This intensive Teacher training course changed my life, my perspective on yoga, and made me realise how important your own self-practice is to help you grow to become a successful yoga teacher. Challenging but fun, it covered everything I needed to start my yoga journey and all the yoga teachers were extremely knowledgeable and professional. I found the environment supportive and very connected with others.

Loved the weekend and left feeling inspired to learn more. Karen knows her stuff, and delivers very complex material in an accessible way. I'm looking forward to spending time reading the course notes in more detail and developing my knowledge further.
