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 12-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.
