Yoga Teacher Training

Our Yoga course offers a unique Teacher Training and is available in Hastings and Norwich. Vanda Scaravelli inspired an approach to Yoga that encourages you to ‘undo the doing’.  Whatever your experience of Yoga may be, we can support you to use gravity and the wave of the breath to ‘awaken’ your spine, your body, your mind and your spirit.

We are accepting applications for an October intake but due to Covid 19 we may need to change our start date,  for the latest update please visit   Yoga Teacher Training

Attention to the breath, to the connection to the ground, to alignment of the spine and flow of energy in the body, all resonate throughout the art and science of both Yoga and Shiatsu. The Shiatsu College has been teaching these arts for 30 years and we can provide you with the tools to teach your own Yoga. At the same time, you will learn Yoga according to the philosophy of Scaravelli, explore the meridian system and its relationship to Yoga and discover the latest developments in the understanding of human energetics.

What will I learn?

• Footprints of Yoga, knowledge and practice – the philosophical roots of Yoga and the building blocks of energy work
• Anatomy of the energy body – postural alignment and the breath
• The power of breath – how the breath can lead to infinite discoveries in your practice.
• Matrix of Meridians – learn how Yoga asanas relate to the meridians and their functions

• Tranquility in Movement: the Yin and Yang of Yoga – learn how to strengthen the core with more complicated poses, balances and sequences.
• The Practice of Teaching – consolidates the teaching aspect of the course
