Becoming a yoga teacher with The Mindful Yoga School is an invitation to embody and share the art of presence. 

At its heart, Mindful Yoga  emphasises weaving mindfulness philosophy and techniques into every aspect of the practice. Whether you’re flowing through asanas (postures), engaging in pranayama (breathwork), or finding stillness in meditation, the physical body, breath, and mind become anchors for awareness.

A Mindful Yoga class honours diversity in practice, drawing from a blend of styles including hatha, vinyasa, yin, and restorative yoga. This dynamic approach allows for adaptive sequencing to suit a variety of practitioners, while remaining grounded in mindfulness principles.

The sequencing of a Mindful Yoga class can incorporate postures and aspects of many various yoga styles including hatha, vinyasa, yin and restorative yoga.

Beyond mastering yoga’s rich history, philosophy, and facilitation techniques, this program invites you to reconnect with your unique essence. You’ll be lovingly guided to teach from a place of authenticity, blending your individuality with the timeless wisdom of yoga traditions that have inspired practitioners for thousands of years.

This is more than training—it's a journey of self-discovery and a pathway to becoming a teacher who truly embodies the spirit and roots of yoga.

Expand Your Presence

Immerse yourself into the holistic way of yoga, bringing more presence and purpose into everything else you do in life. Many undertake this program solely for their own personal development rather than to officially teach. 

Make a Difference

A yoga teacher holds space for others to come to their own self-realisations. This is an incredible way to have an impact on the lives of others, on a very deep and meaningful level. Whether you choose to do this program for your own personal development, or you have intentions to create a thriving yoga business afterwards, you'll be contributing to a better world.

Be YOU!

Learn to teach yoga in a way that allows your own uniqueness to confidently shine through, while still upholding the classical teachings of yoga.

This is a journey of the Self, through the self, to the Self - a powerful place to extract clarity on your own deepest values and life truths. 

"The whole experience of completing my Yoga Teacher Training was beyond amazing. The way the course is structured and delivered was perfect. So much support and genuine compassion for the different ways we all learn. I did my research prior to the course which did take years before finding Erin and I can't recommend this course more highly."
