‘‘truth is one, paths are many’’
Our ethos is all about bridging the gap between contemporary neuroscience & the ancient wisdom yoga teachings.
We are serious about anatomy, philosophy and intelligent class sequencing, and our heart centred approach will take students on a journey of learning that will help them to find their own unique teaching path.
Join us for a nine month deep dive into the heart of teaching Yoga
Course Modules
Anatomy & Intelligent Sequencing
We explore the anatomy most crucial to yoga. We make it comprehensive, engaging and fun so that you’ll love anatomy as much as we do! We then take this knowledge and apply it to learning how to create intelligent, accessible and effective yoga sequences that incorporate all of the elements of the yoga system.
Posture Labs
‘‘It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.’’ - BKS Iyengar
Using the wisdom of the most up to date anatomy research as well as the ancient wisdom of yoga, we will study the key yoga postures and how to adapt them to vast and diverse unique bodies and needs so that you can teach with confidence, compassion and understanding of the human form.
History & Philosophies
‘‘Yoga is a journey of the self, through the self, to the self’’
We will journey through a comparative study of the main yogic scriptures and teach you how to weave philosophy into your life and your yoga classes
Subtle Body
‘‘We do not see things as they are, we see things as WE are’’ - Anais Ninn
We will journey through a practical exploration of the Chakras, Nadis & Koshas and learn about accessing the sublter layers of the body using pranayama & meditation techniques.
Hands On Assists & Verbal Cues
"Yoga must not be practised to control the body, it must bring freedom to the body,all the freedom it needs." Vanda Scaravelli
Learn about the different ways in which we can support our students through voice and touch.
Yoga of Business
‘‘yoga is free, the bills are not!’’- Nischilla Devi
We will explore the various facets of making a healthy and soul fulfilling career from teaching Yoga. There will be plenty of room for open discussion, and we will explore the ethics of business in relation to the yoga principles of the eight limbs.
