Venue: Veda Embodied Yoga Teacher Training at Elmdon Lee, Littlebury Green, Essex CB11 4XB
Veda Embodied 300 Hours Advanced is not just another yoga teacher training. It is about refinement and integration - it's about YOU being the key to all your teachings- so it is very much focused on enriching your personal yoga journey whilst adding high-level teaching skills.
Think of this course as being the paradigm shift between being able to teach yoga effectively (which hopefully you can already do!) to being illuminated so brightly from within by inspired and embodied knowledge that you radiate authentic teaching and teach intuitively, in a deeply skilled way.
Are you ready to expand, deepen and awaken?

The assessment process is 3-fold in nature following the principles of Understanding, Practice and Embodiment
1. self appraisal - continuous basis with Sadhana Diary kept - and bi-monthly check-in with tutor
2. practical assessment class planning and teaching skills. You will teach a final assessed session of 60-75 minutes in the final or penultimate month of the course. There will also be many shorter, informal teaching assessments throughout the duration of the course.
3. written work/essays - there is written work for each module of the course.
