We’re offering to cover 50% of the 200hr training for a keen yogi, who has a passion to teach yoga for a living but who may not be able to afford to train due to being on low income. Please email clare@yogarise.london to find out more.
NEVER PRACTICED WITH ERIN BEFORE?
No worries. We have a Teacher Training Taster session with Erin, Live Online. Have. a practice, ask questions and get a feeling for whether this training is right for you.
Sign up to YTT Taster on Wednesday 11th Martch 2026 at 7pm. It is a 90-minute session.
There is also the option to meet or practise with Erin in Peckham from April 2026, to see whether this is the right training for you. Our Head of Trainings, Clare, would also love to answer any of your questions or meet for a cuppa.
IS THERE ANY PRE-COURSE READING?
Yes. The following book is mandatory: Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by B.K.S Iyengar. Please also sign up to listen to the first 5 FREE meditations from the Introductory Course on the Waking Up App by Sam Harris. If you would like more (optional) recommendations for further reading, we can give you a list.
HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?
Practical exam: You will learn a 60-minute set vinyasa sequence during the training which you will be expected to teach by the end of the course. We will be examining areas such as cueing, modifications, the pace of the class, and assists. This will take place outside of the teaching times/dates above.
Written exam: There is a written exam at the end of the course in which you will be tested on key areas of philosophy and anatomy. You will also be required to complete an anatomy quiz as part of your assessment.
On-going assessment: There will be daily reading in Morocco, sometimes including research on philosophy or journalling. You will also be asked to complete short tasks linked to the reading materials as ‘homework’ throughout your London modules.
Observation: You will be expected to observe at least three different teachers from an approved list – this task is designed to help new teachers develop their own style and find their own ‘voice’.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE?
All students are expected to practise daily during the training unless advised otherwise. In case of sickness or unforeseen circumstances that might stop you from completing the course on time the option of catching-up will be given, however, additional charges may apply. Please see Ts+Cs for more information on this.
WHAT MODULES WILL I STUDY?
Teaching Methodology – all about techniques, how to sequence, demo, adjust and cue, how to lead groups and individuals, how to integrate pregnant/postnatal students into class, Yoga for Mental Health + Resilience

PLEASE NOTE, SOME MODULES WILL BE TAUGHT LIVE ONLINE.
is the paid teaching upon graduation mandatory?
No, not at all. This is a professional qualification for those who would like to go on to teach but if you are taking the course to further your knowledge and deepen your practice, there is no requirement whatsoever. It’s up to you 🙂
