The Course Framework

The curriculum is organised around yoga philosophy that teachers can actually bring into their teaching:

  • Foundations of Yoga Philosophy The origins and evolution of yoga philosophy, key texts, and the broader tradition. Building a shared understanding without overwhelming students with historical detail.

  • The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali The eight-limbed path, the nature of the mind, and the practice of yoga as inner transformation. Exploring the sutras as a practical framework for teaching and personal development.

  • The Bhagavad Gita The teachings of dharma, action, devotion, and self-knowledge. Understanding how these timeless themes speak to modern yoga teachers and their students.

  • Core Philosophical Concepts Samskaras, gunas, koshas, and the nature of consciousness. Giving teachers a working vocabulary that enriches their classes and their conversations with students.

  • The Yamas and Niyamas in Depth Moving beyond the basics to explore how these ethical principles live in the body, the practice, and the teaching relationship.

  • Philosophy Across Traditions Tantra, Vedanta, and other streams that have shaped modern yoga. Understanding lineage, diversity of thought, and why the same practice looks different across traditions.

  • Bringing Philosophy Into Teaching Using philosophical frameworks to theme classes, support students through challenge, and teach with greater intention, integrity, and depth.

    Each element builds on the others. Students develop genuine understanding progressively, rather than collecting disconnected concepts they don't know how to use.

How We Approach Philosophy Education

Living Wisdom

Philosophy is not history. We teach the ancient texts as living guides that yoga teachers can bring into every class, every cue, and every conversation with students.

Experiental Learning

Philosophy makes more sense when you feel it. We ground every concept in practice, reflection, and real teaching scenarios so understanding becomes embodied.

 

Immediate Application

Every philosophical concept connects directly to how teachers show up in the room. Students learn to weave philosophy into their classes naturally, not as an add-on.

Honouring Complexity

Yoga philosophy is rich and layered. The curriculum presents depth honestly, giving teachers the confidence to hold nuance without needing to have all the answers.

 

Meaning Over Memorization

Students don't need to memorize every sutra. They need to understand the underlying principles and how those principles can transform their teaching and their students' experience.

About Us

We've been practicing yoga for over 50 years combined and working in formal education for more than 30 years. That intersection (understanding both yoga deeply and how people actually learn) is what this curriculum comes from.

We've trained teachers, developed programs, and seen what works and what doesn't. We've also experienced the frustration of creating curriculum from scratch and watching talented yoga teachers struggle with the same challenges.

This curriculum is what we wish had existed when we started training teachers. It's built from real experience, both the successes and the mistakes we've made along the way.
