Kindred Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training

Deepen Your Practice and Inspire Others

This 17-day Yoga Alliance International Certified and Accredited programme covers the ‘Eight Limbs of Yoga’ and includes:

Participation in two Kindred yoga classes most days (with each student gradually progressing to being the teacher of the class).
A theory session each morning (when the brain is at its best).
A practical session, where you will learn how to teach each of the fundamental asanas or postures, each afternoon (when the body is warm and most flexible).
Daily meditation and Pranayama.
A series of workshops such as self esteem and public speaking, anatomy and physiology, Yoga Philosophy and History, sequencing and more.

Participation will cultivate your ability to become an inspiring and skilled teacher. It will also deepen your own practice. The programme is a life-changing opportunity to completely immerse yourself in a daily yoga practice, to connect with like-minded people walking the same path and to deepen your knowledge of anatomy and physiology, the history and philosophy of yoga and, ultimately, yourself.

Each session has two instructors to ensure there's plenty of support, for around 15 participants.

There are no pre-requisites but it desirable that you already have a regular yoga practice or similar. Participants from all over New Zealand are invited – with cheap flights from Auckland and Wellington (and an easy drive from Christchurch) making sunny Nelson more accessible than ever before.

Breakfast and dinner are included in the price. We can assist you in finding affordable accommodation.
