Teacher Training Portal

Welcome to Your 200 Hour Teacher Training Hub

Welcome to your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training resource space. This page is your central hub for everything you’ll need throughout the course, from module breakdowns and schedules to reading lists, homework briefs, mock exams and downloadable resources. Think of it as your digital training manual, designed to support you as you move through each stage of the journey.

We encourage you to revisit this hub regularly, check announcements, download materials in advance of each module, and submit your work on time. Most importantly, remember that growth doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from curiosity, consistency and willingness to learn.

We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s begin.

📢 Announcements

We’re so excited to begin this journey with you.

📖 Your First Assignment (Do Not Upload Yet)

In the Revision Resources section, you’ll find a downloadable copy of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Before our first module, please reflect on:

Yogas Citta Vritti Nirodha
Patanjali Sutra 1.2
“Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.”

Write a short paragraph (up to 300 words) in your journal reflecting on what yoga means to you.

Your journal can be handwritten or digital. However, please note that when formal submissions are requested later in the training, written work will need to be uploaded in digital format.

This first reflection is for you, to begin the journey inward and to arrive at your training with intention and curiosity. We’ll be discussing Sutra 1.2 together during our first module, so bring your thoughts, questions and reflections with you into the room.

We can’t wait to start.

      • Do I have to practice Yoga while on the course?
        • We encourage a regular practice while attending the training, and each participant will be able to attend classes at Calm Collective for free for the duration of the course.
      • What if I am sick or injured?
        • If you are unwell and cannot make it into the training date, every effort will be made to ensure you can make up the hours. Depending on how you feel, we may be able to stream the day virtually to you. But any hours missed will need to be made up.
        • If you are injured, recovering, or feeling well enough to attend but not able to physically practice, that is absolutely okay. You are still encouraged to attend. We can adapt postures, offer alternatives, or you’re welcome to observe when needed. Your presence and learning are what matter, and we will always accommodate you safely and appropriately.
      • What are the attendance requirements?
        • Full attendance is expected across all scheduled training days to meet the required contact hours for certification. If you miss a session due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, you must inform the training team as soon as possible and agree on a suitable make-up plan.
      • What happens if I miss a training day?
        • Any missed contact hours must be made up in a way agreed with the training team. This may include attending a future training day, completing additional assignments, or undertaking supervised make-up hours. Extended absences may affect your completion timeline.
      • How do I submit homework?
        • Homework should be submitted via the upload section on this hub page unless otherwise specified. Please follow the naming convention provided and submit work by the stated deadline.
      • What happens if I submit work late?
        • If you anticipate missing a deadline, please contact the training team in advance. Late submissions without communication may delay feedback and could impact certification timelines.

        • To successfully complete the training, you must:
          • Meet attendance requirements
          • Complete all required written assignments
          • Pass one anatomy and one theory exam
          • Complete your final teaching assessment
      • What happens if I don’t pass an assessment?

      • Do I need to buy all the recommended books?
        • Purchasing the suggested reading is helpful but not mandatory. Some hard copies are available to borrow from the studio for short periods.
      • Can I teach after completing the 200HR?
        • Upon successful completion, you will receive your 200 Hour certificate. You will need appropriate insurance before teaching and may wish to register with a professional body such as Yoga Alliance Professionals.
      • What if I have a complaint or safeguarding concern?
        • Please contact Lua in her role as Head of Training Operations & Safeguarding Lead. All concerns will be handled confidentially and professionally.
      • What support is available if I’m feeling overwhelmed?
        • Teacher training can be intensive. We encourage open communication. If you’re struggling, please reach out early so we can support you appropriately.

  • Attendance & Missed Sessions Policy
    • Full attendance is expected across all scheduled training days to ensure you meet the required contact hours and gain the depth of experience needed to complete your 200 Hour Teacher Training. Active participation in every module supports both your learning and the integrity of the qualification.
    • We understand that illness or unexpected circumstances can arise. If you are unable to attend a session, you must notify the training team as soon as possible. Any missed contact hours must be made up in a way agreed with the training team in order to meet certification requirements and there will be a fee which is priced at the discretion of the instructor.
    • Extended or repeated absences may impact your ability to successfully complete the course within your original cohort timeframe. Supporting evidence may be requested where necessary.
      Our aim is to support you while maintaining the professional standards required for accreditation.
