What will I learn on the 60 hours yoga foundation course?

  • By participating in this course, you will learn about the principles of Yogic philosophy, the history of Yoga, and its modern applications. Our approach promotes inclusivity, creating a space where individuals from all backgrounds can practice and learn. The course also explores decolonising Yoga practices from South Asian and African perspectives.

  • The course covers foundational poses, alignment principles, pranayama (more than just breathing techniques), and meditation practices. You will have the opportunity to develop a regular practice of Pranayama and Mantra (chanting and use of sound), as well as experience the benefits of deep rest for the body in Savasana.

  • The course consists of approximately 35 hours of classroom sessions with personalised support from tutors, along with 25 hours of non-class hours for self-practice, reading, journaling, and assignments. All sessions take place in person at our studio, providing a nurturing learning environment.

  • Jasminder Bahia, the Director of Bahia Yoga, will lead the theme of this course. Supported by two Bahia Yoga teachers who will provide mentoring throughout. Jasminder has a rich background in Yoga, and 20 years of teaching experience. She is a compassionate teacher and offers care and support in her classes. This training is an excellent opportunity to be inspired by creativity and joy in movement and stillness.

  • Open to students who have one year (or more) of active yoga practice. With a desire to progress and develop your own practice and understanding of Yoga. We strongly recommend joining regular classes and workshops at the studio before committing to the course. 

  • The course is designed to be interactive and will help to build a solid foundation of applied Yoga. Learn to apply practical skills to your day-to-day life, from journaling, self-practice and study, meditation, pranayama, and skills for relaxation.
