Teacher Training
This is the real deal.
This is where old school apprentice style yoga teacher training meets science and innovation in training delivery.
Our yoga teacher training graduates exceptional teachers, with a life-long commitment to their own yoga practice.
Our programs are led by experienced educators, researchers and senior Yoga teachers.
You will learn, you will grow, you will heal and you will graduate with extensive practical experience and references. This course is registered at the highest level with Yoga Australia and is registered with Yoga Alliance. Our lead trainer Dr Jean Byrne sits on the Yoga Australia Council of Advisors, an honorary position reflecting her decades of experience and expertise in Yoga Teacher Training.
This is a comprehensive course, with a limited number of participants, interweaving self-directed online learning, group mentoring, one-to-one mentoring, charity yoga teaching and in person connection and community. Our trainees have opportunities for placements which are not available anywhere else. These include teaching in prisons, domestic violence shelters, aged care or be involved at the cutting edge of yoga research and deliver yoga on clinical trials of yoga via Murdoch and Curtin University.

A safe space to show up and be yourself
Would highly recommend the yoga teacher training course and yoga classes. Has changed my life, deepened my practice and supported me with the journey inwards, helping me to release trauma and integrate and share the teachings with others.

They have so much passion, care and love for this practice and will support anyone in their journey, no matter where they are at in life
So incredibly grateful to have found this place! Through my Teacher Training I have been given access to some incredibly knowledgeable teachers! The tools and materials they provide, as well as their unique mentoring, have helped me explore deeper into yoga than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much for honouring the yogi ways always and giving people such a special opportunity to explore yoga themselves.

As a mum to 2 little ones I needed flexibility & support, and I got that and more
I moved back to Perth a few years ago & decided to do my Yoga Teacher Training & I'm so glad I chose Yoga Space to support me on this journey! I have loved every minute of my time with them. As a mum to 2 little ones I needed flexibility & support and I got that & more with online membership for classes as well as coming in to Saturday vinyasa with Jean and chai after with my fellow yogis. I love the people I have met through YS and the very accessible and varied classes that are on offer!
