A Rich Training Experience
Rooted in 25 years of yoga teaching and lifelong learning across health, movement and mindfulness, Wisdom in Motion is a Yoga Alliance Professionals accredited 230-hour programme designed especially for those aged 40 and over. It’s for anyone navigating a life shift—whether you’re entering a new chapter, changing career, feeling called to share yoga, or looking to deepen your own practice or enrich your work in healthcare or holistic wellbeing.
This training honours yoga as a holistic practice that nourishes body, mind and spirit. You’ll explore how yoga can support life’s deepening phase and beyond—integrated into daily life, shared in meaningful ways, and adapted to real-world needs.
Blending Hatha yoga with inclusive, evidence-informed approaches, the course supports you to teach with clarity, creativity and compassion. You’ll be guided to grow in confidence, draw from your own life experience, and develop your own authentic teaching voice.
Delivered in a hybrid format, the training combines monthly Zoom sessions with in-person weekends and single Saturdays in beautiful Suffolk venues. The learning environment is spacious, supportive and paced for sustainable growth.
You’ll also benefit from insight and inspiration from guest tutors across somatics, nutrition and back care.
You’ll be part of a supportive group of peers, with time to share experiences, grow together, and build lasting connections. I’ll be alongside you throughout the course, offering insights drawn from years of teaching to help you develop your own authentic path.
Mentoring doesn’t end when the training does—ongoing support is included in your course fee, so you’ll have encouragement and guidance as you step into teaching, in whatever way is right for you.
And experience a learning journey that honours both tradition and innovation—empowering you to share yoga in meaningful and life-affirming ways.
