Yoga Teacher Training

What does the programme cover?

The curriculum covers all aspects of yoga, including:


  • A transformative journey designed for yoga teachers who seek to deepen their personal practice, expand their knowledge, and embody the wisdom of yoga on a profound level.
  • Through a combination of guided practice, in-depth study, self-inquiry, and group connection, this mentorship provides a space for continuous growth beyond teacher training.
  • Rooted in yogic philosophy, modern science, and ancient spiritual teachings, each module explores a unique theme, bridging the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of yoga.
  • With the support of a like-minded community, you will develop greater clarity, confidence, and integration, allowing you to step into the next phase of your path with authenticity and purpose.
Benedita Sousa, lead teacher

Benedita Sousa

Benedita discovered a profound passion for hot vinyasa yoga whilst working in the coporate world. This intense practice not only quietened her overthinking mind but also played a crucial role in her healing journey from depression.

As the former owner of In Balance Hot Yoga in Southampton, Benedita successfully ran her own Yoga Teacher Training program, cultivating a community of high-quality, powerful, and authentic yoga teachers.

Benedita's mission is to empower aspiring yoga teachers with the tools, techniques, and knowledge they need to overcome life's challenges, to teach with confidence, authentically, and with integrity.

She is a Yoga Alliance approved E-RYT 500.
