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!

Payment Plan Options

Please ask about Payment plans​

  • What happens if I gall behind or fail an assignment?
    Provided you have maintained your commitment to the process, we will always endeavour to support your progress and help you achieve graduation. We agree a Personal Development Plan to bring you back on track. Support may include, but is not restricted to, ‘mentoring’ by senior teachers, private sessions, additional assignments or workshops and reassessments. Please note, there may be additional fees associated with each of these support methods.
  • I can't imagine that I'll ever be able to stand up and teach in front of a group of students!
    EVERYONE feels like this before they start the training. It’s perfectly normal to feel this way – we haven’t yet taught you the knowledge or given you the skills and experience that help to build your confidence. There is plenty of practice to do this in a safe place with your co-learners. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and refined.
  • What happens if I have to cancel my Teacher Training, or the course is cancelled?
    We make our cancellation and refund policy transparent – You can ask to see The T &C's at any time and you will be sent a copy on your receipt confirmation. Please take time to read this carefully. All attendee's are asked to agree to Sucram Yoga terms and conditions upon booking a course or workshop.
  • Do I need any other certification to teach?
    Most studios and gyms require yoga teachers to have an Accredited Teacher’s Certificate and Liability Insurance. On successful completion of this course, you will be awarded a Sucram Yoga Teacher’s Certificate and be Accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals, as well as having obtained insurance. You will also need a First Aid qualification
  • What happens if I miss a day?
    Each training session is key to the course schedule and the training you will receive. While students can catch up on the content, it isn’t possible to recreate discussions, questions and reflections in the same way as being a part of the group. Therefore, we urge students to attend all sessions unless there are extreme circumstances.  Students must also complete 100% of the contact hours to obtain their Yoga Alliance Accreditation. However, we understand you may not be able to foresee every conflict, and so we have the following contingency in place – If you miss any of the online sessions it may be possible to catch up using the available recordings and successfully pass the course assessments to demonstrate understanding. If you miss a maximum of 2 days: You may still complete the programme provided you schedule a private session(s) or semi-private session with the course tutor. Private sessions must be requested in writing and completed within the course timeline. Private sessions are subject to the course tutor’s availability and will be charged at the rate offered by the teacher. Sucram Yoga reserves the right to change the price of these private sessions at any time. A 3 hour private session equates to one day. The current cost of a 3 hour private session is £195. The maximum number of private make-up sessions is two. If you miss more than 2 days: In this event, the learning has been compromised and you can no longer obtain certification during this intake. You may choose to continue with the course simply for the learning experience. Or if you would like Certification, you will need to retake the programme, at a discounted price.
  • When can I start teaching?
    You will be able to teach private classes of your own while you’re in training, probably made up of family and friends. This ensures that you are fully supported by your teachers while you are learning to teach. It also gives you the opportunity to earn money to cover course fees!
  • Am I suitable for teacher training?
    If you feel that pull, it’s a REALLY good sign! We are looking for serious and committed students with a solid foundation in the basic yoga postures. It is not about having an advanced practice and mastering the tricky poses, but rather a mature practice – knowing your own limits and coming to the mat with a willingness to learn. We ask for around 1-2+ years regular and consistent yoga practice, preferably through class attendance – but we will also consider students with other relevant experience and/or an established home practice of at least 1 year. You will also require a regular yoga teacher to provide a reference to support your application. In addition, some element of self-practice is viewed very favourably.
