My BWY Yoga Teacher Training starts Saturday 19th September in London and online 🌿 This is a typical in-person session example — here’s what a training day actually looks like, from start to finish.

During our in-person sessions:

→ We arrive at We settle in, we breathe, we chant.

→ Group check-in. We open the class together, checking in with how everyone’s arrived that day.

→ A little philosophy. We explore a snippet of yoga philosophy — enough to sit with, enough to carry into the practice. We come back to this during our online sessions and reading at home.

→ Anatomy of the day. We look closely at the anatomy of a specific posture — what’s really happening, how this moves through the body, how to modify and make this pose accessible, how to teach safely.

→ Guided practice. I lead you through a full class — warm up, breaking down the peak pose with all its anatomy and modifications, counter pose, and savasana at the end. You feel it in your own body before you learn to teach it.

→ Break-time! We bring in lovely, healthy food to share, tea, cake and chatting. It’s a lovely part of the day!

→ Teaching practice. We start small — in pairs — then build up to teaching in small groups. No pressure just a lovely casual and supportive environment. It’s where it all starts to click.

→Group discussion. Questions, tricky bits, real solutions. Honestly one of the most interesting parts of the whole day.

→ And we always end with something lovely - meditation, relaxation, or a closing chant, to bring everyone gently back.

It’s a full day. It’s also one of my favourite parts of this whole training — watching a room of people move through breath, anatomy, philosophy and each other’s first nervous attempts at teaching, all in one afternoon. 💛

I’m not flexible enough to become a yoga teacher” or “Do I need to be able to do advanced postures to become a teacher?” — these are the most common doubts that pop up for people considering joining my teacher training.

The truth is, touching your toes or doing a handstand has very little to do with what yoga teacher training is all about. You’ll learn that yoga is so much more — and learning to meet people where they are is at the heart of what becoming a teacher really means.

If this is the thing that’s been quietly holding you back, I’m running a free masterclass to walk you through exactly what teacher training involves.

Plus I will introduce you to my upcoming BWY Yoga teacher training in London and online starting 19th September.

Angela just completed my British Wheel of Yoga 300hr teacher training. 🧘‍♀️✨

Here is what she shares about here experience:

“You will have the choice to be a yoga teacher, and it will be a choice made from your heart — not because of any fear or lack of ability or lack of knowledge.”

“The Saturday in-person classes were just like the best workshops ever.”

“Hana is kind, patient, meeting you where you need her to be — but also steering a very, very steady, strong ship in the right direction.”

If something in you has ever wondered “could yoga teacher training be for me?” — that spark is worth listening to.

Come find out at my free masterclass, Sunday 23rd August, 10am–12pm, online. Comment YES and I’ll send you the details.

My next BWY 300hr Yoga Teacher Training begins 19th September, London & online. I will DM you the details for this too!

Yours in Yoga

Almost all the students who’ve attended my Yoga Teacher Training over the years have busy full-time jobs and family commitments — whether that’s children, caring for elderly relatives, or supporting friends.

I’ve had a working mum of 7, several single mums, and even 3 students who had babies whilst on the course!

That’s exactly why my BWY Yoga Teacher Training is spread over 14 months.

Monthly in-person sessions on Saturdays, 1.45–7.30pm (in London), with online sessions in between, give you the flexibility you need.

Spreading the learning over the months gives you enough time and space to really absorb everything and let it integrate into your life.

If in your heart you know you want to take the next step into teacher training, but you’re wondering how it will fit in around everything else — I’ve got the perfect opportunity coming up.

8 Signs Yoga Teacher Training is right for you👇

1️⃣ You absolutely love yoga. Not “should probably do more of it” love — genuine, look-forward-to-it-all-week love.

2️⃣ You’ve felt what yoga can do for you, and now you want to know how.

3️⃣ Your practice has settled into a plateau, and a little voice is asking for something more.

4️⃣ You’ve tried practising alone and never quite know where to start, and you’re never quite sure if you’re “doing it right.”

5️⃣ You’ve wondered where yoga actually comes from.

6️⃣ You tell everyone how brilliant yoga is (and secretly want to teach them properly!)

7️⃣ You know yoga is about far more than touching your toes.

8️⃣ You’re ready to carve out time and space that’s just for you.

How many felt true for you?

Yoga Teacher Training gives you so much more than a certificate.

You walk away with self-belief you didn’t know you were missing.

Friendships that outlast the course.

A community that shows up for you — and one you learn to show up for too.

Confidence that spills into everyday life, not just on the mat.

And honestly? A stronger, more trusting version of yourself.

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s the right step for you, I’ve got you covered 👇
