Why choose Yoga in Depth?

Taught through a critical lens

Our training approaches both anatomy and philosophy with discernment and inquiry. Rather than blindly following tradition for tradition’s sake, we explore where teachings come from, how they have evolved, and how they can be applied responsibly in contemporary practice.

Ethics, responsibility, and social justice

We place strong emphasis on ethics and the social, cultural, and political contexts of yoga. This includes examining power, appropriation, accessibility, and what it truly means to teach yoga in the West today.

Two lead trainers, shared passion

With two lead trainers, the training is shaped by what we are genuinely passionate about, and it shows. Our different strengths, interests, and lived experiences enrich the learning environment and offer students a broader, more nuanced perspective.

Current, evolving knowledge

What we thought we knew about certain poses, bodies, and practices 10 years ago may no longer hold true. Yoga in Depth draws on current research and updated sources, informed by experts across anatomy, philosophy, and movement science.

Moving beyond the guru–disciple model

We intentionally step away from hierarchical teaching structures and instead cultivate a circular, shared learning space. Knowledge is exchanged, explored, and questioned together, fostering agency, confidence, and discernment.

Learning from respected guest teachers

Alongside the two lead trainers, we intentionally invite guest teachers who are deeply experienced and recognised in their fields. These teachers are brought in to complement and extend what we offer, adding depth, diversity, and specialised knowledge where it matters. Rather than trying to be everything, we believe in drawing on collective wisdom, ensuring you learn from people who are genuinely immersed in the areas they teach, and strengthening the training as a whole.

Small group learning

A smaller cohort allows for depth, intimacy, and precision. You’ll receive more one-on-one time, personalised feedback, and mentoring that supports your individual growth.

Fully in-person and spacious

This training is entirely in-person, offering embodied learning and real connection. The part-time format allows teachings to land gradually, giving you time to integrate, practise, and absorb without overwhelm.

Ongoing support beyond graduation

Learning doesn’t end when the training does. Graduates receive continued support and mentoring through community classes, feedback, and connection with Claire and Hayley.

Find your own teaching voice

Rather than replicating someone else’s style, Yoga in Depth supports you to uncover and trust your own unique way of teaching, grounded in integrity, clarity, and authenticity.
