What to expect
LEADING VINYASA SCHOOL
Baby we got flow! You will be training with one of Australia’s leading Vinyasa Yoga Schools where you wont just learn a set sequence but how to artfully create seamlessly flowing classes. If you love unique flowing sequences make sure to chose a Vinyasa Yoga School!
AN INTIMATE GROUP
Unlike other courses that accept 50+ participants, we are one of the rare trainings were you will have an intimate and a personal, supportive, experience (typically 10-20 students). With the majority of the training in person, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, step away from regular life and immerse yourself in the experience.
DOWN TO EARTH
Our Yoga school is renowned for being down to earth, authentic and welcoming. You don’t need to be slim, hip or cool to roll out your mat with us, everyone is welcome. Our school prides itself on drawing out your own wisdom, message and purpose. We teach Yoga in a religiously neutral way so that all are free to interweave these sacred practices into their life in their own way.
INSPIRING TEACHERS
Our teacher training faculty are not only some of the most highly trained experienced teachers in the industry. They are inspiring people that teach from a place of vulnerability and authenticity. We don’t aim to impress you with what we can do or what we know. It is through our vulnerability, love and humanity that we hold space for you to emerge as a teacher yourself.
What you’ll learn
This is one of the rare opportunities in life where you can focus your attention on getting to know who you are and why you are here. You will strengthen your mind, clear your perceptions and build your own personal power through specific stages of practice and development
This is a practical course, so although you learn a lot, most things are highly interactive, fun and engaging. Many activities involve taking time for personal reflections and insights into how the principles apply to your own life.
