200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
York City Centre
October 2018 - July 2019
My Yoga Journey Teacher Training teaches the skills required to become effective, confident and inspirational teachers of yoga. Students are encouraged to develop their own style of yoga and focus on their intentions for their future - where and who they will be teaching.
As well as teaching the practical skills and knowledge that will enable students to teach yoga in a variety of environments and set up their own classes, students will refine their own practice and explore other aspects of yoga; including mindfulness, pranayama and meditation.
We believe that teaching practice is the best way to gain confidence and develop the skills that will lead towards a successful and fulfilling career as a yoga teacher.
Our aims
This course focuses on the practical skills and knowledge that are required to teach yoga in a variety of environments and set up classes. It encourages students to develop and refine their own practice and explore other aspects of yoga including mindfulness, pranayama and meditation.
