Yoga Teacher Training Program Content
Western Wellness delivers industry leading yoga education and teacher training programs from our studio in Point Cook, in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. We guarantee the quality of our training and have a commitment to excellence which is evidenced by our 5 star google reviews.
Our Yoga Alliance accredited yoga teacher training programs are the most comprehensive, flexible, and affordable in Australia. Our commitment to quality and high training standards - including in-person and online training modes - motivated us to design our 350-Hour Advanced Diploma of Yoga program. Students can choose to specialise their qualification in key areas of demand for Yoga Teachers such as, Hatha & Vinyasa, Yin & Relaxation Yoga, Trauma Informed Yoga, and Pregnancy Yoga. Students can also elect to complete all three modules and graduate with a (500 hour) Master of Yoga Teaching Qualification.
The difference with Western Wellness is that our students develop the skills and confidence to be employed as successful Yoga Teachers. This is evidenced through our Yoga Apprenticeship Program, where we exclusively employ our graduates, nurturing their careers as successful Yoga Teachers.
