Sandy Farquhar - Supporting Our Students

Supporting Our Students

We believe in excellence in Yoga teacher training.

For us and our students, this is far beyond teaching asana.

Contemporary Yoga is a truly holistic programme that offers a transformational experience for students that explores deep into the Yoga tradition and modern movement theory to build skills that support and enhance a life of Yoga practice and Yoga teaching.

The amount of knowledge and understanding, experience and love that has gone into the teacher training is truly epic and has enabled such a deep and rich learning experience.
Caroline Bindon

Diverse, enlightening and empowering. The course exceeded my highest expectations and has equipped me with a toolbox of yoga teachings that I could apply in many circumstances to a wide variety of students.
Cam McLeay

Are you interested in deepening your understanding and experience of Yoga practice?

Not sure if you would like to teach?

Contemporary Yoga Teacher Training is in its 11th year of offering teacher trainings. Many of our students join us to deepen their understanding of all aspects of Yoga not necessarily to teach. Although, often through the process of training, students change their mind and want to teach - sometimes beginning with their family, friends and community.

This year, recognising that some students want to fully immerse themselves in Yoga without learning to teach, we have crafted our 200 hour teacher training into two parts:

Our next 200-hour courses:

Immersion & 200 hour Training 2025
Part 1: 5th - 13th July (break day 9th)
Part 2: 20th - 28th Sept (break day 24th)

January 2026
Approximately 18 days from early January.
Dates to be confirmed by April 2025.

Inquiries and expressions of interest welcome: info@yogateachertraining.nz

Trainings are in two parts:

Part One: Diving into Practice: Yoga immersion - for Yoga lovers: Can be taken as a standalone course.

Part Two: Emerging to Teach: Immersion & teacher training with certification: Part one must be completed prior.

The 200 hour trainings includes up to 40 hours of teacher directed and supported online learning.

 

Part One - Diving into Practice
Yoga immersion - for Yoga lovers
5th - 13th July 2025
(break day 9th)

Part Two - Emerging to Teach
Immersion & teacher training with certification
(must be taken with part one)

Part One - Diving into Practice
We offer part one as a standalone immersion into the principles and practice of Yoga including history, philosophy, essential anatomy and guidance on developing a personalized self practice. These are all the ingredients to develop and enhance understanding and experience of Yoga as a sustaining and deepening life practice.

Who is this for?
Lovers of Yoga practice in classes and at home and Yoga teachers with curiosity and interest who want study with our passionate, experienced and highly skilled faculty who are eternal students themselves.

Part Two - Emerging To Teach
This is a practical, in-depth immersion into Yoga pedagogy, the ethics of teaching, developing effective and inspiring class plans, in-depth and relevant learning about anatomy and physiology, teaching skills, creating a brand, safe and supportive teaching practicums. The programme includes introductions to somatics, irest - yoga nidra, Restorative Yoga and more.

Who is this for?
Students interested in developing and sustaining a teaching practice.

Students who successfully complete both parts one and two of this training receive a 200 hour Contemporary Yoga Teaching Certificate - recognised by both YogaNZ and Yoga Alliance.

The 200+ hours of Yoga teaching training is truly to an exceptional high quality standard of teaching. The guidance and support during my training with you all has been a once in a lifetime experience.

Everyone should take this course! It is such a unique course and experience that you will not find anywhere else.

Yoga and Cacao: Part 4: Integrating Cacao (conversations with Steph Le Gros)

Yoga and Cacao: Part 4: Integrating Cacao (conversations with Steph Le Gros)

“I am living today as someone I had not yet become yesterday. And tonight I’ll only borrow pieces of who I am today, to carry with me to tomorrow.”
Andrea Gibson

Closing the ritual is as essential as the beginning. Welcoming in the circularity of the practice or an integrational interlude giving space for all that needs to land, to land. Integrating all that has surfaced and moved you to ‘shape your soul’.1 Think of integrating Cacao as savasana – a closing ritual that keeps on giving.

Yoga and Cacao: Part 3: Learning the Spirit of Cacao (conversations with Steph Le Gros)

Cacao helps us restore and remember our connection to nature, to earth, to the ancestors that have lived before us. And to the ancestors that we are yet to become.

I could write about the history of cacao, of traditions and legends told through lineages of Peruvian tribes. And yet I question whether it is my voice that should be speaking to it.
