Experience makes the difference
Teaching yoga consists of more than simply the skills required to perform asanas correctly or knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Ultimately, the path to teaching yoga with awareness and understanding involves deepening your own practice.

This course is Byron Yoga Centre’s 91485 NSW Certificate IV Yoga Teaching advanced Teacher Training Course. It is conducted over 4 or 9 days in Byron Bay and is a bridging course for those who have completed Byron Yoga Centre’s Level 1 and 2 advanced Teacher Training Course and would like to gain their Certificate IV in Yoga Teaching.

Byron Yoga Centre’s Nationally Accredited 91485 NSW Certificate IV in Yoga Teaching Course is fully accredited with Yoga Alliance and YTAA. It is designed to deliver holistic training that encompasses the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the yogic path. It is Australia’s first, nationally accredited VETAB 91485 NSW Certificate IV in Yoga Teaching, Yoga Alliance 500 hour RYT and YTAA recognised.

This represents the highest possible qualification in yoga teaching that is recognised both in Australia and internationally.
