Do you love your weekly yoga classes and feel ready to go a little deeper?
This 40-hour Pre-Foundation course is designed for dedicated students who want to understand why we practise what we practise — the philosophy, tradition, and principles that bring yoga to life.
Perhaps you’re curious about taking your first steps towards teacher training. Or maybe teaching isn’t your path right now, maybe you simply want to enrich your personal practice, explore classical and Hatha yoga, and discover more about the living tradition behind it.
Either way, this course offers you the foundations: clarity, confidence, and a more meaningful connection to yoga beyond the mat.
You’ll receive certification for over 40 hours of study (28 in-person contact hours plus guided online learning), and be introduced to the essentials of posture practice, yoga philosophy, and teaching foundations in a supportive and inspiring environment.
What You’ll Explore:
Asana Investigation – from vinyasa to restorative, exploring physiology, alignment, and esoteric anatomy
Historical & Cultural Roots of Yoga – understanding the living tradition and its relevance today
Breath as Energy- learning to control your life force with pranayama techniques
Meditation Made Accessible – practical methods for understanding and stilling the mind
Yoga Philosophy for the Modern Householder – ancient wisdom for everyday life
Building a Home Practice – for structure, consistency & inspiration
The Path Ahead – insight into teacher training and how to prepare
