The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is where most teachers begin. Ours is rooted in the classical Hatha tradition and taught through the texts that tradition comes from: the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Hatha Pradipika and the Bhagavad Gita.
The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training runs over ten weekends in Rhyl, Wales, starting on 23rd January 2027, on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 6pm, with two live philosophy sessions a week (recorded if you miss one). A Chester intake is also planned, with dates coming soon.
