Hot Yoga on 20th

Teacher Training

Our next session starts in October 2011. It will run every weekend from October 8th - December 11th, with a two week intensive period from November 7th - 19th. This is a Yoga Alliance certified 200 hour teacher training. That means students will have 200 contact hours with the tutors, as well as independent study, reading and practice time. Our Teacher Training Courses are designed to teach you all that a traditional yoga teacher training course would, with the additional option to teach a hot yoga sequence. Our previous experience has shown students gained much more when fully immersed in Teacher Training. Intensive training dramatically boosts confidence in teaching skills while simultaneously building a progressive yoga practice.

We recommend that students have at least 6 months hot yoga practice. If you have been practicing at another studio we require a letter of recommendation from your yoga teacher.
