In February 2023 we are super excited to be launching our first Hybrid online /in person 200hour TT
​
40% theory and post course mentoring development online
​60% Practical Content and Teaching Practise in Person :)

We are fully aware that Cornwall is a long way to travel and also that much of any teacher training is theory based and can be delivered just as easily online - as we did with some sessions during COVID. Bearing this in mind we have found what we think is a really nice balance of online work in winter and coming together for two extended periods in June and July when Cornwall is at its best.

Yoga Like Water:
​Teacher Training and Immersion Course​
 ​ I find that many people want to deepen their practice but feel that a teacher training is the only way to go about it, which isn't true. The reality is that there is a glut of yoga teachers, many of them have very little experience of self-practice and half empty classes.  Simply wanting a teaching qualification as a means to make extra money is a very poor motivation for taking this course.  However I do understand that many people will sensibly want to add this option at the same time as delving deeper into their own journey.

The 'Yoga Like Water' courses provide a deep immersion into yoga for yogis, existing teachers or those wishing to teach with a much deeper understanding of yoga. It encourages self discovery, inner exploration as well as pushing the boundaries of understanding your existing physical and spiritual practice. We want you to discover your own path in yoga, not simply take on someone else's ideas and pass them on. The course offers a very 'hands on' approach. You will be encouraged to get involved, offer your own opinions and develop your own style of practice and teaching right from the start. If you are happy with not being spoon fed other peoples ideas and beliefs then this might well be the course for you!
 
We have never believed that a piece of paper can qualify anyone to teach yoga to others. Any qualification can never replace your own dedicated self practice and understanding of yoga-after all if you don't understand your own practice how can you expect to  help anyone else understand theirs? For those that want to facilitate the yoga journey of others afterwards, we offer a simultaneous, recognized 'Yoga Like Water' teaching qualification. You will not be restricted to any style or method of teaching, in fact we want you to develop your own style as a yoga 'guide' and moreover we want you to encourage others to follow their own inner teachers as well.  

Course Format

True to our ideals it is of no particular yoga style; not affiliated to any one organisation or association.
The course will cover all the basics of the eight limbs of yoga, yet will also go much deeper and incorporate a wide variety of teachers,passionate about their particular field of expertise. From specialists in various fields of yoga from breath to partner work, through to physiology, anatomy and mindfulness meditation instructors. Our aim is that everyone on the close will explore yoga for themselves and take with them what most people would class as advanced teaching skills, but what we consider to be the fundamental skills of a good teacher or practitioner.

Regardless of whether you choose the residential or year long option. the format is the same:
  • the first part of the course sets out to deepen you understanding of all elements of yoga and to encourage you top develop a passion for your own practice, only then will you eb able to understand anyone elses.
  • the second part of the course explores further teaching skills allowing you to apply your well grounded understanding to a class environment,

​Yoga Like Water is without doubt one of the UK's most groundbreaking yoga teacher trainings right now. Approaching the way 
that yoga is taught and practiced from an entirely new angle, we believe that there should be no separation between 'yoga' and 
​life. 

Expect to explore the eight limbs of yoga from every angle imaginable:
  • breathing from traditional pranayama, free-diving techniques & Russian Systema;
  • physical movement from  sources as diverse as asana, Qi Gong, parkour &  movement training  
  • the mind from yoga nidra, meditation, attention deconcentration & slacklining;
  • and philosophy courtesy of Patanjali, Buddhism, mental training for rock climbers & Krishnamurti.

This liberated approach to practice and teaching attracts both new and existing teachers to an ever expanding tribe of truly inspiring 
'yoga facilitators' whose only passion is to spread this freedom of exploration to their students.
