Yoga Teacher Training in Newquay, Cornwall

Our Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) offers an incredible opportunity to connect with yoga on a profound level, exploring both its physical and spiritual dimensions. All this unfolds in the breathtaking coastal surroundings of Cornwall.

Expect a journey that’s not just exciting but also deeply fulfilling. During the course, you’ll be mentally, emotionally, and physically challenged as you delve into subjects like anatomy, engage in plenty of physical movement to awaken your muscles, and confront and refine your inner dialogue. Throughout this transformative process, you’ll receive unwavering support from our teacher trainers.

About Our Curriculum:

Getting your 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga certification is like laying down the groundwork to become an awesome Vinyasa Flow teacher. We believe Ashtanga Yoga is the building blocks of Vinyasa Flow so this will be the foundation of our practice.

Now, we won’t sugarcoat it – this course will push you physically, and we’ll dive deep into Western anatomy. But it’s not just about the poses or the physical body. We’re all about being true yogis in the real world we live in so there’s plenty of philosophy discussions throughout the course; we believe it’s like a big puzzle – the physical stuff helps with the spiritual side, and the spiritual stuff makes your physical practice better.
