We have set a standard that we expect to see in quality training courses.
You're investing in yourself,
wouldn't you want it to be the best you can get?
This is the course that will qualify you. It's important the lead teacher of the course knows what they're talking about. We ask that the lead teacher is a Senior Yoga Teacher (8 years and 4000 hours teaching). Not only that but we think they should teach at least 70% of the course so you can really take in their knowledge.

Once you become a teacher, it's important you continue developing your skills. The learning is never over! Any further training you take should also be lead by (at least) an Experienced Yoga Teacher. We have set the minimum at 4 years experience and 2000 teaching hours, you should receive at least 28 contact hours on these course types.
These are shorter Teacher Training courses designed for specialist areas of interest.
The original concept of these courses was additional training in a specialist area for existing yoga teachers or short training for those who may have a need to incorporate yoga into their work environment i.e. School teachers, midwives, doctors etc.

Really pleased with new standards and emphasis on actual teaching experience which is a much better differentiator than simply how many hours of YTT you have taken!
