You will receive…
Upon completion you will receive a diploma, Yoga Alliance 50 hrs (The Shala & YogaTreat, RYS 300 & YACEP). This course also counts as Continuing Education hrs with Yoga Alliance Professionals (UK).
The support and guidance of two experienced yoga teachers throughout the course.
Small group setting: lots of personal attention and feedback.
Plenty of time to reconnect with your own practice, and to recharge if you’re feeling drained.
Lots of practice in non judgemental non dogmatic environment.
Support in finding your own unique teaching style and your authentic voice as a teacher with expert constructive and supportive feedback.
We (Melanie and Jennie) have worked together for almost 10 years and have 45 years of teaching experience between us from teaching yoga and teacher trainings full time.
We have experienced a lot over the years – and what we keep coming back to is how important it is to be authentic, to find “your voice” as a teacher and to have the courage to be YOURSELF when you are teaching! Working as a yoga teacher is amazing – but it also takes a lot of energy – and can be very draining if you are not looking after yourself. (And it’s so easy to not give ourselves that time/attention/selfcare – so in the training we will also put emphasis on how to create space for your own health and practice: to stay balanced and mentally strong!
Who For?
We recommend that you have done a 200 hour teacher training (any style) but this is not mandatory! If you haven’t: send us an email and let us know and we will look into what other experiences you have and we’ll give you extra support during the course.
The intention is to give you, as a teacher, more tools, to broaden your teaching skills as well as your target groups. Perhaps you have done a training in a dynamic yoga style and would like to add a slow style to your teaching menu as well – to be able to teach back to back classes at studios and retreats?
Please note that if you don’t already have a 200 hour teaching certificate this 4 day course will not qualify you as a teacher and you will get a “certificate of attendance”.
Location
Online on Zoom – from the comfort of your own home!

Hard Copy Manual

Homework
We use the term Homework loosely here, there is a requirement of 18 hours of learning outside of the course, some will be written but mostly to establish a Yin Yoga Practice (students have said that this is their favourite ever homework!) and to read a book (you’ll get several options) and write down your thoughts and questions.
No exams
There won’t be any exams. Rather, we are interested in seeing that you have gained an understanding and knowledge that you can apply to each individual student depending on their needs. This course is intended to spark your interest in embarking on or continuing this fascinating journey.
