Through teaching practicals, mentorship, business guidance, and an exploration of various teaching aspects, participants will develop their personal teaching style, refine their skills, and build a successful yoga business. Unlock your full potential as a yoga teacher.

Throughout the course, participants will engage in a range of practical teaching exercises that focus on refining their instructional techniques. These teaching practicals offer a safe and supportive environment for students to experiment with different teaching styles, receive constructive feedback, and develop their personal voice as a yoga teacher. By the end of the course, participants will have gained the necessary tools and confidence to lead dynamic and engaging yoga classes.

The course also includes valuable insights into building a thriving yoga business. In addition, they will receive private mentorship from experienced instructors who will provide personalised guidance tailored to each participant's unique goals and aspirations.

Understanding the psychology behind breathwork, mindfulness, and the anatomy of the human body is essential for any yoga teacher. In this course, participants will explore the principles of breathwork and mindfulness practices, as well as delve into the anatomical aspects relevant to yoga practice. This knowledge will enable instructors to guide their students safely and effectively, with a profound understanding of the physical and mental benefits of yoga.

By addressing the challenges and unique needs of beginners, participants will develop the ability to create a solid foundation for their students' yoga journey.

To enrich participants' teaching experience, the course will emphasise a creative and informed approach to asana, encouraging instructors to explore and incorporate a variety of styles and modifications into their classes.

  • Best decision

    Doing the 200 YTT was one of the best decisions I've made. A truly transformational personal journey. I learnt so much, not only in terms of the content material, but everything in between. Cait's presence, energy, patience, understanding and empathy was incredible and created a safe space to explore the various aspects of yoga philosophy and one's own inward journey. This training is a platform for personal growth and I highly recommend anyone looking for something "more" (even if you don't yet know what it is) to do this. I am immensely grateful for the generosity, kindness and humility I've encountered (from Cait and the wonderful group of ladies who did the training with me) and just want to again say Thank You!

  • Life changing!

    Cait not only lead us all on a magical journey of growth and expansion but she showed us what selflessness, compassion, unconditional love, and acceptance looks like. She is a beautiful Human being and Im immensely grateful for her boundless knowledge and guidance on this wonderful life changing yoga journey ♡

  • You cannot get a better teacher and space for your 200hr YTT

    Cait is a profound and exceptional teacher, yogini and human. You cannot do better than to start or prolong your yoga journey with Cait. She is effective at leading you down the path in a kind and caring manner that allows you to be you and discover more about yourself without it being uncomfortable or heavy. I was lucky enough to start my Yoga Teacher Training in person with Cait and to be allowed to finish via Zoom. She is caring and considerate and aware that life happens and sometimes we need a break from ourselves and our further learning so that we can come back to it from a different perspective when needed. I am emotional writing this missive as for me the YTT 200hr journey has ended, sadly, but I know our paths will keep crossing in the future...300hr Advanced Teacher Training perhaps :-)

  • Now the teachings of yoga begin

    This training is so much more than just yoga poses or learning how to teach, it includes such indispensable tools and knowledge to assist on this journey called life. Caitlyn, so passionate, thoughtful and understanding, has set out all the coursework in such a fun and intentional way that is extremely easy to follow along live or catchup anytime. Highly recommend for anyone looking to dive deeper into their practice and into themselves! Great support from the lecturers as well as the rest of the women (or men) attending, in the end we have become one big family. Thank you Cait, for bringing so many special people together and sharing your experiences with us.

  • The most magical Yoga Teacher Training

    It has truly been the most incredible 3 months and a journey of unlearning, learning, growing, crying, strength, laughing, sisterhood and yoga. Lots and lots of yoga. And Cait with her beautiful heart - holding space for us with such grace 🤍 It's been an absolute honour to have you as a teacher xxx
