It is your responsibility as an instructor to ensure that coverage is provided for each class or private session that you instruct. In most cases, to qualify for professional liability insurance you must be registered with Yoga Australia, Yoga Alliance, or another yoga or movement-related organization.

What if I Have to Miss a Session?

Virtual Courses: All Zoom sessions will be recorded, so if you have to miss a virtual workshop a recording will be available for you to review in your own time.

Face-to-Face Courses:  If you have to miss a face-to-face session, you can join us for virtual (live Zoom) sessions, or review the virtual recording for that study unit.

• If you have to miss a session or more due to Covid illness, you can join us in virtual sessions, catch up with virtual session recordings, or postpone your training to our next course at no cost.

What if I Can’t Complete the Course?

There are some circumstances in life that we cannot predict, and if an obstacle comes up in your life that causes you to have to discontinue your studies, we can work together to try to assist you in completing the course at another time. This will be dealt with on a “case by case” basis, but know that we will accommodate our teacher trainees to the best of our ability.

Can I Take Just One Module at A Time? Can I Take the Modules in Different Cities?

Absolutely. We understand that not everyone can take large blocks of time away from work and family responsibilities to undertake training. You can take just one module to deepen your practice and begin to explore yoga. Or, you can take modules in different cities at times that work for you. See the Module-by-Module study calendar for more, and please discuss with your course coordinator to plan a schedule that suits your life best.

Do I Have to Be Able to Do Advanced Yoga Poses to Become an Instructor?

Simple answer? No.

Long answer: Students interested in joining a teacher training program often ask me this question, and the answer is quite simple; If you have found yoga to be an important part of your life and your personal growth, if you have a sincere desire to learn, and if you are passionate about bringing all the rewards and experiences of yoga to others then you are a suitable candidate to become a yoga instructor. The process of teacher training will help you to further develop your practice, and perhaps this means that you will be able to safely practice more yoga postures as a result, but more importantly you will learn accessible options to make yoga postures safe and joyful for all participants.

Keep in mind that yoga is not just about the poses, but about a lifelong practice and an intentional state of being that is inclusive, accepting, compassionate and loving. We have had students of ages from 17 to 70 successfully complete the course and go on to become inspiring and successful teachers. To be able to safely demonstrate basic yoga asanas is important but does not exclude teachers of differing levels of skill and ability. What is most important is that you can demonstrate the fundamental principles of yoga on and off the mat.

What if I Don’t Want to Become an Instructor?

Many students come to teacher training to simply deepen their own practice and knowledge of the rich teachings of yoga. Having said that, many of these students discover during the process that they do have a desire to become teachers, but this is not essential. Our pre-requisite for the course is that students have a committed practice and a sincere desire to learn, what you do with your new wisdom and experience is up to you.

I Am Already a Yoga Instructor, But Want to Study and Teach Vinyasa Flow

We welcome yoga teachers from all backgrounds, styles and lineages to take part in the post-graduate 150-hour or 300-hour Post Graduate Yoga Teacher Training.

I Am Not Sure I Want to Commit to the Full Course

If you aren’t sure if teacher training is for you, or if this course is a good fit for you, you can have a ‘taste’ of teacher training with:

If you would like to have a ‘taste’ of yoga teacher training, the 50-hour Vinyasa Flow Foundations program is a great introduction to the teacher training experience.

If you would like to have an exploration of yoga practice and philosophy in a blended face-to-face + online course, join us for the 100-hour Vinyasa Flow Fundamentals program.

If you would like to begin teaching with a shorter course, the 200-hour yoga teacher training will give you all the practice, theory, and skills to begin your teaching practice.

What should I bring to the class?

For face-to-face or live zoom sessions, wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that moves easily with your body. Wear layers to keep you cool during practice, and warm during study hours. Have note-taking materials (pen, paper) and your water bottle.

For face-to-face courses, blankets and props will be provided, but you might like to bring your favourite  sitting and meditation props (cushion, eye pillow, weighted blanket).

For zoom courses, ideally have some props (bricks, strap, blanket).  If you don’t have these props, a variety of cushions and blankets, a small towel or thin scarf can be useful.
