If you are passionate about Yoga we pride ourselves on offering a Yoga Teacher Training programme that inspires and nurtures you as you deepen your personal and professional understanding of Yoga. It is a course of exceptional quality and value that is recognised internationally as well as fully recognised by The Independent Yoga Network which holds the highest standards for Yoga Teacher Training in Britain.

Our course has a strong focus on Yoga as a therapy so that the Yoga teacher knows how to use the tools of Yoga to provide a therapeutic experience that eases discomforts and corrects imbalances. At the end of the session all feel intact, complete and empowered. Happiness breeds good health and we believe that a good Yoga Teacher should be able to create these feelings within the Yoga Session.

Not everyone is drawn towards being a Yoga Teacher but for those that are, it is a beautiful vocation whether pursued part-time or full time. Discovering your 'inner light' is a magical and transformational journey.

Our course fully prepares you for professional practice. You will develop skills to become a contemporary health professional able to teach Yoga across a wide variety of settings. eg top sports people.... in hospitals.... with disabled....... in schools......in industry.....your own Yoga studio.
