Yoga Teacher Training 200hr Program
Deepen your yoga & spiritual practice, bring massive and meaningful benefit to your own professional & personal life...and get accredited to teach others how they can do it too!
Being a yoga teacher trained through The Mindful Yoga School means that you’ll be guided to embody and teach PRESENCE.
Mindful Yoga places an emphasis on incorporating mindfulness philosophy throughout the yoga practice. The physical body, breath and mind become our object of focus as we move through the postures (asanas), breath work (pranayama) and meditation. The sequencing of a Mindful Yoga class can incorporate aspects of many various yoga styles including hatha, yin and restorative.
Mindful Yoga is about presence through both movement AND stillness, and into consciousness - of body, speech, mind and heart. Mindfulness is a way to live on purpose with kindness. Meditation helps us to cultivate meaningful qualities and create a more balanced, peaceful and inspired life.
This is soul-full living 🙌
This Mindful Yoga training program is taught part time (in-person/online contact hours are on average one weekend a month over seven months, with at-home study/practice in between).
During the teacher training, you'll be supported to unveil your own true authentic self, and then encouraged to teach from this space, while still upholding the classical teachings of yoga that have been in existance for thousands of years.
Expand Your Presence
An opportunity to immerse yourself into the healing and soul-fulfilling modality of yoga, to bring more presence and purpose into everything else that you do in life. Many undertake this program solely for their own personal development rather than to officially teach.
Make a Difference
A yoga teacher holds space for others to come to their own deep self-realisations. This is an incredible way to have an impact on the lives of others, at a very deep level. Whether you choose to do this program for your own personal development, or you have intentions to create a thriving yoga business afterwards, you'll be contributing to a better world.
Unveil Your Truth
Learn to teach yoga with true authenticity, certainty and confidence. Be supported to take a journey of the self, through the self, to the self - a powerful place to have a real impact on the world around you, and extract clarity on your own deepest values and truths.
"The whole experience of completing my Yoga Teacher Training was beyond amazing. The way the course is structured and delivered was perfect. So much support and genuine compassion for the different ways we all learn. I did my research prior to the course which did take years before finding Erin and I can't recommend this course more highly."
