How it works

200 Hour Teacher Training Curriculum

Science of Yoga – Body Systems Anatomy and Physiology

  • Through a Western lens, you will gain knowledge and understanding of the muscle, bone and nervous systems.

Yogic Physiology

  • Through a Yoga lens, you will gain knowledge and understanding of energetic systems of the body.

Techniques of Body Movement

  • Using Western understanding of anatomy and physiology and Yoga energetics, you will learn, in your own body, principles of alignment in postures – Asana; sequencing, transitions/flow, restoratives, benefits and precautions

Techniques of Breath Science

  • You will experientially explore how a range of traditional Yoga Pranayama and other breath practices impact our physiology and mental and emotional health.

Techniques of Meditation

  • You will deepen your own practice and understanding of mindfulness and other meditation practices, including concentration, visualisation, loving kindness, mantra and yoga nidra. You will learn from your own experience and reflection how these impact your nervous system and subsequent physical, mental and emotional health. Through these practices, you will develop the capacity for kindness, joy, compassion and equanimity.

Philosophy and Ethics

  • Off the mat and away from the cushion is where we see the real fruits of our practice. In our relationship with others and the world, attitude and approach is everything. We will explore the basics of the paths of Yoga and Buddhist philosophy, and how these integrate into your own values system to develop a lifestyle that supports your practice as a health or mental health practitioner. You will explore the ethics of the teacher role and how it compares to and integrates with your role as a health or mental health practitioner. We will cover Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Framework for understanding mindfulness and behaviour activation.

Delivery of Techniques

  • When you are steeped in your own practice, sharing with others becomes natural. You will learn how to share your wisdom with a wide variety of clinical and non-clinical populations. Voice, demonstration and physical adjustments, as well as interviewing, coaching and leading meditation practice will be covered. You will learn to integrate and distinguish your role as a yoga and mindfulness teacher and mental health or health professional.

Teaching is cumulative, so students must attend all modules. Learning involves lectures, yoga and mindfulness meditation (practiced each day in session), group activities, self-reflection and home study and practice.

The mind is embodied in our cellular being. Everything we think and emotionally feel is revealed in our body. We can train mind, body and heart through Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation.

There is a revolution in mental healthcare where mind-body practices are increasingly recognised for their ability to compliment other therapy, and in certain situations, even used as an alternative.

Join us in this evolution!

Grounded, centred and open-heartedly present to
the core of our own being, we are then available for others
