NEXT Yoga Alliance 200hr COURSE

Full Time – Intensive (Month long Immersion) February 2026

I’m thrilled to introduce my latest Yoga Teacher Training program. After some time in the making, this offering has evolved into something truly exciting. The inspiration behind it hails from a concept I shared during an interview a few years ago:
 
“Good teaching comes from good practicing.” It’s pretty much that simple.
 
Embarking on a yoga teacher training isn’t just about earning a certification. Unlike other professional qualifications, the certificate holds little weight compared to the wisdom that is cultivated and embodied through dedicated practice.
 
Yoga has a ripple effect, one that extends far beyond the mat. Even if you never plan to teach, your practice alone will influence those around you. You will become a living example of balance, presence, and clarity—qualities that resonate within your home, workplace, and every aspect of your life. It’s not simply about teaching others; it’s about teaching ourselves to embody yoga’s principles in our day-to-day existence. The ability to share these teachings naturally follows.
 
For those of you still with me, let’s take a moment to explore the evolution of yoga in the West.
 
I began my journey in yoga long before the Yoga Alliance or the 200-hour teacher training became standard. My immersion in yoga started in India in 1987. In fact, my first formal teaching training was a two-year apprenticeship in 1997 in Sydney. At the time, no certificate was offered, because we recognised that the certificate was secondary to the practice itself. Yoga, unlike any academic pursuit, is about internalising and sharing these practices in their truest form. The foundation of this learning is regular daily practice.
 
Those truly committed to yoga, driven by curiosity and dedication, continue on their path of study and practice, evolving into the next generation of genuine yogis. This is why I also offer a 300-hour training and mentorship program for those who, like me, remain lifelong students of the practice.
 
The journey to Yoga—union, or as I like to call it, Re-Union with the authentic self—is both profound and personal. In our program, we’ll cultivate a deep personal practice while preparing you to share these practices in a way that is safe, effective, and authentic to your unique self.
