Overview

Learn to share the gift of yoga

This 200-hour programme gives you everything you need: yoga philosophy, functional anatomy, mantras, meditation techniques, pranayama, mudras and bandhas, posture alignment, advanced backbends, inversions and flow, the use of props, a detailed study of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, purification and cleansing, nutrition and health management — together with the methodology of teaching, professional guidelines and classroom ethics.

The training is intensive. Every day you are challenged in a safe environment, developing strength, flexibility, mobility and inner vigour at a rapid pace. Within a few weeks you start to feel transformed, doing things that were once only future goals. Despite its intensity, we advocate gentleness and injury-free practice throughout.

We create an environment that is empowering, invigorating, purifying, healing and calming — time that builds a more positive perspective on life and all that it holds.

What is yoga?

That which brings you to reality

Yoga was developed thousands of years ago in India as a complete system for wellbeing on every level: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. While it is often equated with Hatha Yoga's postures and breathing, that is only one part of the discipline.

Today millions use yoga for fitness, stress relief, vitality, mental clarity, healing, peace of mind and spiritual growth. The word itself means "union" — a move towards experiencing the ultimate nature of existence.

The health benefits of yoga
  • Builds endurance, strength and flexibility
  • Holding postures tests mental and physical stamina
  • Bodyweight work strengthens arms and shoulders
  • Back muscles learn to support the spine better
  • Core work tones the abdominals and obliques
  • Posture gradually corrects itself
  • Hip flexors are stretched and strengthened
  • Glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves get stronger
