200 hour Yoga Teacher Training

Whether you want to become a yoga teacher or deepen your practice of yoga, our holistic 200 hour yoga teacher training will provide you with all you need. The experience will be life-changing.
All of our tutors are highly experienced and influential in their fields, and will be able to give you the attention that you need in a group no bigger than 10 trainees. The Yoga by Nature teacher training approach is holistic and mindful, giving you a thorough grounding in all aspects of yoga, not just the physical practice.
On graduating from the course, you will understand the broader context of yoga and the yogic life as well as the detail of asana instruction, and you will be able to teach from your own integrated experience. This is an opportunity to vastly expand your knowledge and develop the knowhow to successfully launch your yoga teaching career.

OUR STYLE & APPROACH
Our holistic yoga teacher training course is an in-depth study of holistic Hatha yoga and its roots, interwoven with Mindfulness. We give you the detail of asana instruction whilst encompassing all the many other facets of yoga practice. Morven is informed by the most up to date research into yoga's history and development, to give you the most lucid insights possible into the meaning of yoga.
You are encouraged in our programme to develop your own interoception and intuitive alignment, using general instruction as a guideline for mapping out your own interior landscape. This somatic approach ensures that you will teach from your own embodied experience and with authenticity and accuracy.
We know that yoga is a huge subject, and that there is only so much you can fit into a foundational training like this one. It's important to us to offer you a first-hand experience of all that yoga has to offer. We provide detailed insights into the application of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, kriya and meditation. You will also learn appropriate adjustments and delve into an experiential and theoretical exploration of the anatomy and physiology of yoga. A holistic programme embraces the all-encompassing nature of the yogic path; you will study applied yoga philosophy, learn how to life the yogic life and do modules in Ayurveda and Mindfulness. `

"This course was one of the most powerful and empowering experiences of my life. I found the holistic approach enlightening and thought provoking and I felt very supported in exploring some big topics and ideas for myself. While I now feel confident to teach yoga, this course hasn’t just facilitated an ability to teach yoga; it has truly developed a bedrock for my whole life."
