Meet your Teachers – 200hr YTT with Erin Prichard in Morocco + London

Teacher Training | Yogarise

The Yogarise 200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Morocco and London starts in Autumn and is led by Erin Prichard, supported by a hand-picked selection of talented guest teachers. This outstanding team of Senior Yoga Teachers creates an in-depth, diverse and very special training experience – in our opinion, the best teacher training in London, seriously! Read on to find out more about each teacher and the modules they’ll be leading.

Becky Farbstein : Asana Lab

Becky Farbstein is a Senior Yoga Teacher (SYT), having led many other teacher trainings herself. Her anatomy-focused approach is perfect for the Asana Lab sessions she’ll be leading you through. In these sessions, expect to deep-dive into familiar postures, develop your voice for cueing, and learn how to modify and adjust your students.

Rishin Paonaskar : Asana Lab + Restorative

Rishin will be working alongside Becky for Asana Lab sessions, as well as introducing you to the fundamentals of Restorative Yoga. Rishin is a Senior Yoga Teacher (SYT) with a specialisation in Restorative Practice and Yoga Nidra. He will also be leading an open conversation about cultural appropriation and working with you for some of your teaching practice hours. If this piques your interest, you may like to go on to take a 50hr CPD and become a Fully Qualified Restorative Teacher after you get back from Morocco!

Specialist Module Leaders

Shamita Ray : Sanskrit

Shamita will be sharing wisdom on the ancient language of Sanskrit. Shamita’s intricate knowledge of sound makes her a perfect teacher for this alpha-sonic tongue. She is a 500hr teacher, who has also devoted herself to the completion of a Masters in the traditions of Yoga and Meditation at SOAS University. Shamita will help you to understand the fundamentals of Sanskrit, as well as the techniques and values of incorporating Sanskrit into your classes.

Richard Knight: The Business of Yoga

After a career in hospitality, working as General Manager of various independent restaurants, Richard took a career break during which he retrained as a Civil Celebrant, and pursued a career in fundraising and business development within the charity sector.

He has since been able to let go of the 9-5, and move toward full-time self-employment. As part of this he hosts a range of workshops, events and international retreats, alone and with his business partner.

Lolo Lam : Ayurveda + Functional Anatomy

Senior Yoga Teacher (SYT) Lolo will introduce you to the fascinating worlds of both Ayurvedic medicine and functional anatomy. With a background in nursing and specialisation in neurosurgery and intensive care, Lolo’s knowledge of the medical and wellbeing world perfectly straddles the Eastern and Western approaches. You can expect her to share experience, helping you marry these two systems of thought so you can integrate them into your practice and teaching.

Deepti Sastry : Chanting + Mantra

Deepti is a 2000hr trained yoga and meditation teacher, specialising in Vedic chanting and mindfulness. She will be teaching you about the traditions and values of chanting and mantra. You can expect to explore the deeply profound healing effects of mantra, as well as consider how to bring this into your own space. Deepti has a sincere and abiding faith in yoga and chanting traditions, and cannot wait to share it with you.

Tara Lee + Clare Daniell : Pre/Postnatal

Tara Lee and Clare Daniell have worked together for over a decade running workshops and trainings for pregnant and post-natal students. They will be sharing their experience with you, and teaching you how to accommodate for, modify and integrate bodies as they pass through this stage. Use this part of the training as a stepping-off point, before you consider going further and taking pregnancy and post-natal trainings following your 200hr qualification.
