Intermediate to Progressive Intermediate: For those who have completed Level 1 and want to further develop teaching skills and personal practice to the next level. This course deepens and furthers the learning from Level 1 and moves into some of the more subtle and transformative techniques and understandings from the science of yoga.
We recognise that learning may have occurred in a variety of ways. We are also happy to discuss a placement on Level 2 if you have completed another Teacher Training course from a different school or system of yoga.

You learn to practice and teach a broader and more advanced level of asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, meditation, yoga nidra and shatkarmas, as well as deeper studies in the following areas:
  • Dhara Yogasana (flowing yoga)
  • How to use and apply Ayurveda within yoga
  • Yoga Philosophy
  • The four main branches of yoga (Karma - activity, Bhakti - devotion, Raja - meditation, Jnana - knowledge)
  • Specific studies on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient treatise on the spiritual journey and the psychology of mind.
  • Principles and application of tantra and yoga (including prana, gunas, tattwas, nadis, chakras and koshas)
  • Systematic application of deeper meditation techniques.

We emphasise how to present these practices and understandings for full effect and at different levels according to the needs and capabilities of your students.
