This part time course is a Level 1 200-hour Teacher Training accredited with Yoga Alliance. The course is designed to deliver our Purna Yoga holistic approach to training that encompasses not just learning about the asanas (postures) but also the many other aspects of yoga: pranayama (breathing practices), meditation, and yogic philosophy.

The weekend course is conducted over a total of six weekends. This price includes Friday and Saturday night accomodation and meals, from Friday dinner to Sunday lunch, at Byron Yoga Retreat Centre.

Part time trainings allows you to integrate your new yoga knowledge and complete the online aspects in between the sessions. It’s an ideal flexible option for those with busy lives, and other family and/or work commitments.
