  • Pranayama (breathwork) and meditation practices – how to guide breath and stillness, and how to bring these into a teaching framework.

  • Teaching practice with feedback – you’ll get experience teaching in “real-life” class contexts, with guidance and support, so you finish feeling confident to step into a teaching role.

  • Integration & personal growth – You’ll maintain a personal practice journal, complete e-learning modules and take time to integrate what you learn between session.
