Do you ever long to delve deeper into your yoga journey but don’t know where to start? You've been to a few classes but crave more insight to other parts of yoga that there never seems to be time for in class? Roots of yoga is the perfect platform to begin your yogic adventure and inspire you to dive deeper, beyond the mat.
You may be feeling hungry to start your teacher training but not convinced you know enough, not sure about the big commitment? Unsure of which teacher training to take, or what brand or style to train in? For most, it’s a life changing decision so it’s not surprising it can feel a little scary. We hear you, and have created this amazing online course that guides you through a practical process. It helps you understand how your yoga practice works and fills in the gaps you require in order to progress to where you want to be.
For you, if you....
In these current times of growing uncertainty, more and more of us are experiencing a longing for more, a clearer sense of purpose and direction. You may be craving change, but unsure what this might look like. What you do know is that you love practicing yoga and it provides a deep sense of connection, and you want to try and understand this more. There are so many yoga books out there, but reading about something and actually feeling and experiencing it are two different things.
Most of our previous students have shared with us about not knowing where to start and sometimes finding the thought of a yoga teacher training intimidating. Perhaps social media images of yoga have put you off, or make you feel inadequate? Yoga should be doing the opposite! Yoga should leave you feeling confident and competent! It can help you awaken the best version of you, that is able to look at things in multiple ways, that is able to make choices based on your individual needs, and embraces you for who you are. Yoga should inspire you to want to keep learning more and more.
This course is designed to help you make change through choice. Change always starts with you. If you look after yourself, you are more able to look after the world. If you change your relationship to yourself, the world around you magically begins to change!

“I have learnt so much about myself from this course, as you have allowed us all to share our ideas – you brought so much self-reflection to the teachings. Before this course I never realised the importance of acknowledging feelings of the body. This course has helped develop my self-practice and I’ve now started a personal diary for how I’m feeling!” - Reza
“Richard frequently took me back to the raw questions of philosophical aspects of yoga that, in my opinion often get forgotten about in regular day to day classes. It reminded me of the importance of facing these concepts not just as a part of integrating yoga with daily life but also being able to revisit these inquiries at different points of my yoga journey. It reminds me of the inquisitive and somewhat challenging questions children often have, like “why is the sky blue? How old is the world?” - Sim
“This course has already provoked the encouragement of positive lifestyle – This is the beginning of an inward change. The yoga has already had an impact into my day-to-day life.” - Sam
“I personally liked how the course encouraged developing your own personal practice and adapting the content to your own needs” - Pauline
“Great overview of yoga – It has given me a vast knowledge in such a short space of time.” - Michael
“I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone who is curious of the parts of yoga that may not be experienced in classes, it really does put into perspective that classes for an hour barely touch the surface of what yoga can offer every being. I would have loved to have this knowledge when I first stumbled across yoga but now that I have, I can honestly say it has enhanced and rejuvenated how I experience my body, mind and soul. Richard is a humble teacher and makes learning extremely accessible, he is open to questions and discussions - with there being no right or wrong, nudges you to find the answers within yourself, whilst acknowledging that these answers are fluid and changeable.” - Sim
