More Details200 Hour Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training
Both Kawai Purapura and Byron Yoga Centre have a holistic and integrated approach to yoga, encompassing physical postures alongside philosophy, meditation and pranayama.
John Ogilvie, founder and director of Byron Yoga Centre, has been teaching yoga for over twenty-five years. He will be the primary teacher in this program.
The curriculum is comprehensive and encourages students at all levels to build flexibility, strength and stamina of body, mind and spirit.
Functional Yoga and the Bio-Mechanics of Posture
A post-graduate teacher’s training course with Vincent Bolletta from Yogashala.
This program empowers the instructor – through enquiry and using the tools of pranayama, asana, postural re-patterning and hands on enhancement – to teach well.
Students need to have completed a minimum of 200 hours accredited with Yoga Alliance or equivalent, to enrol.
The course runs part time for seven weekends over six months with two intakes, in February and July. Residential and non-residential options are also offered.

Later in the year there will be other special festivals, including Sacred Earth and Sacred Music.
