The in-depth curriculum is absolutely amazing
I’m so delighted that I signed with The Yoga Space for my Yoga Teacher Training Course. I have just completed 200 hours of Yoga Teacher Training and am now qualified to be a registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200), continuing to enjoy my journey towards graduating to 350 hours by December.
The in-depth curriculum is absolutely amazing, covering areas such as Yoga Philosophy, Ethics & Lifestyle, Anatomy & Physiology, Yogic Physiology, Chanting, Asanas, Pranayama, Relaxation & Meditation, Sanskrit, Basic Postural Assessment, Sequencing, Introduction to Ayurveda, Preventing Injuries, Chair, Pregnancy Yoga, and Restorative Yoga, Teaching Methodology, Adjustments and Yoga as Business.
All areas are professionally delivered by teachers who are inspiring and truly authentic in personality. Their breadth and depth of knowledge is outstanding. I found the course easy to access, and was able to attend the classes both in-person, and online, with LOTS of professional mentoring, support, encouragement, and guidance. I live semi-rural so often attend classes via zoom.

Thorough training from a variety of experienced teachers
The Yoga Space was recommended to me when I was looking to do a yoga teacher training in 2021. From the beginning what stood out to me most, was the variety of experienced teachers there, so I went with The Yoga Space for the training. And it was the best decision. The teacher training was thorough, and it was so valuable to learn from all the different teachers. I felt well equipped to step into teaching and am still very grateful for this comprehensive training.
I am a student/member of The Yoga Space ever since, even though I do not live close, their classes are live streamed and engaging and there is also an extensive video library.

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!
