“The course was fab and life changing - I can’t quite believe that I’m on the cusp of starting to teach yoga - it was such a distant dream”
— Caroline Mackley

About the course

Our yoga teacher training has a down to earth and supportive approach, delving into the history and philosophy of yoga whilst exploring different styles including Hatha and Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Restorative and Yin. Learning about the many facets of yoga, you are supported to develop your own teaching voice. We teach with an awareness of inclusivity and trauma sensitivity and you learn how to create safe, welcoming spaces for your students to share.

The yoga teacher training is taught predominantly in the studio in Sussex, with some theory sessions taught online. These sessions are recorded, allowing you to go back over the content and cement your learning. You also have the option to join sessions online via Zoom if you can’t make a day in the studio. Our online learning platform also includes tutorials, an asana library, lesson plans and overviews of all the subjects we cover in class.

The course involves lots of hands on teaching practice, feedback and reflection from day one, ensuring you’re a confident and competent teacher by the end of the course. You will gain a deeper understanding of yoga and of yourself, whilst connecting with a lovely bunch of friends who will become your support network as you step out into the world of teaching yoga.

 

Areas of study

  • Asana and their benefits physically and emotionally, sanskrit names and meanings. Alignment, teaching technique and verbal cues. Adjustments, modifications and contra-indications including adapting practice for specific conditions.

  • Planning lessons: sequencing and flow of a class, teaching different levels and helping students to progress.

  • Teaching methodology: using clear language and visual demonstration, knowing when to use hands-on assists. Teaching groups and 1:1, understanding the requirements for each.

  • Finding your teaching voice: teaching practice, feedback and self reflection, finding your niche and passion for teaching.

Why train with Live Love Yoga? 

To put it simply, I love what I do! This is evident in the passion that goes into all my teacher training courses, but don’t just take my word for it, here are a few from some of my students…

I have a down to earth approach, recognising that most of my students have work, family and life to juggle as well as studying! For me, yoga is fun, explorative, personal and transformational and this is reflected in the team of teachers and the ethos of the course, which includes:

  • small numbers so you receive lots of teacher time and plenty of support

  • friendly and welcoming environment

  • well rounded syllabus

  • knowledgeable teachers with a wealth of experience

  • Yoga Alliance registered teacher training course

Having been teaching since 2009, I am experienced and dedicated to what I do. With a background in education as well as yoga, I have a clear way of helping students to develop their understanding and experience through practical learning. Whilst I ensure a solid understanding of the many areas of yoga I encourage you to find your own teaching style through lots of practical learning. Whether you want to become a yoga teacher or just learn more about the practice, it is an amazing journey that I am fortunate to be sharing with others. You can find out more about the teacher training team here.
