Program Overview (What You’ll Study)
Classics & Philosophy
Deepen your relationship with the roots of yoga in a way that feels alive and usable – not just like reading old texts.
You’ll explore the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Hatha classics, and ethical foundations as practical maps for how people suffer, change, relate, and find meaning – in your own life and in the lives of the students and clients you work with.
☞ Yoga Sutras - Kleshas, citta‑vritti, abhyasa and vairagya as practical tools: noticing what drives suffering, how patterns of mind show up in the body and breath, and how steady effort and letting‑go can shape both personal practice and how you support students through change.
☞ Bhagavad Gita - Dharma, karma and bhakti as living questions: how teachers and clients make choices, hold responsibility, relate to service, and find a way of practising that feels meaningful and sustainable in real life (not just on the mat).
☞ Other selected Hatha texts - Classical descriptions of asana, mudra, bandha, pranayama and energetic states – used to inform how you understand methods like kriya, breath ratios, stillness, and “building heat” in a way that is grounded, safe, and relevant to modern bodies and nervous systems.
☞ Ethics and boundaries - Applying yamas/niyamas plus contemporary ethics: consent, power dynamics, scope of practice, referrals, and clear boundaries in 1:1 and group settings, so your teaching is both therapeutically effective and emotionally safe for you and your clients.
Advanced Practice & Sequencing
Deepen your own practice while learning to design a diverse range of classes – from chair‑based and restorative to dynamic vinyasa – so you can meet the needs of real communities and workplaces, not just repeat the same sequence each week. This includes the kind of variety and inclusion studios like LoveYour.Studio, community spaces, and organisations increasingly expect from senior teachers.
☞ Asana lab - Break down postures and sequences into their component actions, so you can regress and progress shapes for different levels, injuries, and stages of recovery – including chair‑based and more supported options.
☞ Breath‑centric practices - Explore ways of teaching where breath leads movement, pacing and attention, helping you adapt sequences for grounding, activation, focus, or emotional regulation.
☞ Restorative and somatic approaches - Work with slower, more attentive practices that support down‑regulation, interoception, and nervous system recovery – especially useful for pain, burnout, anxiety and trauma‑sensitive settings.
☞ Sequencing in diverse styles - Learn to design clear, purposeful flows across styles – from slow mindful and hatha to more dynamic vinyasa – always with a therapeutic rationale rather than just “harder” choreography.
☞ Pranayama progressions, mudra and bandha - Build safe progressions in breathwork and subtle techniques, with a clear sense of indications, contra‑indications, and how they impact different conditions and personalities.
☞ Yoga nidra and relaxation protocols - Develop structured relaxation and nidra scripts that support specific intentions (sleep, pain management, stress recovery, emotional processing), and learn how to hold those spaces safely for individuals and groups.
Therapeutic Frameworks
You’ll be introduced to simple yogic maps that help you understand where a student’s experience is landing – in the body, breath, emotions, behaviour, or deeper meaning – so you can choose practices that genuinely support them rather than guessing.
☞ Pancha kosha (maps) – Learn to notice whether a student’s needs are showing up mainly through the body, breath and energy, thoughts and emotions, or deeper meaning‑making, and choose the right starting point.
☞ Chakra and nadi language – Use simple, grounded chakra themes and energy‑flow metaphors to understand patterns like safety, boundaries, grief, and expression, without slipping into diagnosis or dogma.
☞ Prana vayu awareness – Observe how breath quality and direction affect steadiness, vitality, grounding, and emotional regulation, and offer small breath and movement adjustments to support regulation.
☞ Working with the gunas – Recognise when someone needs more activation, more calming, or more balance, and adapt pacing, postures, and breath to meet them where they are.
Applied Anatomy & Science
Deepen your confidence in working with real bodies and real-life conditions, using anatomy, pain science, and nervous system research in a way that still feels like yoga.
☞ Spine, shoulder & hip complexes – Understand common patterns, injuries and postural habits so you can adapt poses and transitions safely for different bodies.
☞ Pain science essentials – Learn up‑to‑date, bio‑psycho‑social principles of pain so you avoid nocebo language and help students build safer, more trusting relationships with movement.
☞ Nervous system regulation – Explore how stress responses show up in posture, breath and behaviour, and how to use practice to support down‑regulation and resilience.
☞ Sleep, fatigue & stress – Work with simple, repeatable protocols that support rest, recovery and everyday functioning for busy, burnt‑out or anxious students.
☞ Breath mechanics – Refine your understanding of diaphragmatic breathing, pressure, and pacing so you can use breath as a precise tool rather than a generic instruction to “breathe”.
Teaching & Client Work
This strand helps you grow into a grounded, professional teacher who can hold space for real people over time – in group classes, themed retreats, and 1‑to‑1 sessions – with clear structures, boundaries and support around you.
☞ Assessment & intake – Learn how to prepare, ask good questions, and use simple forms so you understand a client’s history, needs and boundaries before you step on the mat together.
☞ Goal‑setting – Practise co‑creating clear, realistic aims with your clients, so sessions feel focused and progress is easier to notice and celebrate.
☞ Red flags & referrals – Get clear on what sits outside a yoga scope of practice, how to spot red flags, and how to refer on or collaborate with other professionals.
☞ Session planning & documentation – Develop simple structures for planning, note‑taking and review that support continuity of care without turning yoga into paperwork.
☞ Case studies & supervised clinics – Integrate everything you’ve learned by working with real or simulated clients, with feedback and support as you go.
☞ Scope of practice – Get clear on what yoga can and cannot offer, so you stay within your lane while collaborating well with healthcare and mental‑health professionals.
☞ Mentoring & supervision – Learn how to use supervision, peer support and mentoring to stay resourced, reflective and accountable over the long term.
☞ Pricing & packages – Explore practical ways to price classes, 1‑to‑1s, programmes and retreats so they are accessible, sustainable and aligned with your values.
☞ Outreach to GPs/therapists – Practise how to introduce your work to GPs, counsellors and other professionals, and how to communicate clearly about referrals and joint care.
☞ Safeguarding & documentation – Understand key safeguarding principles and how simple records, policies and boundaries keep you and your students safe.
☞ Proposals for workshops, courses & retreats – Learn to write clear, compelling proposals with defined outcomes, audiences and costings for studios, workplaces and partner venues.

Testimonials
Training in sanatan yoga was a powerful experience in my life. The course goes beyond the physical movements in hatha yoga and gives greater awareness which is built on a solid foundation and is respectful of the traditional yoga lineage.
I have really happy memories and looked forward to each weekend. The ripple effects of this course have continued and I am grateful to my teachers and for the friendships I made.
