Why Invest in the Course?
The YOGABEYOND® 300hr Yoga Teacher Training Programme delivers a unique blend of ‘traditional’ yoga practice and cutting-edge ‘modern’ breakthroughs. Our training curriculum has been carefully crafted through 30,000+ hours of combined practice and teaching experience to yield a new wave of free-thinking, open-hearted and dogma-free yoga teachers and practitioners.
Our aim is to see your strengths, meet you where you are, and support each student’s unique direction and growth. We want to challenge and educate you to better know yourself as a person and as a teacher, to support your growth and your ability to make sound decisions when teaching yoga to groups or individual students. This unique training will encourage you to investigate the “why” of how you teach, and continually reframe your perception of yoga and practice.

I would recommend this course to any student that wants to deepen their understanding of yoga, not just with the intention of becoming a yoga teacher. I personally have found that the course has brought a completely different layer to my own practice and outlooks on life. If anything, I feel that I have so much more to learn, explore and study than ever before!
