We welcome tutor and support to those seeking a deeper understanding of yoga whether this is purely for their own personal yogic development or a desire to teach yoga to others. We nurture students and teachers with empathy and heartfelt commitment.

We offer a safe and positive environment with a compassionate approach to encourage and motivate. We seek to awaken in the student own ability and combined love of yoga to ignite within themselves and others to follow a path of thoughtful insight.

We are committed to the continuous development of meaningful yoga programs and teacher training courses that continue to increase the impact of health and well-being on our communities and thereby uphold the fundamental principles and ethical standards of yoga, subscribing to Ahimsa (non-violence) Satya (truthfulness) Svadhyaya (self-development).

The student’s own health and well-being are of significance to teaching yoga. All students are tutored in the importance of self-care and how to balance their own dosha according to Yoga and Ayurveda. This includes nutrition and ayurvedic practices.

Yogi Health’s Foundation Teacher Training Course gives the student the confidence and integrity to teach yoga. This is achieved by receiving a foundation of knowledge in the philosophy and principles of yoga. Supported by the science of Ayurveda, and functional human anatomical systems, meaning understanding how the systems of the body work together.

 Yoga and Ayurveda

Students will gain a steady and incremental amount of knowledge and skills through diligent practice, purpose and discipline enabling them to expand and improve throughout the tutorials, asana practice and modules. Through the course, they will draw upon their practical skills and knowledge with group discussion, face-to-face adjustment of the practical asana, interactive and immediate question, answer and review sessions, collaborative participation and ‘ hands-on’ adjustment of the practical asana. The supervision from the course leader will be in real-time and feedback and support is given immediately.

The overall course has two major areas- 1. Your own practice and personal development 2. Your Teaching methods. These areas are explored at all junctures to help you clarify your future yoga journey and personal and teaching development.
Students will be asked to apply with honesty regarding their current yoga practice and their reason for wanting to attend the yoga teacher training course, in many cases the foundation course is the first opportunity the student has had for sustained and planned practice and their intention is of interest to the course leader.

For acceptance onto the Yoga Teacher Training course, a mutual meeting time is planned, virtually, this is an opportunity for both the student and course leaders to discuss any questions about the practicalities and suitability of joining the course. Often the course leader may highlight gaps in the student’s current practice and knowledge and therefore suggest the best way in which to prepare for the course, this may involve some mentoring.

After acceptance onto the course, payment will secure a place and a book list, and a pre- yoga practice schedule will be sent out. A time will be agreed upon for a personalised Ayurvedic Health Consultation.
As a graduate of our Registered Training School, you will be able to become insured as a qualified Hatha Yoga Teacher in the UK and Internationally as a safe, knowledgeable, and confident teacher.
Delivering the course will be Yoga Alliance, Yoga Pro 500 hr Yoga Teacher Trainers, Tina Toft and Lori Sjollema.
