The course is led by senior yoga teacher and approved trainer-pro Amy Jones and co-tutor Jane Cradick, both Amy and Jane have been involved in teacher training and education for many years, between them they have over 35 years of teaching experience, with a deep rooted passion for supporting others to become successful teachers, so the light that is yoga can shine brightly into the world!  Along side core tutors Amy and Jane, the course is also supported by the experienced teacher trainer Nathalie Wilhelm from Live Love Yoga, yoga business coach Alex Franklin and gravity and aerial yoga specialist Victoria Leigh.

 

Style of Yoga

This course draws primarily upon vinyasa yoga traditions, along with softer hatha and yin practises.  Amy and Jane have studied a variety of styles of yoga, and they share a common approach to yoga teaching based on an eclectic mix of these different styles.  Although yoga is often characterised into specific styles, and their associated lineages, there is only one yoga; the art of intuitively listening to the body, breath and mind to achieve balance.
