If you've been practicing yoga regularly for at least 2 years (ideally with a teacher) and are interested to learn and experience more of the depth and breadth of yoga, plus learn how to create a home yoga practice, the Foundation Course is for you. This 60 hour course also offers a wonderful opportunity for personal development and friendship.

The course is also recommended for those who are thinking about training to become a yoga teacher in the future too. 

The course will include practice, discussion, talks/presentations, journaling and reflection based around Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga. We will be looking more deeply at postures, breath and breath control practices, mudras, relaxation and meditation. We will also discuss yoga history, yoga schools and traditions and yoga philosophy. 

There is no formal homework but there will be pre-reading for each session and you will be encouraged and supported to develop a home yoga practice and keep a journal. You’ll receive handouts on most aspects of the course too.
