Whilst this course is aimed as a refresher for yoga teachers, you don’t need any previous yoga experience, or any special equipment – simply show up with your body and your breath (and maybe a notebook to make notes on your learnings) and I’ll guide you through the rest. The practical yoga and breathwork classes are designed at an open level, meaning that they can be done by complete beginners or more experienced yoga practitioners. Different options are provided for postures in the yoga class, depending on your experience level and your own personal body.
