IS YOUR PRACTICE FEELING STAGNANT?

You’ve been going to classes for years. You know the shapes. But you feel there is something more beneath the surface—a depth you can’t quite reach in a 60-minute drop-in class.

The "Old Way" of Learning:

  • Trying to piece together philosophy from 5-minute dharma talks.

  • Moving through poses without understanding the why or the anatomy.

  • Feeling like a student, but wondering if you have what it takes to be a leader.

The This Is Yoga Shift: We don't just teach you how to memorise a sequence. We offer a partnership in your personal evolution. This is a high-touch, immersive mentorship designed to break down your barriers and build up your authentic voice.

Is this you

This training is for you if:

  1. You crave depth.

    You're ready to move beyond the 60-minute class and understand the philosophy, anatomy, and lineage of yoga.

  2. You seek transformation.

    You feel a shift coming and want a supportive, like-minded community to grow with.

  3. You want confidence.

    You want to find your authentic voice, whether for teaching yoga or simply showing up more fully in your life.

Accredited. Practical. Proven.

Tradition meets innovation.

We believe the best teachers are students of both the past and the present. Our curriculum goes beyond memorising shapes to understanding the systems of the body and the spirit.

  1. Ancient wisdom.

    Dive deep into the Yoga Sutras, the subtle body (Chakras, Koshas, Vayus), and the history of the practice.

  2. Modern anatomy.

    Learn safe, sustainable movement mechanics that prevent injury and empower students of all bodies.

  3. The art of teaching.

    We teach you more than what to say. We teach you how to see bodies, how to sequence intelligently, and how to hold space with humility and courage.

Our teachers have trained hundreds of students to become confident yoga instructors, with Yoga Alliance accreditation that’s recognised worldwide. You’ll study by the beach at our Clovelly studio, a light-filled space designed for focus, growth, and connection.

REAL STORIES, REAL GROWTH

“WATCHING EVERYONE BECOME MORE AT EASE WITH THEMSELVES...”

“What I love most about the 200-hour teacher training is meeting the people—understanding why they want to do the training, what's bringing them to yoga, and really just seeing how they evolve and unfold through the whole experience.

Watching everyone become more at ease with themselves and with each other, that's what's really beautiful to see.”

Ari finds his greatest joy in the connections formed during training. He focuses on understanding each student's unique motivation, witnessing their personal evolution as they unfold into confident teachers who are at ease with themselves and their community.

“WE WERE SEVEN STRANGERS...”

“It's not just the poses and postures, it's a philosophy which you can take to everyday life.

We were seven strangers... and we cultivated an environment where we could all learn together. We allowed each other to have a voice. And we shared this journey, which has been a rollercoaster.”

For this student, the training went far beyond the physical practice. It was about the unique bond formed within the group—starting as seven strangers and creating a safe container to find their voices.

The experience became a shared "rollercoaster" of growth, proving that the philosophy learned in the studio is meant to be lived out in the real world.
