Welcome to your Teacher Training journey

Yoga Teacher Training with Every Body Studio is designed for curious, compassionate students who want to deepen their practice, grow in confidence, and learn to share yoga with others.

Whether you hope to teach or simply wish to explore yoga more fully, this programme offers a warm, accessible, community-centred environment where everyone is supported — regardless of age, background, or flexibility.

This is more than a course. It’s a grounding, inspiring experience that changes how you understand yoga, your body, and yourself.

Why train with us?

We believe yoga is for every body. Our programme is thoughtfully designed to support students of all abilities, with modifications, trauma-informed teaching principles, and plenty of encouragement throughout.

Inclusive, accessible training

An encouraging community

Our lead teachers bring decades of combined teaching experience, deep knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy, and a genuine passion for helping students grow. You’ll feel guided, respected, and welcomed from day one.

A fresh perspective

Graduates frequently tell us that the training gave them clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose — in and out of the studio.

Experienced, supportive faculty

Past trainees often describe our programme’s community as one of its greatest strengths. You’ll learn alongside a small, friendly group that celebrates progress, shares challenges, and supports one another long after graduation.

YOUR YOGA TRAINING JOURNEY

Every Body Yoga Teacher Training

Split into two parts, our year long training enables you first to deepen your learning and practice and then, should you wish to teach, take part two to progress into how to hold space for others, deliver classes confidently, and build community. Completion of both parts of the course will be accredited by Yoga Alliance.

Our course was created and is taught in collaboration. Trainees are encouraged to contribute and engage with the material with trainers and discussion will form an important part of the course.

Part 1: Immersion

For those who want to dive deeper into yoga, whether or not you want to teach, our Immersion will fulfil your needs. In part one, you will work on developing your practice through our asana labs, your understanding of yoga and its traditions, as well as some personal development work, including journaling practices. We want to empower you in finding your own voice and confidence, gaining insight into your personal practice. We offer a supportive environment to thrive in.

Those interested in taking Part 2 will also need to complete Part 1. You will only be a certified yoga teacher if you complete both parts, but you are more than welcome to take Part 1 as a standalone course.

TIME COMMITMENT

Usually one weekend a month in person 12:15—18.30pm
Some Wednesday evenings (online via Zoom)

  • We know a lot of people choose a yoga training to develop their own practice, or simply to teach others, but embarking on this journey can also be a powerful experience of self discovery. You will be supported throughout by mentoring sessions and group work to make sure you get the most out of the course. Our Part 1 Immersion will help you develop your yoga practice and understanding of the history and roots of yoga.

    Katie Wheater Wellbeing - 2025 Trainee

  • “When they say everybody studio, they really mean every mind, every word, every action as they really do create a space that enables all. I’ve tried challenging their process and they blew me away with their kindness, thoughtful words and ideas thereafter. Their teacher training course is truly an adventure in honesty, curiosity, truth and of course yoga.”

    Brek Taylor - 2024 Trainee
