You do not have to be an advanced practitioner nor an experienced Teacher to join us to take a deep dive into all things Yoga, improve your strength, flexibility and practice, alongside other fun, warm, open Teachers who share your love of Yoga.
Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Course
This course is for Yoga Teachers only.
Together with your 200hr, the 300hr Yoga course qualifies you to become a Internationally recognised 500hr Yoga Teacher, approved by the Yoga Alliance.
WHY DO THE COURSE
This is our 7TH 500HR RYT course. We have run over 45 200hr Yoga Teacher Training courses and many short YACEP teacher courses too.
The 500hr course is when your love of yoga will soar. You will commit to studying on a much deeper level, to become a more empowered, skilful, yoga practitioner.
What matters is your love of yoga. The advanced course is advanced in that we will inspire you, you will go deeper enhancing your yoga knowledge, your practice, your teaching (if you teach) and you will leave loving and knowing yoga even more.
Please contact Catherine if you have any queries, as simple as they may seem. We are happy to help you.
TEACHERS
Our 500hr Teachers call us a Mini Yoga University – and that is what we are. Yoga Education and Yoga Teacher Training is what we specialise in.
All our courses are Yoga Alliance (US) accredited.
We were the first studio to be qualified to offer a Yoga Alliance (US) Advanced 300/500 hr Yoga Alliance approved Teacher Training in South Africa. All of our lead Teachers are 500hr Yoga Alliance Teachers, the highest qualification one can have.We are hugely experienced in both 200 and 300/500 hour Yoga Teacher Training.
THE COURSE
Our course is structured so that we can offer you a real insight into many different aspects of yoga, but with core themes running through the course that will give you a deeper level of practice and knowledge.
The Core Themes:
Personalised strength and flexibility training with weekly private feedback
Pose Practice
Sequencing movement science knowledge & class creation practice
Teaching skills – beginners, workshops, courses, retreats, zoom, and adjustments.
Around the Core Themes we introduce you to Speciality areas
Yin
Hatha for Seniors
Hot 26
Pre Natal Yoga
Yoga for Bigger Bodies
Iyengar style prop use
Pilates for Yoga Teachers
Philosophy and History
Mindfulness and Mediation
Breathwork
Business of Yoga
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
Personalised strength and flexibility training with weekly private feedback
We do a significant amount of practical training on the course.
We ask everyone what they would like to work on, and we build a programme to suit your needs.
We see transformations in your practice BECAUSE on top of classes and pose workshops we add training time to work on strengthening, flexibility and skill work.
POSE ANATOMY AND MOVEMENT SCIENCE
We also understand that most people shudder when they hear the word….anatomy… so for those that fear anatomy, be assured EVERYTHING you learn is completely related to yoga poses – we get up and move and point and see, adjust, laugh, play……and understand. Pose anatomy is our passion and we really know our stuff. Be prepared to be surprised.
We learn what stretching really is, what happens to our muscles in yoga practice, how to use load to strengthen to help us with arm balances, backbends and inversions, what flexibility training works….and much more.
TEACHING
You will learn how to structure intelligent classes, for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels. We teach you how to develop skills to build workshops and courses and the ability to create effective private sessions.
You may not be teaching but this will help you understand how to structure your own yoga sessions.
SEQUENCING
Advanced Sequencing is what we specialise in at the Wellness Connection, a understanding of the anatomical, physical training and cognitive (brain action) needs of a poses and how to bring those elements into a well designed Vinaysa Flow class for all levels of practitioners.

TESTIMONIALS
Francoise Schall-Wakai - Washington DC
The Wellness Connection Teacher trainings (200hr and 300hrs) are incredibly well conceived and structured. Catherine and her team not only ensure a high standard of teaching but also an equally high degree of enthusiasm. The program has a rational and science based approach: yoga anatomy, posture analysis, sequencing, adjustment, strength building, well researched history and philosophy of yoga. Critical mindset are the tools, among others that you will acquire. An daily yoga training, pose workshops give you the self understanding needed to progress with your yoga practice. This approach empowers you to take your confidence higher, no matter what your age or your anatomy. Catherine is the most inspirational yoga teacher and is incredibly generous of her time and knowledge. She enables a continuity of learning and sharing of experiences that contribute to a life long journey of yoga teaching.
