Be Yoga Academy & Yoga with Bryony

Since 2011 we’ve been guiding students in the art of teaching yoga, we always have a small group, high-quality training with world-class tutors and ongoing mentor support.

To be a fully certified teacher you’ll need 180 contact hours with the lead trainers, a further 20 hours of self-study, 2 written exams and two practical assessments. This is the standard set out by Yoga Alliance where our school is registered.

Some students prefer to simply immerse themselves in yoga which is why we offer you the choice to dip into the weekend immersion, day retreat-style experience or to sign up for the certified course.

Over the years many keen yogis have come along with us for the immersive experience and enjoyed the long yoga sessions with brilliant teachers along with the philosophy and anatomy teachings without becoming certified teachers, if you just want to learn and experience personal development through yoga, we welcome you here.

If you decide on the path that you want to commit to the whole 200 hours, we’ve got you. Lots more details below… give us a call to discuss more in-depth.

Yoga Teacher Training

Share your passion for yoga and develop your confidence to teach others…

You will learn…

The Art of Accessible Sequencing

We’ll practice lots of yoga on the training, you’ll learn the benefits of each posture and how both dynamic flow and meditation in stillness are so valuable in a yoga class. You’ll learn how to lead inclusive, accessible classes and how to adapt so that your students can all join in. You’ll be given tried and tested sequencing formulas which you can adapt and theme to make them your own original offerings, we know what works and we’re here to share. Each module has its own recorded home practice for you to do between the modules, you’ll feel your own yoga practice getting stronger and more enriching as you learn.

The Roots & Evolution of Modern Yoga

We are passionate about yoga history and philosophy, we think it is important to honour the cultural roots of yoga and learn the history of the practice from an expert, you’ll receive a half-day teaching from a world-leading expert Matthew Clark, an associate professor at SOAS in London, Matthew has taught on YTTs all over the world for many years. How we then translate these ancient ideals into modern life is also covered in the course, within an extensive library for you to use at Be you’ll have plenty of material to digest and lots of discussion on the evolution of yoga philosophy.

Anatomy for Yoga

Sometimes called functional anatomy the way we learn physiology and anatomy in yoga training is very practical, you’re not at medical school so you don’t need to know absolutely everything! You need the basics and you will learn how to safely instruct your students into and out of the yoga postures. You’ll be taught anatomy by the marvellous Silvia Laurenti who has over 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist, yoga therapist, pilates instructor and anatomy teacher with the Minded Institute. You’ll be given a training manual with the anatomy you’ll need for teaching and an app that we use for the assessments, you’ll have lots of time to learn practically and enjoyably.

The Mystical to the Practical

Often called the subtle body, you’ll learn all about the chakra system, the energetic body and how the mind-body connections are so powerful in healing and well-being. Ancient wisdom from Ayurveda and ritual movement is fascinating to learn about. Course leader Bryony trained in Yoga Trance Dance with Shiva Rea in 2018 and Yoga Therapy with the Minded Institute in 2015, she keeps up to date with the latest research in yoga for the mind and how movement with intention as well as sound can affect our brains, hearts and whole immune system. Mindfulness is naturally a part of the Buddhist teachings that influence yoga, you’ll be guided through various forms of meditation and you’ll make your own Mala beads to help you cultivate your meditation practice.

Holding Space & How to Teach

It can be daunting to stand up and instruct if you’re not used to public speaking, Teaching methodology is learning how to grow the confidence to share the practice you love. Holding space means being present and attentive to others without trying to change or fix them, yoga is a practice that works best when students can go inside and be honest about their capabilities, a great instructor holds a grounded, steady space for students to feel safe and held. Be yoga course leaders are all either qualified therapists and/or trauma-informed yoga teachers, with us you’ll learn to find your authentic voice and teach from your heart with confidence and skill.

The Business of Yoga

We’ll share everything we know about how to set up your own yoga business, how to collaborate and make connections in the industry, how to plan your classes and market yourself and how to manage your earnings and insurance as a small business. The Be Yoga community is now a large network, we offer ongoing mentoring for all our graduates and you’ll be well looked after by our lovely alumni. Ongoing training at Be is always offered at a discount for graduates who need a little help and out graduates are always first in line for getting new classes at our busy studio.

The Morocco Immersion

With a wealth of yoga knowledge at your fingertips, it will be easier to attain success in your field as a highly qualified instructor once you have completed this immersion, reigniting your passion for the practice you love.

Be Yoga tutors are passionate about continuing to learn and refine our skills and our graduates are offering yoga across the country in schools, clinical settings and as part of wellbeing programmes in the corporate world and charitable organisations.

Yoga Training is evolving…

The Immersion Structure

 Over the 7 days, you’ll have hours to explore both dynamic and restorative yoga practices in our Moroccan villa right on the beach including the creative flow state and several forms of meditation. 

Sunrise & sunset yoga and meditation

You will also have the opportunity to explore the deeply restorative practices of Yin yoga & yoga Nidra, the perfect antidote to stressful living. In each module, you’ll be taught breathing practices ( Pranayama ) and learn how to integrate these breath practices into everyday life. 

 This immersion blends the mystical with the practical and you’ll be exploring yoga philosophy through lectures & discussion with passionate tutors who have great respect for the ancient teachings and the modern interpretation of the teachings, we’ll be looking at the intersections between the Buddhist and the Hindu teachings and discussing ways that we can use yoga philosophy in modern life, the foundations of non-harming and loving-kindness for all beings. 

Each day will include different techniques for meditation and you’ll have time to refine each of these to achieve a meditative state with more ease. Meditation is life-changing but it’s not necessarily easy to do straight away, we’ll share with you all our meditation experiences with simple-to-follow instructions.

The space

Our yoga courses all take place at the beautiful Be-yoga Sussex in Hayward’s Heath, this very special place was designed for exactly this kind of event with two large & beautifully spacious yoga studios both with underfloor heating and excellent ventilation, a lounge area and a kitchen, changing rooms, showers, easy parking and plenty of space. Be Yoga provides all the yoga props you’ll ever need and a well-stocked library that you’ll have access to during your immersion.

The value of a yoga training course versus a yoga immersion program depends on what you want to gain from your time with us.

If you want to go deep into the study and practice of yoga and apply that knowledge as a qualified instructor, then a full training course is for you. But if you're looking for a more relaxing experience with long, indulgent yoga sessions including both dynamic flow and deeply nourishing restorative yoga then an immersion program might be a better fit. It all comes down to your expectations for a fulfilling and great-value experience.

Can you come to Morocco and then decide if you want to train? Of course!

We offer flexibility because we always have a small group of between 10 - 15 students, which means we can support each persons individual process.
