200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training

---

If you’re curious to go deeper into yoga — beyond simply learning poses and into the worlds of anatomy, movement, philosophy and practice — this may be for you.

I’m delighted to be working alongside Dr Karen Kirkness on her Yoga Alliance-accredited 200-Hour Foundations Yoga Teacher Training, held at A Wee Retreat in Peebles, Scottish Borders.

Karen is my own teacher and the creator of the Five Filaments approach that you may have experienced woven into classes here at Twist & Bliss Yoga.

I’ll be continuing my work with Karen and of assisting throughout the in-person training weekends, so it’s a wonderful opportunity for members of our Twist & Bliss Yoga community who would like to take their practice and understanding much further.

The training combines online learning with in-person weekends in Peebles and includes:

• Anatomy & physiology — developing a much deeper understanding of how the body moves
• Five Filaments movement
• Yoga philosophy and the traditional foundations of yoga
• Pranayama and embodied practice
• Sequencing and alignment
• Teaching skills and practice
• Developing your own personal yoga practice

Not necessarily.

You might already know that you’d love to teach yoga, or you may simply be fascinated by yoga and want the opportunity to study it in much greater depth.

The course is designed to deepen your own practice and understanding while also giving you the skills to teach confidently.

For those wishing to teach, successful completion leads to a Yoga Alliance 200-Hour Certificate of Completion as a qualified yoga teacher.

The in-person element of the 2027 course takes place at the beautiful A Wee Retreat in Peebles, with additional self-paced online study completed alongside the training. (Scroll down to join the interest list for the Edinburgh-based training.)

Peebles offers a lovely opportunity to step away from everyday life and immerse yourself in your learning, while still being easily accessible from Edinburgh.
