Yoga Style
Our training is drawn from the varied teachings that have been shared with us through our diverse range of teachers and styles. See teacher bios.
This training primarily focuses on Hatha Yoga, with informed influences from:
- Functional anatomy
- Somatic movement
- Yoga therapy principles
- Restorative yoga
- Classical yoga philosophy
The approach is inclusive, non-dogmatic, and grounded in safe, accessible movement and breath awareness, rooted in traditional philosophy while relevant to modern practice.
This course will give you a good grounding in the basics of what a yoga teacher will need for their journey into teaching, and deeper self reflection.
Please see below or the prospectus for more details on course topics.
We encourage regular self practice to deepen your own understanding of Yoga
