful without feeling like they have to check off society’s boxes about what it means to be “worthy” or, in the case of this industry, “fit and healthy.” We are living in a time where we are aware of our “separateness” and aware of who has been excluded (consciously or unconsciously) when it comes to resources.
“I believe I am on this earth to help change the narrative.”

Michele France Cooper is a proud Yoga Farm alumnus, having travelled through several offerings. Michele credits her ability to navigate some very difficult paths she faced with the loving space holding and guidance that she received from the outstanding teachers and programs at Yoga Farm as well as personal coaching with Jaya The Trust Coach. This led to the fulfillment of a long-time dream to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2023.

crystal star ellis
Crystal Star Ellis is a coach, guide, and self-described self-discovery nerd who has made it her life's work to help women understand how they are built — and build a life from that truth.
Her mantra is simple: learn, teach, travel. She has lived all three — across two decades of corporate leadership, through a deeply personal journey of healing and sobriety, and into the yoga rooms, retreats, and wild places that finally taught her how to take up space.
A graduate of Yoga Farm Ithaca's Spiritual Warrior 300-Hour Teacher Training, Crystal came to this community through her own unraveling. She had always been good — capable, accomplished, quietly dimming her own light to make others comfortable. Burnout, grief, and recovery cracked that open. What emerged was someone who had finally learned to stop staying small.
She is a Human Design coach (Embodied by Design), Reiki II practitioner, and 500-hour yoga teacher whose work is rooted in kundalini, the enneagram, and the embodied wisdom gathered through years of study — and life. She loves a good personality quiz, a trail that leads somewhere unexpected, and the kind of conversation that makes you feel more yourself by the end of it.
She believes the deepest act of leadership is coming home to yourself. She's still on that journey. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
