Yoga University

What is your journey?


Joining their program is compelling for several reasons:

🌱 A non‑dogmatic, modern approach to yoga

The training blends classical and contemporary techniques drawn from major yoga systems, giving you a broad, adaptable foundation rather than tying you to a single lineage. This approach helps you develop your own authentic teaching voice while understanding the roots and evolution of yoga.

🧘‍♀️ Learn to teach with confidence

Across nine weekend modules, you’ll learn to teach a full 60‑minute Vinyasa class using clear dialogue, verbal cues, and hands‑on adjustments. You’ll also explore different teaching styles, understand what makes a great teacher, and build the confidence needed to lead classes immediately after graduation.

🔍 Deep dive into alignment, anatomy, and safe practice

The course includes detailed study of postural alignment, how to correct common misalignments, and how to offer modifications. You’ll also learn anatomy, kinesiology, physiology, and basic first aid—knowledge that ensures you can keep students safe and teach with integrity.

🧠 Expand your personal practice and understanding

You’ll take part in regular yoga classes, explore different styles, practice meditation, and study yoga philosophy and history. This helps you grow not just as a teacher, but as a practitioner with a deeper, more embodied understanding of yoga.

🧩 Flexible structure that fits real life

The program is designed over weekend sessions, making it accessible for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. Some offerings are even bespoke, allowing training hours to be tailored to your schedule.

✨ A Message from Kathy Ran: What It’s Like Teaching Yoga for Over 30 Years

Teaching yoga for more than three decades is a little like watching a garden grow. You plant seeds, you nurture them, and over time you witness the most extraordinary transformations — in others, and in yourself.

When I first began teaching, yoga was still something people stumbled upon rather than sought out. Over the years, I’ve watched it become a lifeline for so many. What hasn’t changed is the heart of the practice: the breath, the presence, the willingness to meet yourself exactly where you are.

After 30 years, the mat has become a mirror. I’ve learned that every student who walks into the room brings a whole world with them — their hopes, their grief, their resilience. My role isn’t to perfect their poses; it’s to help them reconnect with the part of themselves that already knows the way.

The greatest privilege of longevity in teaching is perspective. I’ve seen students grow from beginners to teachers. I’ve seen people return after long absences, carrying new stories in their bodies. I’ve seen how community forms not through grand gestures, but through shared breath, shared silence, shared humanity.

And personally, teaching for this long has softened me. It’s taught me patience, humility, and the beauty of not knowing. Yoga is not something you master; it’s something you continually return to. Every class still teaches me something new.

What keeps me inspired after all these years is simple: love. Love for the practice, love for the people who show up, and love for the possibility that each class holds — the possibility of healing, of awakening, of remembering who we truly are.

If you’ve practised with me, you’re part of that story. If you’re just beginning, welcome. There is room for you here.

How to start a meditation


Beginning a meditation with Kathy Ran often starts with creating a gentle transition from everyday busyness into a calmer, more grounded state. You settle into a comfortable seat, letting your spine lengthen while your shoulders soften, and

Kathy invites you to notice the simple rhythm of your breath without trying to change it. Her guidance usually centres on easing into awareness—feeling the weight of your body, sensing where tension sits, and allowing thoughts to drift through without judgment. As her voice sets a steady, reassuring pace, you’re encouraged to anchor your attention on one point, such as the breath or a quiet phrase, so your mind has something steady to return to whenever it wanders.

The tone is warm and unhurried, helping you shift from doing to simply being, which makes the rest of the practice feel more accessible and restorative.

breath training with meditation begins in April join me for an amazing experience towards the inner self so that you can share the joy meditation and breath work with others few spaces remain.
