Upstairs we have treatment rooms where we offer holistic treatments. At weekends we offer professional training courses such as Yoga Teacher Training and Pilates Teacher Training.

What You’ll Learn
The Joyful Yoga Academy 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is designed to give you a deep understanding of yoga while building the confidence and practical skills to teach with authenticity.
Throughout the course, you’ll explore far more than just the physical postures. You’ll develop a strong personal practice, deepen your knowledge of yogic philosophy and anatomy, and learn how to create safe, inspiring classes for a wide range of students.
With a balance of theory, practice and personalised mentoring, you’ll gain the knowledge and experience to teach with clarity, compassion and confidence.
During the training, you’ll explore:
* Yoga Asana – alignment, modifications, variations and intelligent sequencing.
* Pranayama & Meditation – breathwork, mindfulness, mantra and Yoga Nidra practices.
* Teaching Methodology – cueing, class planning, observation skills, hands-on teaching practice and constructive feedback.
* Anatomy & Physiology – understanding movement, functional anatomy and adapting yoga for different bodies.
* Yoga Philosophy – the history of yoga, the Eight Limbs, ethics and the wisdom that underpins the practice.
* Professional Development – building confidence as a teacher, ethical business practices and creating a sustainable career if you choose to teach.
More importantly, you’ll discover your own authentic teaching voice in a supportive environment where questions are encouraged, individuality is celebrated and learning happens through experience.
Whether you choose to become a yoga teacher or simply wish to deepen your personal practice, this training offers an opportunity for lasting personal growth—on and off the mat.
