Hot Yoga has the image of being a fitness-based yoga that offers no homage to classical yoga and verges toward being an extreme sport. Its appeal mirrors our wild cravings for ice baths, dietary cleansing, and silent retreats, in the name of life exploration.
With the popularity of hot yoga in the West over the last 30 years, it’s time to dig deeper to uncover some of the universally sacred reasons why devotional practices and the use of heat have come together so nicely to help heal the ailments of the Western world.
From sports injury healing to soul connection repair, hot yoga is truly a fusion that brings some major force to the holistic wellness scene.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This training is all about experiencing the transformative power of hot yoga through personal experience and learning how to impart that experience to help others on their yoga path.
Much of the wisdom that yoga can offer to people from all walks of life comes from yogis' application of the knowledge to their own lives. Whether you are a practitioner of hot yoga for personal and spiritual development, or perhaps a teacher also, everything you have experienced can become a gift to others on their journey.
Who is this training for?
This training is designed to offer both certified yoga teachers and enthusiastic yoga practitioners the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of this popular practice.
For yoga teachers, the complete 100-hour training (and each 25-hour module) will count towards your CPD further training hours and give you the certification needed to teach with knowledge, clarity and confidence in the heat.
For avid yogis, this training will establish a strong understanding of how a hot yoga practice can be safely integrated into a holistic yoga lifestyle for optimal health and healing.
This course will give you the foundations for:
- Developing an exceptional level of personal practice
- How to practice/teach Hot Yoga in a safe and effective manner
- How to care for yourself as a hot yoga teacher/practitioner for long term success

Prerequisites
- Minimum 1 year dedicated personal yoga practice
