Course material

Please don’t share the manuals with anyone. They are subject to copyright law.
Hard Copy Manual

Homework
We use the term Homework loosely here, there is a requirement of 18 hours of learning outside of the course, some will be written but mostly to establish a Yin Yoga Practice (students have said that this is their favourite ever homework!) and to read a book (you’ll get several options) and write down your thoughts and questions.
No exams
There won’t be any exams. Rather, we are interested in seeing that you have gained an understanding and knowledge that you can apply to each individual student depending on their needs. This course is intended to spark your interest in embarking on or continuing this fascinating journey.
This course won’t be recorded
….but if you miss sessions and want to catch up, you have two options:
1) You can wait until the next course and re-join us for free if it’s one day or less. If it’s more than one day you can join for an admin fee of £50.
2) …or you can buy access to our recorded video library and catch up straight away: you’ll get two weeks access for just £25

Who can join?
We recommend that you have done a 200 hour teacher training (any style) but this is not mandatory! If you haven’t: just let us know and we will look into what other experiences you have and we’ll give you extra support during the course.
The intention is to give you, as a teacher, more tools, to broaden your teaching skills as well as your target groups. Perhaps you have done a training in a dynamic yoga style and would like to add a slow style to your teaching menu as well – to be able to teach back to back classes at studios and retreats?
We (Melanie and Jennie) have worked together for almost 10 years and have 45 years of teaching experience between us from teaching yoga and teacher trainings full time.
We have experienced a lot over the years – and what we keep coming back to is how important it is to be authentic, to find “your voice” as a teacher and to have the courage to be YOURSELF when you are teaching! Working as a yoga teacher is amazing – but it also takes a lot of energy – and can be very draining if you are not looking after yourself. (And it’s so easy to not give ourselves that time/attention/selfcare – so in the training we will also put emphasis on how to create space for your own health and practice: to stay balanced and mentally strong!

Upon completion you will receive a certificate, Yoga Alliance 50 hrs (The Shala & YogaTreat, RYS 300 & YACEP). If you wish, you may also additionally register the hours with Yoga Alliance Professionals as CPD hours (CE hours; Continuing Education).
