The 100-hour course is often selected by students as their initial programme in their yoga studies. It will give those who choose to take further lessons in yoga or even further teacher training a good foundation to build on.
In this course students learn to:
By the end of the course, students get knowledge and practice and increase their understanding of the traditional science of yoga.
Lessons are carefully structured to give a balanced introduction to the practical and the theoretical aspects of yoga. Students are taught how to practise yoga and the reason behind the yoga practices which have been used for thousands of years.
Asana practice is an integral component of training. Pupils learn proper posture, body control, synchronisation of breathing and safety procedures.
This training is focused on:
Basically, where practice slowly builds up strength, flexibility, balance, and that broader sense of being “inside” your own body.
Pranayama is one of the most essential parts of traditional yoga. Students are introduced to breathing techniques that help regulate the flow of energy, improve mental focus, and create a sense of inner balance. Through conscious breath control, practitioners develop greater clarity, relaxation, and awareness.
By practising Pranayama regularly, students experience improvements in both physical and mental well-being. It enhances lung capacity, reduces stress, strengthens concentration, and builds a strong foundation for deeper meditation practices.
Meditation and Mindfulness help cultivate a calm, focused, and balanced state of mind. Throughout the course, students learn practical meditation techniques that enhance self-awareness, improve emotional well-being, and develop the ability to remain present in daily life.
With regular meditation practice, students develop greater inner peace, enhanced focus, and emotional resilience. As confidence grows, these mindfulness techniques naturally become a part of everyday life, supporting personal growth and overall well-being.
Yoga Philosophy helps students understand the deeper purpose of yoga beyond physical postures. Throughout the course, students explore the ancient wisdom, principles, and teachings that form the foundation of a yogic lifestyle, encouraging self-discovery and holistic personal growth.
These teachings provide a deeper understanding of yoga as a complete system for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, inspiring students to integrate yogic values into their everyday lives.
A fundamental understanding of human anatomy enables students to practise yoga safely, effectively, and with greater awareness. This section explains how the body moves during yoga and highlights the importance of proper alignment to maximize benefits while minimizing the risk of injury.
By learning the basics of anatomy, students develop a better understanding of how yoga affects the body, improve posture and alignment, and build a strong foundation for safe and mindful practice.
This introductory module familiarizes students with the fundamental principles of teaching yoga. Although the course focuses primarily on personal practice, students also gain valuable insights into effective teaching techniques, class management, and clear communication skills that build confidence for future instruction.
These teaching fundamentals help students develop confidence, improve their instructional abilities, and gain a deeper appreciation for creating safe, supportive, and engaging yoga classes.
The daily learning experience is carefully designed to provide a balanced combination of theory, practical training, self-reflection, and interactive discussions. Each day allows students to strengthen their practice while gradually building a deeper understanding of the yogic lifestyle.
This well-structured curriculum ensures that students receive equal exposure to practical experience and theoretical knowledge, creating a strong foundation for continued growth in their personal yoga journey.
