How long does it last?
The first year is a stand alone 300 hour programme. Eleven weekends starting in September 21 or January 22. We strongly recommend a 500 hour programme for all Yoga teachers but you can teach after this year if you decide to postpone your second year or if you have an existing 200 Yoga teaching qualification.
The second year is a 200 hour programme. Ten weekends also running from September to September.
A combination of 500 hours, creating a comprehensive and rigorous teacher training course.
Which institutions certify the course?
We are a British Wheel of Yoga Approved Yoga School.
Certification is also by the Independent Yoga Network (IYN). The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) recognises 300 hour and 500 hour yoga courses certified by the IYN.
The optional, additional Certificate in Education and Training is a Government recognised teaching qualification. It is accredited by the Shiatsu College’s accrediting body, Laser Learning Awards and allows you to teach in Further Education colleges.
Please note that the additional Certificate of Education and Training, graduate registration with IYN, student registration with BWY and residential accommodation incur extra costs.
