– Alex, UK
We (Melanie and Jennie) have worked together for almost 18 years and have over 50 years of teaching experience between us from teaching yoga and teacher trainings full time. We have experienced a lot over the years – and what we keep coming back to is how important it is to be authentic, to find “your voice” as a teacher and to have the courage to be YOURSELF when you are teaching! Working as a yoga teacher is amazing – but it also takes a lot of energy – and can be very draining if you are not looking after yourself. (And it’s so easy to not give ourselves that time/attention/self care – so in the training we will also put emphasis on how to create space for your own health and practice: to stay balanced and mentally strong!

Although this is a course – there’ll also be many breaks and Yoga Nidra practices. We always get the feedback
“I’ve learn a LOT – but I don’t feel overwhelmed or exhausted! It was like a mini retreat, and I loved the supportive and non-dogmatic approach!
No exams
No written tests or “performance” required, rather, we are interested in seeing that you have gained an understanding and knowledge that you can apply to each individual student depending on their needs. This course is intended to spark your interest in embarking on or continuing this fascinating journey.
Homework
We use the term Homework loosely here, the purpose is to establish a Yoga Nidra practice and write down reflections (Students always say that this is their favourite ever homework!)
Language:
English
The course won’t be recorded
We pride ourselves in delivering a live, interactive course where students can ask questions, get involved and provide feedback, thoughts and input to the course as it happens. There are many pre-recorded options available, but we think that it makes a better learning experience to really get involved and to keep that group atmosphere, so we don’t record our sessions.
We also want to respect the privacy of our students and friends: this is a safe learning space where growth and personal development can take place. We know from experience that it’s quite common that people get a bit nervous or uncomfortable when sessions are being recorded and therefore won’t participate in group discussions etc – and we want everyone to feel safe, to be able to express themselves, without being recorded.
Then there’s also GDPR: it’s against data protection regulations to record and share events without the permission of ALL participants.
You’ll get a completely comprehensive Yoga Nidra manual – so if you miss a session or want to repeat something after the course – no worries! Everything is in the manual!
You’re also very welcome to repeat the whole online course with another group whenever you like, for just an admin fee: £50 in total!
There’s also the option to buy pre recorded content if you want to review any of the sessions in your own time.
