How to become a Hatha yoga teacher in 200 hours

There are different ways to become a yoga coach or instructor and each individual can go about it in different ways. Some people take years to build up their own experiences and skills before deciding that its time for them to pass on the knowledge and benefits to others. However, it is also possible to take a more direct approach in the form of an intensive 12-month course, which allows you to qualify within 200 hours so long as you are willing to commit. Such a course is offered by Seasonal Yoga Teacher Training and is made up of 12 modules all focusing on different areas of practical and theoretical yoga.

The unique aspect of this course is that is utilises the seasons and draws on the different types of energy that we each posses at different times of year. By learning how to recognise the types and flow of our energy we can know how to use it most positively and beneficially. Chinese and Indian aspects and traditions are included in the course and students will also learn how to use and teach yoga for specific purposes such as weight loss and medical issues.

International Diploma for Teaching Seasonal Yoga

Seasonal Yoga brings Seasonal Living back to life! 

The SYYT (Seasonal Yoga Teacher Training London) organization is an independent organization that strives on its high standard and the way in which it connects its students with nature and their own true selves.

Everyone who attends this year long course will benefit from the program. By combining the understanding of Chinese energy with the time honored techniques of Yoga, we aim to match your everyday life experiences with yoga and the world around you. What this means is that we realize that your practice will change with the seasons and when it is cold and you are working long hours in winter you will have less energy than in the summer. Our course is set up to look into your personal habits such as your diet, mindset, lifestyle, and energy, allowing us to help you use the tools you have most efficiently. As well as the practical side of yoga, we cover the philosophy behind it and that of medication, allowing you to really get to grips with these complex ideas. We are there to help you every step of the way with classes and meetings as well as monthly modules, assisting you ever step of the way with beneficial changes. 

We understand that no two Yoga teachers are alike, and that in order to get the most out of Yoga you will need to understand your own passion for it. We therefore do not try to create one teacher from our own image, but help you develop your own individual teaching style by using our tools. We also realize that not everyone who attends out course does so to become a teacher; many of our students simply want to further develop their journey with Yoga.
