You Will Learn…

The Art of Accessible Sequencing
On this training, you will practice a wide range of yoga postures, flows, and stillness practices, gaining a deep understanding of the benefits of each. You’ll discover how to balance dynamic movement with meditative stillness, and why both are essential in a well-rounded class. A key skill you’ll develop is how to create inclusive, adaptable sequences so that every student—regardless of experience, ability, or background—feels welcome. You’ll receive tried-and-tested sequencing frameworks that you can adapt, expand, and theme into your own unique teaching style. Each module comes with a recorded home practice to support your learning, helping you to strengthen, refine, and enrich your personal practice as you grow into your role as a teacher.

The Roots & Evolution of Modern Yoga
Yoga is not only a physical practice but a profound cultural tradition. In this course, you will honour its history and philosophy by exploring the cultural and spiritual roots of yoga. You’ll spend dedicated time with Dr. Matthew Clark, associate professor at SOAS and a world-renowned scholar who has taught yoga philosophy across the globe. With him, you’ll gain insight into the origins of yoga and the stories, lineages, and philosophies that shaped it. Together, we’ll reflect on how these ancient teachings can be interpreted meaningfully in our modern lives. You’ll also have access to an extensive library of resources at Be Yoga, supporting you to deepen your own understanding and engage in lively discussions about how yoga philosophy continues to evolve today.

Anatomy for Yoga
Our anatomy training is designed to be practical, relevant, and inspiring—no dense textbooks or overwhelming medical jargon. Sometimes called “functional anatomy,” this approach gives you the essential knowledge you need to teach safely and with confidence. You’ll learn from Silvia Laurenti, a physiotherapist, yoga therapist, pilates instructor, and anatomy educator with more than 30 years of experience. She’ll guide you in understanding how the body moves in asana, how to support safe alignment, and how to protect both your students and yourself from injury. You’ll receive a comprehensive manual, an anatomy app for revision and assessments, and plenty of hands-on, interactive practice to make anatomy not only memorable but enjoyable.

The Mystical to the Practical
Moving beyond muscles and bones, you’ll explore the subtle body—chakras, energy pathways, and the fascinating interplay of body, mind, and spirit. We’ll study ancient wisdom traditions, including Ayurveda, alongside modern research into yoga’s effects on the nervous system, heart, and immune system. Bryony, your course leader, brings her training with Shiva Rea (Yoga Trance Dance, 2018) and The Minded Institute (Yoga Therapy, 2015), weaving scientific research with ritual movement and sound practices. You’ll explore mindfulness, Buddhist-influenced meditation, and how intention and rhythm can transform inner states. As part of this journey, you’ll craft your own mala beads—a symbolic and practical tool to deepen your meditation practice.

Holding Space & Teaching with Confidence
Teaching yoga is not simply instructing movements; it is about creating a safe and supportive environment where transformation can occur. Learning how to “hold space” is central to this. You’ll practice developing a calm, grounded presence that reassures students and helps them feel secure in exploring their practice. We’ll guide you in finding your authentic teaching voice, refining your communication skills, and gaining confidence in public speaking. Because our trainers are therapists and trauma-informed yoga teachers, you’ll also learn how to approach teaching with compassion, sensitivity, and awareness, ensuring your classes feel inclusive, welcoming, and empowering.

The Business of Yoga
Teaching is a calling, but it is also a livelihood. This module is about giving you the tools to thrive as a professional yoga teacher. You’ll learn the practicalities of setting up classes, building community, and creating opportunities in a sustainable way. From managing your income and insurance to marketing and networking, we’ll share insider knowledge and proven strategies. You’ll be welcomed into Be Yoga’s thriving community, with ongoing mentoring and access to graduate discounts for continued training. As part of our alumni network, you’ll also be first to hear about opportunities to teach at our busy studio.
