TEACHER TRAINING AT THE REFINERY SCHOOL OF YOGA
Teacher Training at The Refinery School of Yoga is a fully accredited Yoga Alliance 200 hour programme that will empower students to deliver authentic classes, which still demonstrate their individuality. The course will be directed by Zoe Bertali E-RYT 500 and she will be joined by experts in various fields of study. We will provide an in-house mentoring programme throughout the training to provide feedback, advice and support when the students begin teaching. Students will quickly be putting their newly acquired skills to the test in real live classes – for the community and for Refinery members in the studios. There will be a fair amount of home study and self-practice to complete between each of the modules and there will be additional written and practical assessments. Students may fail the course if this is not completed.Our course is designed to be fitted in around a full time job and will run over 5 – 6 months. This also gives you the chance to absorb and practice everything you learn.
