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.

You will also be expected to begin personal practice in your every day life, and this can include energy flow work, meditation, yoga asanas, pranayama, or something as simplistic as learning to breathe deeply whist you are driving you car; what you choose to do will depend on your lifestyle and what suits you best.

During the year you will also be expected to read in order to gain further insight into what you are learning.

Our History

Seasonal yoga training for teachers has been carried out since 2003 in the Chi yoga school in Glasgow and London, Julie Hanson being the co director and Sue Woodd being the senior lecturer. As it became more popular there was need for a training course which would allow for the subject to be covered in more depth. 

The training of seasonal yoga teaching evolved when Sue, Julie, and Marit Griffith joined parties in 2010. They brought together their experience in not just yoga but in Pranayama, meditation, teaching skills, and Chinese medicine in order to provide the 200 hour Yoga Alliance course.
Over the years more than 250 students have been trained in Seasonal yoga. Seasonal yoga brings together the balance between health and yoga in Western cultures. There are now five locations in the U.K and Europe where you can study to become a teacher of seasonal yoga. 

A SYTT 500 hour Yoga Alliance course will begin in 2016 & an affiliate Seasonal Teacher Training program that is open to Yoga studio owners will start in 2014.
