The Future of Yoga Teacher Training
Throughout this yoga teacher training, we’ll investigate how our bodies move, how we respond to stimuli and how we can cultivate an atmosphere of authentic enquiry and exploration. You’ll be encouraged to gain a clear understanding of how you move and how you can share that knowledge with all those who practice with you, to create new, healthier approaches to living and moving.

Transform your practice - Step into your calling as a Yoga Teacher
Why Choose IYTT
Our yoga training course looks at yoga from an anatomical perspective and actively encourages trainees to question what we are doing in yoga and why.
“For too long” says Catherine Annis, who created the course in 2015 “yoga practitioners have been encouraged to follow the guidance of their teachers without asking the important questions of why this? What’s the benefit? How do we know?”
“I believe that the best teachers have a fundamentally curious nature and are always exploring” says Catherine. “We encourage our trainees to keep asking questions and research everything for themselves. Never accept someone’s word for it, just because they’re standing at the front of the room”.
She designed the course in response to requests for more thorough and practical anatomical knowledge from the yoga community.
This Yoga Teacher Training is for You if:
• You want to gain the necessary skills and certification to become a qualified yoga teacher
• You are an existing yoga teacher looking to further develop your skills
• You are a wellness professional and want to learn more about yoga

Supportive Mentoring
We believe in supporting all trainees throughout their yoga teacher training and beyond.

We have created a mentoring program for all trainees which includes structured 1:1 mentor meetings and group supervision meetings facilitated by the leading yoga teachers and there is an active Alumni programme.
Each module is supported by two teaching assistants who are both recent IYTT graduates. Our assistant teachers are available to offer advice and support throughout the course.
At the end of each yoga teacher training programme, there will be opportunities for two graduates to join the teaching team as teaching assistants. This is a valuable chance to review the training from the other side, and to work closely with the teaching team, learning how to hold space and deliver a teacher training programme first hand.
