50hr Yin and Yoga Sutras Teacher Training

Tuesday 3rd - Sunday 8th November 2026

9 - 5:30pm daily (12-1pm lunch break)

In this 50-hour Teacher Training, we will explore the essential archetypal yin poses and functional anatomy, including anatomical differences, key muscle groups, target areas, and joint segments, for a thorough understanding of compression vs. tension. You will also learn the core Yin postures and how to sequence them.

Facilitating space for stillness and introspection requires adapting our language and teaching skills to support students on their inward journey. This training will help you find that voice, so you leave feeling ready and inspired.

Yoga Therapist Lucy Pope will teach you how to apply the ancient philosophies of yoga to your modern life through the teachings of T.K.V. Desikachar. This Teacher Training will incorporate elements from all four chapters of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. It will involve discussion and group sharing, with the yin practice taking place at the end of each day to offer space to pause and reflect. Lucy studied with, and continues to be a student of, Colin Dunsmuir, who was certified in the Krishnamacharya Viniyoga lineage directly by his teacher, T.K.V. Desikachar.
Please note: this training does not qualify you to work as a yoga therapist or to work one-to-one with students. The philosophical element of this course is purely for your own self-development as a practitioner of yoga, and to give you a deeper understanding of how The Yoga Sutras can be applied to your life.

Due to the nature of this teacher training, an introductory call with Yoga Therapist Lucy Pope is required before signing up.

Please email Ruth@thelifecentre.com and Linzi@thelifecentre.com to find out more and/or to book your introductory call with Lucy.

Additional Information:

There will be a mandatory assignment related to The Yoga Sutras to be completed after the training. Plus an optional one hour private follow up session with Lucy for an opportunity to go over anything you would like extra clarity on or to discuss anything that has come up for you after the training ends. This will be over video call and is included in the price.
