28-Day 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
11 March – 7 April 2027
An immersive residential training that begins with your own practice before moving into the art of guiding others.
Explore classical yoga, nervous system-informed practice, anatomy, philosophy and teaching methodology through daily practice, study, observation and supervised teaching.

For those who want to deepen their practice and teach from embodied understanding.
Build an embodied, practice-led foundation for teaching yoga.
Develop a more nervous system-informed and responsive approach to teaching.
Go further into your own practice, even if teaching is not your immediate goal.
Explore classical yoga alongside anatomy, the nervous system and individual experience.

Rather than learning fixed sequences, you learn to observe how breath, movement and attention affect your own body and nervous system.
From there, you learn to adapt yoga to different bodies, capacities and responses — teaching with greater awareness, sensitivity and discernment.

His approach brings together classical yoga, nervous system-informed embodied practice and years of working with students through immersive retreat and teacher training.
