A quick update on our teacher trainings, because there's real news to share.
Our Foundation 200h starts on Sunday 27 September and we have places left. Our Integrative 500h starts the same month for those already qualified. And our Yogic Breath & Yogic Mindfulness 100h with Deepika Giri opens on Saturday 31 October — Early Yogi pricing runs until 31 August.
If you've been thinking about training with us, or you know someone who has — this is the post to read.
Foundation 200h — start your teaching journey
Our classical 200-hour course, rooted in the Sanatan and Gitananda traditions, accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals. Co-taught by Yogachariya Jnandev Giri and Prajnananda (Marcio). For anyone ready to take their practice seriously and step, in time, into teaching.
Format: 9 months, monthly Sundays at the studio plus guided online study, with a two-month break across December and March.
Cohort size: small on purpose — 15 places, so every student gets proper attention.
Starts: Sunday 27 September 2026.
Investment: £2,000 in full, or £500 deposit + 9 monthly payments of £167.
Our first cohort at the studio finishes this month, and several of them are already teaching with us — for real students, in real classes. Watching them step onto the mat as teachers has been one of the most quietly joyful things about this first year at the studio.
If you're on the fence, message the studio on WhatsApp — 07401 101163 — and we'll talk it through. No pressure, no hard sell. Just a proper conversation.
Integrative 500h — Advanced + Therapeutic
For qualified 200h teachers ready to work therapeutically and one-to-one.
A 12-month advanced pathway with Yogachariya Jnandev Giri, in-person Saturday and Sunday weekends at the studio, with a retreat week in Portugal. This is where practice becomes vocation.
Format: in-person weekends plus a residential retreat.
Cohort size: small, hand-picked.
Starts: September 2026.
Investment: £3,600
If you're already teaching and feel the pull to go deeper — to work with real bodies, real conditions, real one-to-one — this is that course. Message us if you want to talk about whether it's right for you now.
Yogic Breath & Yogic Mindfulness 100h — train breath from the source
A 10-month specialist immersion in classical prāṇāyāma and yogic mindfulness with Yogathilakam Deepika Giri, founder of The Yogic Breath and senior mentor in the Gitananda lineage. Prajnananda (Marcio) holds the in-person container and the weekly sādhana between sessions.
Every mindfulness practice in the modern West traces back to yogic breath. This 100h brings you home to the source — the classical prāṇāyāma system of the Gitananda tradition — and shows you how to teach it as yogic mindfulness for today's students.
Format: 14 meeting days over 10 months at the studio in Farnborough — nine two-day weekends plus five single Saturdays. Join in-studio or online. Every session recorded.
Cohort size: 15 places.
Starts: Saturday 31 October 2026, running to Sunday 25 July 2027.
Meeting days:
Sat 31 October 2026 — Foundations (single Saturday)
Sat 21 + Sun 22 November 2026 — Kriyā & Sound

Saturdays 10:00–16:00, Sundays 10:00–14:00. December is a rest month. Between meeting days: a weekly 1hr sādhana on Zoom with Prajnananda, holding your practice steady all year.
Investment:
Early Yogi — £1,600 paid in full by 31 August 2026 (save £200)
Standard — £1,800 paid in full from 1 September 2026
Monthly — £250 deposit + 10 × £180 (£2,050 total)
For those called deeper, the 100h opens into an optional 200h pathway — a two-week residential immersion at The Yogic Breath ashram in Wales, taught by Deepika. Ask us about it when you enrol on the 100h.
No 200h teacher training required to enrol — a steady personal practice and genuine interest in breath and contemplation. A short call confirms the fit.
How to enrol — the honest version
There's no complicated funnel, no discovery-call gatekeeping. Here's what happens:
Message the studio on WhatsApp — 07401 101163 — or email hello@loveyour.studio.
We have a proper conversation about where you are and which course fits.
If it's the right time, you enrol.
If it isn't, we tell you honestly and point you toward what would help.
That's it. No brochures behind email walls, no six-touch nurture sequences. Just talk to us.
For everyone already in conversation
If you've already told us you're interested in one of these — we'll be reaching out personally this week to check in and answer whatever's still on your mind. If you'd rather come to us first, WhatsApp or email us directly.
Thank you for being here. Whether you train with us this year, next year, or not at all — we're glad you're part of the studio.
With love,
LoveYour.Studio (team)
