What makes someone say yes to Yoga Teacher Training?

For some, it’s knowing they want to teach. For others, it’s a desire to deepen their own practice. And sometimes, it’s simply a feeling that they’re ready to learn more.

When we spoke to some of our graduates, they all came to the training for their own reasons. But their reflections reminded us that what you take away from Yoga Teacher Training can often be much more than you expected.

A deeper understanding of yoga. A different relationship with your practice. And sometimes, a deeper understanding of yourself too.

Our next Yoga Teacher Training begins with the first weekend of the course on 11 & 12 September.

If you’ve been wondering whether this might be the right time for you, we’d love to hear from you.

If you’ve never been to a yoga class before, you might wonder where you even begin.

In our Yoga for Men: A Beginner’s Guide, Matt introduces Sun Salutation A - a flowing sequence that brings together several key yoga poses and explores how movement can be supported by the breath.

It’s a great place to start because it introduces some of the key poses of yoga while also exploring how they flow from one to the next.

In Ashtanga yoga Sun Salutation A appears right at the beginning of the sequence, with elements of it returning again and again throughout the practice, offering a glimpse of what comes later.

It’s a relaxed introduction designed for complete beginners, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions along the way.

Practising a counted series with a teacher of Lucy's experience is a rare opportunity.

The counted method is central to how Ashtanga has traditionally been taught. With Lucy leading the room, you'll experience the practice with someone who has spent more than 30 years studying, teaching and sharing this method.

This October, Lucy will lead both a counted Primary and counted Intermediate Series at Merchant City Yoga. Throughout each workshop, she'll offer variations and alternatives so you can stay with the flow of the practice, whatever stage you're at.

We asked our recent graduates:

“What would you say to someone thinking about joining Merchant City Yoga’s Yoga Teacher Training?”

Their answers were different, but they all shared the same message: if you’re curious, don’t let uncertainty hold you back.

If you’d like to find out more about our Yoga Teacher Training starting this September, we’d love to hear from you.

David Keil will be with us at Merchant City Yoga next week.

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone joining us for Mysore, workshops and the 7 Day Intensive.

If you were hoping to join us but haven’t booked yet, there are still a couple of places available on the 7 Day Intensive. If Week 1 Mysore or the workshops were what you were hoping for, it’s still worth adding your name to the waiting list, as cancellations do occasionally happen in the final days before the event.

Your first Ashtanga class might surprise you.

There's no expectation that you already know what you're doing. You don't need to memorise a sequence, keep up with anyone else or arrive feeling particularly strong or flexible.

We'll begin with the foundations - learning how to breathe using ujjayi breath, exploring Sun Salutations and discovering how the practice can be adapted to suit your body and energy levels.

The aim isn't to get everything right. It's simply to begin.

Our 4-week Intro to Ashtanga Yoga course with Annabelle Mac starts this Thursday 6 August.

✨ Thursdays 7.30–9pm
✨ Small group (maximum 12 students)
✨ Weekly practice resources included

If you've been thinking about booking, we'd love to welcome you.

August’s here with its familiar back-to-school vibe. I’m hosting renowned teacher and good MCY friend David Keil – “the anatomy guy” – for two weeks this month and I’m delighted to see so many of you choose to come and learn with him. David’s approach focuses on helping us develop understanding, consistency and a more sustainable relationship with practice.

The idea of constant studentship - for all practitioners, teachers and students alike - is baked in to the traditional teachings that underpin our yoga practice. It’s on us to stay curious, to explore and study, to think critically and ask questions. To learn from those who are a bit further down the road than we are, who are skilled in ways we admire and respect and are able to share their knowledge and wisdom in ways that support and empower us.

August also brings one of my favourite moments in the year – graduating another group of teacher trainees. They’ve spent a year studying yoga and are now moving forward with a deeper understanding of their yoga practice and the confidence to share what they find.

Continued learning isn’t just for high-days and guest teacher days, it’s for every day. That’s why we’re all here for you at MCY, and we’re looking forward to seeing you on the mat this month.
