Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ’s

Am I ready to be a Yoga Teacher?

Embarking upon the path of becoming a Yoga Teacher entails a journey that extends beyond the aspiration to instruct others; it is, in essence, a profound voyage of self-discovery and personal growth. The skills you will gain are highly transferable and supportive in many aspects of life, from learning how to manage your own energy levels, to listening and tuning in to what is really going on. Many students feel that they are not worthy to start on this deep inner journey, they simply don’t know how. This is actually an incredibly powerful place to begin: simply taking one step at a time, together – and enjoying the process of nurturing yourself and growing as you do. You will be supported throughout this transformative process, which paves the way for the essential inner work that is necessary. Along this path, you will find yourself embraced by a kind, accepting and like-minded community, a collective who are bound by a shared passion for yoga (particularly Ashtanga) and a commitment to mutual growth. Rest assured, you are more than prepared to embark on this journey, and the collective strength of this community will be your guide, offering kind words, feedback, and unwavering encouragement. We look forward to sharing your journey with you!

What style of Yoga do you teach?

Our practice is anchored in the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system, starting with the Primary Series. This particular framework serves as an invaluable compass for our journey, offering a solid foundation from which we can embark on an exploration of diverse yoga styles. We reflect and explore a rich tapestry of other yoga traditions to help create an anchor, this means exploring the fluidity of Vinyasa to the dynamism of Power Yoga, the poise of Hatha, and the introspective tranquility of Yin. Amidst this exploration, we also recognize the significance of equilibrium and restoration, acknowledging the complementary role of practices such as Restorative Yoga in sustaining the integrity of the Ashtanga system. In essence, our yoga journey is a harmonious fusion of tradition and evolution, guided by the wisdom of Ashtanga, while embracing the broader spectrum of yoga modalities.

What is the required course attendance? What happens if I need to miss a session?

A 90% attendance is required for all classes. We understand that sometimes the universe has other plans. We request students let us know ASAP, so we organise catch-up sessions in your own time (this will usually be with a recording of the session). All missed sessions have to be made up in some way for you to graduate from the course.

What assessments are involved in this Teacher Training?

Over the course of the training, trainees are required to write a number of pieces on what yoga is, to learn to draw and articulate a sun salute. Student teachers are required to learn how to use Sanskrit appropriately in class, which will be practiced and assessed throughout. Similarly, trainees will practice regularly how to observe, adjust and modify asana, for different student needs, injuries and more. They are required to demonstrate these skills with a final test that will ask them to teach with both verbal direction and physical adjustment various asanas to students with and without injuries.

Is there any ongoing support or continued education?

Continuing education is really valuable for additional learning, support, inspiration, and to keep you in contact with your teachers and peers. It’s also a requirement of continuing membership of many yoga associations, including Yoga Alliance if you choose to join.

LoveYoga offers regular retreats, workshops and & specialist trainings for ongoing support after your training.

All of these can count toward your continued learning and some towards your next level of Teacher Training if you are registered with Yoga Alliance. See each individual program for more information.

Our Newsletter is also a great way to stay in contact with your teachers and fellow classmates to continue to stay in the loop.

What qualification will I gain?
