"Having already completed 200hours yoga teacher training and many years at university studying nursing and health sciences, I have high standards. This training has been absolutely next level. Both for me as a professional yoga teacher and health care practitioner, but also as a life long student of yoga, always diving deeper into the practice and teachings and making me reflect on my own life, habits and growth. It is a big commitment, this is not a wishy washy course. The content is deep, thorough and professionally delivered in a way that is accessible to all students. Mollie and Ollie, the facilitators, are kind, compassionate and patient with learners. They focus on empowerment and built up our own capacity to be the best we can be, to start our own yoga businesses and to keep learning so we can be the best teachers and supports for our students in future."

The Pillars of the Jala Yoga Teacher Training
Integrity and high quality education is important to us, which is why we base all of our trainings upon these pillars.
Evidence Based
This training prides itself on its evidence based approach, offering you the most recent research on each topic covered.
The evidence based approach to Yoga enables you to develop skills to work alongside Allied & Integrative Heath Professionals.
Trauma Informed
This training equips you with tools to be able to apply the latest research of trauma informed care to teach both 1-to-1 clients and group classes. Our trainee's learn how to support the corners of our community that wouldn't necessarily walk into a yoga studio, and/ or work alongside mental health clinicians or integrate Yoga into their clinical practice.
Small groups
The Teacher Training groups are capped at 10 Trainee's in both our hybrid and remote options for learning to ensure you will receive one-to-one guidance and attention.
You will receive individual mentoring from Mollie based on your learner type and learning goals. Your learning experience is our utmost priority.
Selfless Service
Selfless Service (Seva) is at the forefront of Jala Yoga, with Beach Clean Up's running monthly. You will have the opportunity to facilitate these events as a way to gain experience working with the community, while embodying the philosophy of Yoga and giving back.
This curriculum is designed to set you apart as a highly skilled, trauma-informed yoga teacher—ready to make a meaningful impact in diverse settings.

"As an OT looking to up skill as a yoga instructor, particularly in the areas of mental health and disabilities, I am truly grateful to have found Jala Yoga- Mollie and her team. During the 350hr training, they shared a wealth of knowledge on trauma-informed practice and yoga while maintaining respect for Yoga’s cultural roots. Furthermore, I really appreciated the significance of evidence-based and client-centred practice as part of the training.
I also felt supported and safe in learning and practicing Ashtanga yoga, from previously only attending lead classes to now feeling comfortable with Mysore practice. I definitely recommend Jala Yoga and am looking forward to continue to learn and practice with them."
