The Shala School of Yoga

Most yoga teachers commit to a lifelong path of learning and their teaching will continually evolve. Our 300-hour yoga programme supports that process, feeding inquiry, encouraging questions, guiding, supporting, creating community and so much more.

Beyond the Postures is our core 300-hour module for teachers who want to deepen and enrich their teaching. Together we'll explore voice, ethics, breath, meditation, the subtle body, leadership, wellbeing, belonging, psychological safety, creating an equitable yoga culture and so much more to helpyou teach with greater confidence, clarity and inclusivity.

If any of the instrusive thoughts on the first slide resonate with you, this broad and expansive training will help you move past them.

Teaching yoga goes far beyond cueing poses. And this is where we start our Level 1 training, with exploring how to make people feel safe, seen and connected. It is always pure magic to experience the energy of the room when trainees nurture each other in the quietest, softest and most compassionate way.

Just the jungle, the lake and nourishing yoga and ayuvedic treatments.

This is exactly what yoga looks like sometimes. Facing our fears and the succeeding.

Ellie-Jai is one of our recent 200-hour graduates who has gone on to set up her own business, creating meaningful trauma-informed yoga sessions to support neurodivergent individuals through movement, wellbeing and connection.

A reminder that the courage we practice on the mat has a way of rippling out into the world beyond it 🤍 You can find out more about her unique offerings at

We spend so much time surrounded by noise, screens, and concrete that we forget how different we feel in nature. Nature is infact the antidote to it all, bringing us back to ourselves, to the earth, to our breath, to a quieter mind and a more regulated nervous system.

Reconnecting doesn’t always look like doing more. Sometimes it just looks like going outside. Or practicing yoga outside as Gingi is doing here! 🩷

Every breath has the power to shift the way we feel, move and experience the world.

Melanie Cooper will be leading an immersive exploration of Pranayama, where ancient wisdom meets modern science. Through theory, practice and personalised guidance, you'll deepen your own relationship with the breath while learning how to share it safely and confidently with others.

The word adjustment can spark a lot of discussion amongst teachers. For some it means hands-on assists; for others it's loaded with questions about consent, authority, and whether touch in yoga is appropriate at all.

We think the question isn't should we adjust? But what is an adjustment actually for? Sometimes it's to deepen a posture. Sometimes it may be to connect with a student in a way that builds trust. Often, in our experience, it's to offer information - a hand on a back that says here, breathe into this part you've forgotten about. Sometimes the most skilful adjustment may be no adjustment at all.

Our 300-hour takes the work of adjustments seriously, and takes the judgement around it just as seriously. When, why, with whom, and what you're really offering.
