The best way to know if you like our way of teaching is to take our FREE CLASSES. They’re shorter than our classes during this training but you’ll definitely get a feel for who we are and how we teach.

If you’re someone who likes a strong, creative practice, like to try new poses and transitions, like to get challenged on the mat - you’re gonna like it :)

If you’re into a more gentle yoga we’re probably not a good match.

Feel free to get in touch and we can set up a call, we’d love to chat and figure out if this trainign is a good fit for you: info@inspiroyoga.com

In this 50-hour training, we’ll explore different approaches to creating creative and intelligent Vinyasa Flow sequences, including progressive (also called ladder) flow, peak pose planning, and half and full mandala sequencing.

You’ll learn how to build classes with intention, explore different sequencing structures, and develop more confidence in creating your own unique flows.

You’ll also have opportunities to practise sequencing, receive feedback and refine your teaching approach throughout the training.

If you have any further questions about the program, feel free to reach out, we’d love to connect.

The amount we cover will depend a little on the group, but hands-on adjustments are an important part of this training.

We’ll explore the principles behind offering safe, supportive and intentional adjustments, including what to consider when using touch, how to communicate through your hands, and how to adapt your approach to different bodies.

We’ll practise adjustments in many different poses across all asana families, including Sun Salutation A and key postures commonly found in Vinyasa Flow classes. While it’s not possible to cover every single asana, you’ll build a strong foundation that you can apply throughout your teaching.

A big part of the training is practical — you’ll have plenty of opportunities to practise giving hands-on adjustments, with feedback from fellow teachers and guidance from the lead trainers.

No, this is a standalone 50-hour Continuing Education training registered with Yoga Alliance (YACEP).

It is designed for yoga teachers who want to deepen their practice, expand their teaching skills and gain fresh inspiration, but it is not part of a larger 300-hour teacher training program.

The 50 hours can be used as Continuing Education hours for teachers who are already registered with Yoga Alliance.

You’ll receive a 50-hour Continuing Education certificate (YACEP) with Yoga Alliance upon completion of the training. This means the training can be registered as continuing education hours for yoga teachers who are already certified with Yoga Alliance.

To complete the training, you’ll be required to teach a final class incorporating the elements explored throughout the week. You’ll receive feedback and guidance as part of the process, and the certificate will be issued once the final teaching assessment has been completed and approved.

The certificate recognises your participation in the full 50-hour immersion, including the practices, workshops, sequencing labs and teaching elements.

Let’s have a chat!

First and foremost, this immersion is designed for yoga teachers. However, if you’ve practised with us before and/or have a steady practice and feel called to join for the retreat experience, this may be possible.

You’ll be invited to take part in the daily morning practices, meditation, pranayama and evening Yin/restorative sessions, while the teacher workshops, teaching labs and certification process are reserved for training participants.

Send us an email at info@inspiroyoga.com and we’ll explore the best option for you.
