The Yoga Scotland teacher training is a part-time course lasting for 500 hours over two years. At present we run two courses - in Edinburgh and Glasgow starting alternate years

Students explore a practical and theoretical syllabus that covers: anatomy and physiology (including common medical conditions), pranayama, history and philosophy of yoga and class management.

The teacher-training course is structured to give prospective Yoga Teachers:

Graduates are awarded the Yoga Scotland Teaching Diploma. The diploma is currently recognised in Scotland and throughout the United Kingdom by agreement with the British Wheel of Yoga with whom we have an exchange diploma arrangement.

The main prerequisite is that you have been attending a yoga class for a minimum of two years, although you are strongly advised to take our Foundation Course, or the Foundation Course offered by one of the Yoga Scotland accredited organisations before applying.

If you have practised for under two years your application for a place on a training course is very unlikely to be successful.

The next course will be starting in Edinburgh in September 2010. Applications and information are available now

The closing date for applications is 14th May 2010. Interviews will be held in the Craiglockhart Campus of Napier University, Edinburgh on 3/4 July 2010.
