course overview
Develop a strong and intelligent practice
Focusing on posture and movement and with meditation and pranayama, the morning yoga sessions rewires your practice to be safer and more expressive. In workshops, we go into detail, working with the hows and whys of different joint positions before translating that into common postures, sequences, and exercises. We create a guidebook for what each joint complex should do in each position irrespective of the pose, making things so much easier to understand.
Develop teaching skills and communication
Bringing your knowledge and newfound practice together, we spend considerable time developing and practising communication skills to transform you into a successful yoga teacher. To achieve this, we start teaching right away with teaching games, improvisation, role play and good old repetition and refinement. This process is proven to help you find your unique teaching voice and to succeed in the industry.
Get into detail
Utilising our comprehensive yoga teacher training manual, we study the theory behind the practice. Included are talks and interactive workshops on topics like; yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, sequencing, alignment, yoga history, the yoga industry, lifestyle, non-violent communication and much more. These interactive talks help us understand the reasons for what we do and everything you’ll teach.
Start your learning online today
Although there is a wait between today and when we meet, we think it’s a good idea to start learning immediately. Stefan developed an online course called ‘A New Yoga,’ designed to be the step between now and YTT. This included online course, with its e-book, talks and yoga classes, gives you a considerable boost in understanding before we start in person.

what we teach
yoga synergy
In this training, you’ll learn Yoga Synergy, a practice familiar with modern postural yoga like vinyasa. Yoga Synergy has a strong focus on working with and understanding human physiology. At the same time, it is strongly influenced by Taoist Yoga, like Qi Gong. This evidence-based approach focuses on maintaining a safe practice accessible to students of all levels. The movements are specific, the poses purposeful, and the teaching style intentional. Learn more about it here.
