Most people signing up for 200-hour yoga teacher trainings don’t actually want to teach.
They want to understand yoga.
To feel more confident in their body.
To build a practice that actually supports their life.
But instead, they’re sold a path. A path that says“If you want to go deeper, you have to become a teacher.” So people invest time and money learning how to cue, sequence, and lead a class, when what they really want is to understand their own practice.

I don’t think the first step should be teaching.
I think the first step should be becoming a student.
Fully. Properly. Without rushing. Because yoga isn’t something you perform. It’s something you live.
When we create more dedicated students, we raise the standard of teaching itself. That’s why I created this training. This is for people who want to use the techniques of yoga in their own life, in their work, their relationships, their family life. To support their energy, their body, their mind. Not to step into a teaching role.

If you’re reading this and your goal is to become a yoga teacher or change career path, this isn’t the course for you. There are plenty of amazing teacher trainings out there for that. This is for people who want to practice yoga as a student.
(And yes......current teachers are welcome.
Because teachers should always be students first.)
If you’ve been wanting to go deeper, without the pressure to teach.....get in touch ❤️🙏

You can't tell here but I was practicing a loving kindness meditation, I was in an apartment that looked out onto lots of other apartments. People in their homes just doing their thing, I was trying to cultivate a feeling of love kindness and compassion in my own heart and allow that feeling of love and kindness spread out into every home and person around me, did they feel it?

I'll never know!

But id like to think it made a small difference to someones day.
There have been studies done on meditation and the effect it has on people around mediators, the results of this study are of course debated however I choose to believe that all actions have an effect on other no matter how big or small!

We often see Yoga as a selfish activity, working on the self, thats not always the case and you can never tell what someone is practicing by simply looking good at them. They may not even be doing yoga even if they are in a "yoga pose"

"Act without attachment… and for the welfare of the world.” (Bhagavad Gita 3.19–20, paraphrased)

Anyway my point is you do not need a mat to practice yoga, it can be done anywhere anytime without anyone knowing.

We’ve reduced yoga into something that fits into an hour…or a scroll. But yoga was never meant to be consumed that way. It’s something you return to. Something you question. Something you slowly begin to understand through practice, not just information.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing the classes” but still not fully getting it…you’re not alone. You’re just ready to go deeper.

That’s exactly why I created my Yoga Student Training, not to give you more to do, but to help you actually understand what you’re practicing.

Comment “DEEPER” if this resonates

Thank you to all who came to Anú Rising Together last night, such a beautiful way to move into the darker nights, with community & rest.
You can join the next circle on December 14th as we journey towards Winter Solstice.
My biggest takeaway from last night was how important rest is, and how much of a gift it is to the wolrd to show up as a well-rested person. We are nicer people when we are rested!!

My Story

My very first yoga class was 16 years ago, I didn't know much about the practice only that it made me feel good. For years, Yoga was just something I did as a hobby every now and again. Eight years ago it all started to change slowly, so slow I barely noticed my whole life being to turn upside down. It was no coincidence while these changes were happening, I had started a more dedicated Yoga practice. And everything I was learning on the mat started to seep into my life off the mat. I really enjoy all the aspects of yoga and figuring out how to apply these techniques into daily life and by doing so helps me to maintain an all round sense of wellbeing in my life.

In 2014 I attended a yoga retreat in Spain. It was one of the best holidays ever and I learned so much about Yoga and myself. One week of intense yoga, eating healthy and sleeping well, spending a lot of time in nature, really brought my practice and understanding of yoga to the next level.

A few months after that my husband suggested I do teacher training. My first thought was NO WAY!!! I would never have the confidence to stand up in front of a room of people and talk for an hour.

So after some consideration I decided to combine the 2 things I love in life, Yoga and Travel, and I booked a 200hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India. And have never looked back! It was the most amazing experience of my life I had started to learn who I am and what I want from life.
