Yoga Arts style of Asana is varied, and  for a good reason, through our experience we have learnt’ that one style does not suit everyone, so in our courses we teach different styles, so each teacher training student is equipped to choose different ways of teaching depending on what students they have or what type of class they would like to teach.

The Yoga Arts Teacher Training Program is based on clear and effective methods to ensure that we deliver all the tools possible to the new teacher to be, skilled to teach not just to group classes but to have the knowledge to teach to specific individual needs.

Our practice classes are varied to teach different methods of teaching we do not teach only one style. We teach a variety of methods in a non dogmatic framework.

Vinyasa Flow, Dynamic,   Prop Classes, Restorative classes, Hatha Style, Yin, Yoga Nidra, Alignment focused & prop use & modification understanding.

We require that you have a minimum of 18months  of a consistent yoga practice before enrolling in our teacher training program. We want to make sure that trainees have a basic foundation in the primary yoga postures before taking our course. We understand that there will still be many different levels of students that join us regardless of the duration of experience, so we will be delivering a strong foundation of knowledge taught so everyone who is participating will get this information clearly. We often have students that are already teaching that join our course also.

We recommend that you prepare for joining the course by attending  classes with an experienced teacher before arrival. 

That is absolutely fine if you do not want to Teach. Many students join us to have access to a high-quality yoga training. This is a perfect place for those who want to go beyond the physical aspect of yoga to study meditation and philosophy. Our training is ideal for those who want to go deeper into the study of yoga, and to improve their own practice & skills. It’s also great for students who simply want to have a transformational experience. We have had many students join us that simply want to do the training for their  own learning and not to teach but once they have finished the course they find that they have learned so much and have also had a taste of what teaching is all about that they change their mind !

Many students take our course that may be afflicted with an injury or disease that they are living with.

As part of their learning and healing process we work with this with our experienced team to help alleviate and educate the student on how to work with their problem.

We also always recommend that you check with your physician first if you are dealing with something serious.

We have had many pregnant students in our programs over the years. It all depends on how you are feeling during your pregnancy.

All students should first check with the doctor to make sure they are clear to take this training.

We have taken students from the age range of 17 to 75yrs old so we are open to a very  wide age participation.

To receive your certificate of completion you must attend 100% of the classes to comply with the Yoga Alliance requirements.

If you are not feeling well, but are still able, we recommend that you come to the class to observe the class without participation, unless of course it is not safe for the other students, then we recommend you stay in your accommodation to rest and evaluate your situation. If you are just feeling a bit off, we recommend to come so as part of your learning experience our senior teachers can recommend a program for you to do to help elevate your condition, this is a good learning experience to learn what techniques to apply when you are not feeling well.
