Gertrude Street Yoga’s 200 hour Yoga Alliance registered Teacher Training is an invitation to step beyond your comfort zone and challenge yourself; inspiring your development as a yoga teacher and as an individual. This comprehensive 200 hour training that we have run for the past 8 years provides the foundational tools to become a yoga teacher, including yoga philosophy, physical and energetic anatomy, asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra and voice, personal development, as well as plenty of teaching methodology and practice. Taking this journey with a group of people who have come together for the purpose of transformation, education, and discovery creates a powerful connection and inspired community, which is at the heart of GSY and our approach to yoga. Not only will this training prepare you to be a confident and authentic yoga teacher, but it will also provide you with a powerful platform to dive deeper into your own journey of living the practice of yoga.

 

“This course will stretch you in ways you never imagined. A truly life-changing experience, and so much more than just a teacher training course. The content and delivery was extraordinary. The teachers so generous, knowledgeable and inspiring. Even though I never had the intention to teach, I’m now entertaining the idea and I feel fully equipped to do so.”

Upon completing the course each student has the optional opportunity to sign up to teach the Community Classes which run every Sunday.
