We are so excited to be offering our 7th Yoga Teacher Training this October. As with all of our trainings we only offer 12 places as we thrive on teaching smaller more intimate groups to deliver and support our learners in the best poissible way. Our Yoga Teacher training course offers an amazing opportunity for students to grow and develop together into Yoga Teachers over the period of a full years training, this course will finish in September 2019. We pride ourselves with offering a fully supported and friendly, open community. We have 20 face to face training days where we learn with Senior Yoga Teachers Helena Bingham, Philip Xerri, Dr Neelam Taneja and other excellent guest teachers. We cover Classical Hatha Yoga diving into Yoga Philosophy with Dr Neelam Taneja and detailed Pranayama with Philip Xerri. Helena is the main tutor offering 20 years of experience, Helena is a grounded and open teacher allowing each individual course to develop organically over the year. Helena teaches Spiritual Nutrition on the course as this is her passion as a Naturopathic Nutritionist. Anatomy and Physiology is detailed and there is an exam at Level 3 which is taken early on in the course. This offers essential underpinning knowledge to then move forwards into the mechanics of teaching Yoga. During the year there is lots of opportunity to teach and for the exam you will be assessed on a full hour + long class. You are also required to complete a learner portfolio covering questions on Yoga Philosophy and fundamental knowledge of this amazing art. Please get in touch with any questions. Helena teaches classes in Peterborough so please come along to meet her in person. Sat Nam

Jambo Dragon Mentorship I am SO EXCITED to announce this Mentorship that is a fusion of Forrest Yoga, Forrest-Inspired Yoga, Bodywork and Hands on Assists. It has been a long time coming and I have been busy collecting information to create something that suits the requests that have been shared with me. This training is open to teachers from ANY tradition, and practitioners who want to deepen their practise. Each day will consist of: Yoga Ceremony including Meditation and Setting Intent. This is a very powerful part of the day and a place where we can all step into the magick that we believe to exist in the world. The morning will be a Forrest Yoga Inspired class consisting of the classical Forrest Yoga poses with modifications and cues that bring more feelings and experiences to poses. You will have the opportunity to feel how anatomy, modern day biomechanics and learning how to hold space that positively influences the anatomy, physiology and psycho-spirituality of our students. Afternoons are spent in processes to deepen your sensitivity to touch, seeing and feeling energy. This leads to proficient hands on assists. Learn how to make any yoga sequence feel like a bodywork session! These sessions lead onto teaching practises where we refine sequencing skills, presentation coaching and how to see the class through a different lens. This Mentorship is a combination of how I understand Forrest Yoga and how we can adapt the practise to include our own unique gifts as well as understand the application of our passions for our students. It will consist of 4 x 4 days 6 months apart with 2 additional discounted workshops of your choice to be included each year. I am[...]
