Why study with The Light Practice?
As teachers, we are being called upon to respond to the unique challenges of our time. Our students and communities need us to offer more than just physical postures; they yearn for a deeper understanding of themselves beyond the body.
At The Light Practice, we recognise the nervous system’s crucial role in cultivating this deeper awareness. We believe in approaching teaching with sensitivity to the needs of the whole person, not just the physical body.
Our teacher training program is built upon an embodied understanding of sensory and subtle practices. We are committed to weaving together Yoga's physical and energetic aspects in a way that supports and nourishes the nervous system. Through this approach, we can hold space for ourselves and our students in a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed way.
If you are ready to embrace a more holistic approach to yoga teaching and awaken a deeper understanding of yourself and your community, we invite you to join us and be a part of a new paradigm in yoga teacher training. We are committed to a nervous system-led - trauma-informed approach; this is what we practice and what we teach!

Testimonials
“I will forever be grateful that I was fortunate enough to do YTT at The Light Practice. I learnt so much about myself, my heart and the collective, and it gave me so much hope to experience so much love and light. It was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, mentally, physically and emotionally, but I was supported and held all the way by all. I feel like I’ve shed many layers to reach the core of the depths of my soul, I’m definitely not the same person I was before YTT, and I have a much deeper connection and appreciation of yoga.”
Diana
“My time in AWAKEN was so deeply healing and enlivening for me. The light Practice provides a space so ambient and beautiful that I was able to really drop. The mixture of yogic philosophy, somatic awareness and energetic alignment tools were invaluable to learn in a group in-person container. I loved the structure, the space, and the teachers, and I will forever feel a part of The Light Practice family after my YTT experience.”
Saya
“The 200-hour teacher training run by the amazing Prue and Elisa is an incredibly unique experience that I wish everyone had the opportunity to have. Every teacher who shared their wisdom was incredibly knowledgeable and created a safe learning place. They encouraged everyone to be individual teachers, and everyone in the group held one another throughout the training. I absolutely loved that the training included trauma awareness. It gave everyone so many important skills and knowledge that everyone should have, whether you want to be a yoga teacher or not. I wish I could do the entire experience again.”

Approx 20-25 hours each week across Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The training will run for ten weeks with a break in the middle.
Outside of contact hours, there will be recommended integration, home practice and class practice to embody the teachings and allow yourself time to integrate the learnings.
This will differ between people, but we recommend at least 3-5 hours of extra study and integration outside of contact hours. Our faculty will share different methods and modalities for doing this.
As this is a 200-hour vinyasa training, we require you to participate in at least four yoga classes per week, in your own time, on top of the included weekend practices. The training will be asana-focused and physical, so keeping your practice up is essential. Attending classes is also a great way to embody your learning and see it in action with our teachers.
You will also be given the opportunity to observe our public classes throughout the training. This entails sitting in a class (not practising) and observing to cueing, direction and watching sequencing. So, extra contact hours need to be factored in for this.
In case of missed sessions, you must make the hours up in your own time with an available teacher.
If more training sessions are required for the group to progress in learning, these may be added at our discernment and with regards to your availability.
Please remember that you cannot give from an empty cup, and your health should be your number one priority, so don’t forget to make time for rest, recovery and reflection!

Our 200hr training is accredited through International Yoga Alliance (YA). Upon successful completion of your course, you will be a fully qualified 200hr Vinyasa Yoga Teacher.
Upon completion, you decide whether to register yourself as a teacher with YA. This is not a requirement to be able to teach yoga, (YA is not a governing body of Yoga, it is a training affiliate); it is just an add-on you can choose if you wish. Please note there is an annual cost in registration you will need to cover if you do wish to join Yoga Alliance.
Whilst you will learn a variety of "SIGNATURE TLP MODALITIES" such as Sound, Somatics, Breathwork, and Feminine Embodiment, these practices take years of personal immersion, reflection and additional advanced practitioner Training.
You will NOT leave this 200YTT an accredited teacher in any of the above. However, the knowledge and hands-on training you will collect through this program will change how you see/feel your own body, which, in turn, will set you up to become a teacher and student of great depth, sensitivity and embodiment.
