200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course

with Ann Pidcock, Roberto Rubalcava & guest tutors

The course is designed to integrate all aspects of the yoga tradition (poses, anatomy, philosophy, meditation) in an informed yet non-dogmatic way. Traditional teachings are aligned with up- to-date anatomical knowledge and the awareness of the contemporary evolution of yoga practices.

Modules on anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and neurodynamics led by trained physiotherapists in addition to senior yoga teachers establish a strong foundation for understanding of the body and intelligent movement so that you can teach knowledgeably, safely and inclusively. Modules on yogic philosophy and history inform and inspire your teaching and personal practice. Every day on the training begins with a group practice so you can embody the principles taught in the various modules and deeply advance your own personal practice.

The training includes the following:
1. Regular Vinyasa Flow group practices led by Lead Trainers and guest teachers.
2. Extensive Asana (Pose) Analysis – including progressions, alternatives and modifications.
3. The History and Philosophy of Yoga – including the Sutras and 8-Limb Path.
4. Experiential Anatomy – including principles of alignment, movement fundamentals & biomechanics.
5. Subtle and Energetic Anatomy.
6. Pranayama, Meditation, Chanting, Mudras and Mantra
(Module on Mantra and Chanting with Sivani Mata Francis)
7. Teaching Methodology – skills and techniques for teaching creatively, accurately, safely and inclusively to open level group classes.
8. Creative class-planning techniques.
9. Modules in the principles, practice and teaching of Yin, Restorative, Pre- and Post-natal Yoga.
10. Thorough guidance on Assisting Techniques – offering both verbal and hands-on adjustments- and how to offer sensitive and appropriate touch for assisting.
11. Teaching Practice – developed in manageable increments of ‘live’ teaching time towards teaching a full 60-minute Vinyasa Flow class.
12. The course requires some home study – including reading, journaling, preparing, observing and attending classes.

Weaving together all of these components inspires you to develop your unique, creative teaching voice whilst building on a solid, rich, and well-informed teaching methodology.
