What would your life be like if...

  • You could teach your own yoga classes on your own schedule?
  • You could teach yoga anywhere in the world, including yoga from your home?
  • You could get paid to share what you love?
  • You could find your own authentic teaching voice and feel confident?
  • You understood how to do all the yoga poses in the right way?
  • You had a yoga tutor who listened, supported & gave you valuable feedback?

Here’s the problem...

  • You don’t know where to start
  • You love yoga but there is so much out there and not all of it feels like you 
  • You’re not sure you are are ready to teach it
  • You see the images and you are afraid you don't look like a yoga teacher, not bendy enough, not strong enough, not young enough, not zen enough?
  • You understood how to do all the yoga poses in the right way?
  • You had a yoga tutor who listened, supported & gave you valuable feedback?
  • You don't know if you are doing the poses 'right' or how to explain them
  • There are lots of great yoga teachers out there, is there space for you?
  • It feels like a dream.

And that’s where I come in...

My name is Clare Bassett,

I'm passionate about empowering women to find their voice and share what they love. With over a decade experience training

yoga and meditation teachers and a background in teaching and learning, I've got you.

My yoga teacher training course is designed to be empowering, super practical and individualised with you at the centre

I work mainly with women who love yoga, who are committed to cultivating their yoga practice, and are passionate and curious.

I work women who want to deepen their own practice and share yoga without feeling overwhelmed so they can sustain themselves and be a force for positive change in the world.

Is this you?

So, why this is different?

  • You don’t know where to start
  • You love yoga but there is so much out there and not all of it feels like you 
  • I will personally support you to find the words, the confidence and your voice to be an effective yoga teacher 
  • I am 100% results-driven, your success is my success!
  • I have a higher diploma in education, and I'm a senior yoga tutor with almost 20 years experience teaching teachers
  • I am not a guru yoga teacher who will lecture you. My expertise lies in creating a supportive friendly learning environment where you can play, learn, practice and grow 
  • I guarantee small class numbers and individual feedback so you know what to work on to keep improving and evolving
  • This course is a transformative experience. You will be supported and gently guided throughout.

How it works...

I support and guide you over 10 months, you will have one training weekend per month, plus a group whats app with access to me, and a one to one mentor meeting during the course, with a bonus follow up mentor meeting 6 months after you finish.

During your training days we will cover course material, including workshops on the yoga poses, yoga teaching practice, talks and discussions on the philosophy and history of yoga, embodied anatomy and our ethical business module.

We set sustainable, achievable goals for your yoga practice, keep you accountable to your results and give you lesson plans for your first classes.
