Teacher training stories
“Yogafurie is a special place. Walking into the studio is like getting a warm hug, the space and the instructors make you feel safe. I talked to Ed about my yoga curiosity and my concerns about teacher training because I was new to yoga and wasn’t sure if I was ready for the course yet. Ed listened and gave me the reassurance that I needed to make my decision.”
Jo discusses the journey which led her to join the 200-hour yoga teacher training course in 2022.
“The yoga course offered time for me and my growing baby to connect in meditation and breathing. An incredible teaching deepening my knowledge and understanding of yoga, the world, myself. It opens up new perspectives, getting the brain whirling with thought provoking concepts..”
Helen shares her experience of studying Yoga Teacher Training whilst pregnant.
“I can’t recommend the course enough. You’ll meet an incredible group of people, who you’ll likely become great friends with, and be taught by an array of experts in areas such as facia, Sanskrit, history of yoga, anatomy, kirtan, meditation, yin yoga, among many others.”
Jess’s journey from redundancy to a year of learning, self-discovery, new career opportunities and a more suitable working life!
“I feel so ready and so excited to continue my yoga teacher journey for years to come. I’m so grateful for the experience and couldn’t be more glad that I took the leap of faith and chose to study yoga.”
How Ainsley, a mother to a young family, took the leap despite her nerves. And how much of a success that risk was!
“I didn’t expect this time last year to have handed my notice in at work to pursue my dream in yoga – but here I am and who knows where this 200 hours could take you!”
Lizzie offers you her advice for getting the most out of your Yoga Teacher Training journey.

Reflections after a Yoga Teacher Training
“Teaching yoga has been revealing in so many ways. Physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically. One important thing I’ve learnt, is to ‘just start.’ The truth is, if you really want to learn something – teach it.”
A Life-Changing Yoga Teacher Training
Seana had already completed a Yoga Teacher Training before she joined Yogafurie
“The key take away from the course has been to find balance and start to create a life that I have chosen, as opposed to one that I stumbled into.
This was the first step in a journey that has been so entirely beneficial to me.”
