Yoga Spirit • 350Hr Certificate of Teaching Hatha Yoga • Led by Sandra Bryant
- Ongoing roll out from February 2018, Torrensville, South Australia.
- Level 1: $10,088. Advance payment in full lump sum, flexible terms.
The Yoga Spirit Studios Teacher Training Program is the gold standard of teacher training programs in Australia. The course begins with an understanding that Hatha Yoga is movement with awareness and that its practice can unlock hidden depths, ultimately leading to the integration of the whole person. In a safe environment, trainees discover how yoga can excavate body memories and how healing can be found through movement.
The innate teacher emerges from a chrysalis of deep-felt understanding of the origins of movement and of the connection between movement and feeling states.
This training has two levels, a 350 hour Level 1 Certificate and add-on subjects to bring it to the 500 hour Level 2 Advanced Certificate. This training is not a fast track to certification as it takes time to integrate the deep teachings of the hatha yoga path. The course is recognized by Yoga Australia as full meeting their requirements of admission as a Level 1 Yoga Teacher.

This teacher training is different: a technical and apprentice-style training with emphasis on anatomy and biomechanics. Much of your training will be hands-on, apprentice-style learning so that when you qualify, you already have teaching experience. This training is for you if you like to know how things work and hate being asked to accept things because of tradition or because someone tells you it’s so. Aside from deepening your practice, you’ll learn effective teaching skills and get real results for your future students. It is a VERY interactive training so expect lots of group discussions, teaching practice, and more interactions!
