Our approach to yoga emphasizes cultivating ease and enjoyment in the body. We firmly believe in avoiding practices that push students to their physical limits. While the training may present moderate physical challenges, most students find it manageable and rewarding.

What preparations are necessary for attending?

Prior to enrolling in our teacher training course, we ask that you have a minimum of 6 months of consistent yoga practice. This ensures that trainees have a fundamental understanding of the primary yoga postures before delving into the teaching aspect.

Am I qualified to join the yoga teacher training course if I’m not flexible or strong?

Our 200-hour course serves as a foundation in yoga study. We do not expect perfection in every yoga pose. The key requirement is a passion for yoga and a commitment to the course, which will aid in the development of your practice.

Do I need to be fluent in English?

We welcome students from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, and English does not need to be your first language. However, students should have a fairly fluent command of English, encompassing reading, writing, and speaking, as the entire curriculum is delivered in English.

You must be at least 16 years old to enroll in the training, with no maximum age limit.
