The Shala School of Yoga

A 50% bursary is available for our Elemental Yoga Nidra Teacher Training with Emma Landolt.

We believe yoga education should be accessible to the people who will use it to create positive change in their communities. If financial barriers have held you back, this bursary may help make your training possible.

The bursary is designed to support people from groups that have been historically under-represented in the yoga world, who are experiencing genuine financial difficulty and are committed to making yoga more accessible to others.

If you've been waiting for the right moment to begin your Yoga Nidra teaching journey, this could be it.

Applications are now open. Visit our bursaries page to learn more about the eligibility criteria and how to apply.

Nature has an inexplicable way of bringing you back to yourself in the most effortless way.

The wind, the trees, the sky, the open air — they don’t demand anything. They just contain you as you are, reminding you that we are all connected to each other and to the planet.

A few moments from our 2025–2026 200 Hour Teacher Training cohort.🩷

Over the past few months, this group has shared practices, conversations, challenges, laughter and countless moments of growth together.

Our 200 Hour Teacher Training is about so much more than learning to teach yoga. It's an opportunity to deepen your practice, explore the many layers of yoga, cultivate connection with self and others – and discover your own authentic voice, whether your intention is to teach or simply to grow personally.

It is always a privilege to be part of this transformative process.

Applications for our September 2026 intake are now open. If you're curious about joining us, we'd love to welcome you.

As teachers we have to practice what we preach! A glimpse of Charli taking a moment for self care in her busy schedule at the Shala. Sorry Charli for interrupting that peaceful moment!

Often used to mean well-structured – peak pose, preparation, counterpose, the architecture of a class.

That's definitely part of it. But intelligent sequencing also asks: intelligent for whom, on what day, toward what? A sequence that's beautifully planned out in your notebook can land badly in a room of frayed bodies on a gloomy evening in February.

The intelligence isn't only in the structure, it's also in the reading of who's actually in front of you, and the willingness to adjust. We need structure and we need planning in teaching yoga, but we also need flexibility and adaptability.

Our 200 and 300 hour programmes covers the architecture of how to build a class, but more than that, it's about learning to teach the class the room actually needs.
