Become a Certified Yoga Teacher
Becoming a yoga teacher later in life can be a rewarding journey. While it seem daunting, age is not a barrier to teaching. In fact, older instructors often bring unique perspectives, experience, and wisdom, enhancing their effectiveness.
They are well-equipped to address the emotional and spiritual aspects of yoga, and there is a growing demand for qualified teachers of all ages.
Inspire Positive Change
Some students seek training to enhance their spiritual practice, transition to part-time yoga teaching, or share knowledge through community classes. Age is not a barrier; my journey began in my 40s. Join our 230hr Foundation PLUS Yoga Course to learn to adapt classes for any age using the Chakras. With over 20 years experience, I’ll guide you to teach intuitively and effectively. Together, we’ll explore the depths of yoga and empower you to inspire others as a confident teacher.
Get ready for an exciting new chapter in your career!
