Your yoga practice is nothing to stress about. We have students of all levels and all walks of life join us for our yoga teacher training (YTT) course. Many students join for different reasons, each one just as valid as the next. It’s not so much about how much preparation goes into your practice before the training, it’s more about making the space during the training for you to absorb as much as possible and to be consistent and dedicated in your approach. That way you really get the most out of your teacher training experience and learn to be truly present in all you do both on and off the mat. This is just the beginning of your journey and our experienced yoga teachers have got your back!

No problem! Our training is carefully designed for those who want to deepen their practice as well as for those students who wish to become yoga teachers themselves.

As a student you will develop your own personal practice, you’ll learn a lot about yoga, you’ll meet epic like minded friends, and you’ll have a deep personal growth and fulfilment. You will receive a teaching certificate at the end, but it is your choice about what you do with it. Maybe you decide to teach or maybe not, just know the choice is completely yours.

You will receive a homework handout at the end of each weekend we meet. The recommended hours of study outside of the assigned weekends are 3 to 5 hours of study per week and working towards practicing yoga, meditation and pranayama (breathwork) every day.

There is written test halfway through the course to check in and see how you are tracking as well as a written and practical test to complete the final weekend together.

100% attendance is preferred however life can sometimes interfere so we have a few strategies to keep you on track!

We implement a buddy system, so if you miss a class your buddy can provide you with notes and any materials.

There is also a private Facebook group we will add you to, which allows you to approach anyone of our team and students in the YTT for help, including our facilitators.

Yes, our Mordialloc studio is a yogi haven! We have lush rain showers, change rooms and toilets. You are welcome to bring a packed lunch or there are plenty of yummy places to eat and drink nearby on Main St, Mordialloc.

We also provide all the yogi props! Our studio has everything you need including Manduka Pro Mats, bolsters, blankets, Yoga Tune Up Therapy balls and other nifty probs.

You are more than welcome to bring any yoga props / cushions to make each visit as comfortable as possible during the training.

There is free parking within walking distance of the WOY studio and Mordialloc train station is also just a 2 minute walk from the studio.

We hear this a lot and it’s totally normal to feel fearful of signing up to a yoga teacher training! Let’s be honest it is a big leap for many of us.

What we can tell you is yoga is not about touching your toes, it’s what you learn on the way down. You don’t need to be strong or flexible. You just need to have the willingness to learn about the practice, invest the time in yourself and we promise you’ll find a different kind of flexibility and strength on the other side!
