We are very excited to let you know our first 200hr YTT will be launching in 2025.
​
We have created a multi style training that honours yoga roots, looks in depth at yoga philoposhy and combines modern movement science through a compassionate lense in order to for you to become a successful and confident teacher.
​
We will go above and beyond the Yoga Alliance 200h requirements so will be closer to a 250hr training, in order to get in all the good stuff, and so you can become a confident teacher.
​
This training will be in person, at our Hereford studio and limited to no more than 16 people.
​
The training is for those wishing to deepen their practice and understand the beginnings of the vast subject that is Yoga, as well as the first step for those who wish to teach.
