ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

There are no special entry requirements although the course is best suited to those already practising Yoga with a strong practice of 2 years or more, or those already working within the fitness or health industry. Individual attention and guidance in the subtlety and art of yoga practice will be offered so that you may progress towards developing or deepening your own personal practice. Speak to me if you have any concerns about this.

STYLE OF YOGA WE ARE LEARNING

The OPA 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course focuses on the fundamentals of Hatha Yoga which are key to all styles of yoga. Your tutors have trained in Kundalini, Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin/Yang, Restorative, Pre-Natal, Children’s and Trauma-Informed Yoga amongst others so all these different influences will be brought together into your training.

The certificate you receive will allow you to teach Hatha yoga which is a very broad designation and will allow you to find your distinct and personal teaching style. We are intentionally seeking students for this programme who want to find their own voice as a yoga teacher. While we will certainly provide you with a multitude of strong tools and templates to build with, this is your time to learn and share what yoga means to you.
