The training
200hr courses are a great foundation, but they are broad courses. Doing this 300 hour allows you to dig much, much deeper on the subjects that matter most to you. Often when students go on to teach there is a realisation that teaching yoga is far bigger and more nuanced than most people realise.
In this course we get a chance to build on the knowledge and skills we already have and really look deeply into subjects such as alignment, sequencing, anatomy and physiology.
Open only to those with an existing foundation 200hr teacher training qualification, this is a chance to refine and hone your yoga understanding and teaching skills and take you to the next level.
Core modules
The first part of the course is structured as Seven Core Modules with Ian Davis.
These Core Modules build on subjects that make a huge difference in all yoga classes and help us to become a better teacher. Each weekend will be Saturday and Sunday 9am to 6pm (latest) with an hour at lunch and a few other breaks along the way.
​
Module 4 · Advanced anatomy and physiology.
November 25th & 26th 2023
​
How muscles get stronger. How we use slow twitch and fast twitch muscles differently in the body. Understanding what effects our energy. The difference between strength and stamina. And learning to create more stability in the body. We’ll also spend a day considering the mechanics, importance and value of good breathing. Book here
​
Module 3 · A happier, healthier life.
January 13th & 14th 2024
​
Considering the great texts and teachings of yoga - chakras, kosha’s, Sutras and the Gita. Not treating them as historical or scholarly works but as incredible tools to help us and our students transform ourselves and lead truly happier healthier lives. Book here
​
Module 6 · Teaching actions not postures.
March 23 & 24 2024
Tiny shifts in the alignment of a pose can move the work from one muscle to another without really changing the way a pose looks. We need to see those shifts and changes and teach our students to feel and make them deliberately in their own practice. This weekend focuses on alignment and the super important skill of teaching actions to our students, not poses. Book here.
​
Module 7 · Yoga is for everybody.
​
May 25 & 26 2024
​
A weekend of discussion on accessibility and inclusivity. Yoga has the potential to become seen as something for the beautiful and young. But yoga’s greatest strength has always been it’s ability to work in and on every body and mind. We will consider how we spread the message to wider audiences. Particularly young and old, the overweight, the poorly, those with learning difficulties, anxiety or depression. Book here.
​
Module 1 · Growing as a teacher and as a student.
​
September 14th & 15th 2024
​
Taking a look at both our yoga practice and our teaching and working out what we need to really grow in both. Every teacher is individual, we will work to create a bespoke plan for the teacher and student you’d like to be. Book here
​
Module 2 · Awesome skills for yoga teaching.
​
November 30th & December 1st 2024
​
Storytelling, weaving themes through a class, better cuing, ways to use our voice, sequencing, connecting to our students and helping them to connect to themselves. This weekend is all about becoming a better teacher. Book here
​
Module 5 · Muscles in focus.
January 18th & 19th 2025
​
Yoga works brilliantly right through the body and should touch all of our muscles from quads to cardiac. Some are real problem areas for people, so we will take a look at those to understand why and have a plan for how we can make a difference in them. Particularly glutes, serratus, psoas, transverse abdominus and pelvic floor. Book here
