200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
This is hands-on - NOT an online course
Yoga is a practice of developing a deeper sense of conscious awareness. For many of us, that awareness, and then connection begins through the physical, on the mat.
​
Maybe you have enjoyed the benefits of Yoga for some time and would like to take your journey to the next level.
You may wish how to learn to take this incredible practice off the mat, into your life. Learning not only the physical, but also the philosophical aspects of Yoga, will deepen your practise and understanding of why this ancient system has stood the test of time, and has helped so many people improve their physical and emotional health.
This 200-hour teacher training course will give you all the tools you need to be able to teach Yoga with safety and confidence to a variety of clientèle of mixed levels, from beginners through to more advanced dynamic classes.
​
Our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training courses are kept small to ensure you receive individual attention and are able to have all your questions answered. Performance Yoga’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training course runs over 3 long weekends as an intensive, face to face course.
​
Together with this, students will be set written assignments, which all goes towards their assessment.
​
THIS IS NOT AN ONLINE COURSE, but numbers are kept to a minimum to ensure not only individual attention, but give you the physical space for your safety. Additional home study and practise non-contact hours are also part of the course.
​
On completion of the course you will receive a Diploma and we can recommend a suitable insurance company to cover you for teaching a wide range of Yoga classes.
