Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
BEST YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN THE WORLD!
The world is increasingly recognising what yoga has embraced for centuries, pointing towards a future where:
• Health is personal
• The body is an ecosystem, not a machine.
• Prevention outweighs intervention
• Stillness is healing, not a pause
This isn't just theory; it's future-ready medicine grounded in lived experience. While the global wellness industry explores AI, longevity science, and precision care, yoga provides something even more profound: coherence. It's a system that prioritises the individual, values rhythm over haste, and addresses the nervous system before a diagnosis. Yoga is not merely an alternative; it's an anchor, and its relevance is more vital than ever.
Our 1800-hour Advanced Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training (equivalent to Adv Dip of Therapeutic Yoga Teaching 11335NAT CRICOS 117862D) is designed to equip you with advanced skills for leading and managing yoga health services. This course will enable you to become a senior yoga teacher, capable of teaching diverse age groups and individuals with special needs.
