Accreditation

The spirit of the Yoga Alliance Standards is to include a school in the RYS® (Registered Yoga School) Directory only when its YTT (Yoga Teacher Training):

  • Has a definite, pre-defined curriculum that meets the Yoga Alliance Standards.
  • Is taught by yoga teacher trainers who are qualified to train teachers
  • Offers a consistent approach that is conducive to depth, rather than a survey of different approaches.

All standards for a RYS are intended to be clear, implementable reflections of the above criteria.

From Our Students

It’s always best to hear current and past people’s experiences, please view a selection of our students and what they had to say… 

Having just completed the 200 hour teacher training course I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about doing their teacher training. It’s an amazing experience and I’ve learnt so much, both about yoga and myself. Shahana and Maggie are both brilliant teachers and offer support and guidance throughout, really making you believe in yourself along the way, the support received from the other students was also amazing. The course takes commitment, but all of the effort is definitely worth it! I’m really glad I chose Urban 121 for my training and look forward to continuing my yoga journey.

Hayley Tabbard

Thank you so much for developing a teacher training program that not only worked within my schedule, but has taught me exactly what I need to know to begin teaching immediately. The live teaching in classes as part of the training programme is one of the best aspects of the course, because it really gives you real life experience of what it’s like to teach. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone considering to teach. Namaste.

Ravi O'Reilly

The Yoga Teacher Training has been an incredible experience and opportunity to be a part of. The course has been well managed with continuous communication from the teachers, organisers and other students. The schedule fitted perfectly alongside work commitments with space between the sessions to allow for self-study and attending studio classes for practice. The teachers share so much knowledge and experience which inspires you to develop your own yoga practice, self-belief and confidence to teach. I am very pleased that I chose Yoga Teacher Training Essex at Urban Hot Yoga for Yoga Teacher Training and would highly recommend the experience.

Hannah Law

Had an amazing journey with Yoga Teacher Training Essex @ Urban Hot Yoga, such a great team, was like being part of a family. The teachers were so supportive and were available 24/7. It has definitely been one of the best experiences of my life and I am so grateful to them all.

Gemma Smith

The course has completely transformed me! The teachers are great, they encourage you to be curious and explore postures, not to adopt a one size fits all approach. I couldn’t be happier with the great deal of knowledge I acquired throughout this training. The classes are intense, the work goes deep and stays in the body long after class is over!! The added bonus of this course was the opportunity to share my experience with other students, sharing our journey together. 

Tanya Lewis

The course was well organised and managed, with great communication and contact before the course providing helpful info. Teachers on the course was very good with different styles meaning more was learnt. A really intensive course, but learnt lots, great fun and ran by fantastic people. Would recommend to anyone wanting to become a yoga teacher. Another benefit is being able to take part in teaching small sections of a live class while on the course, which really helped in building confidence.

Anna Granger

‘I found the Reformer Training course at Urban Reformer Pilates a great experience.

The knowledge gained quite outstanding from our teacher Erica.

She was very knowledgeable, approachable and  always happy to spend extra time making sure our understanding of the principles of the course were clear.

I came away feeling a confidence to be able to now work at the studio being able to create a safe, effective and enjoyable class to the members there.

Somewhere I enjoy working and training at myself, always made welcome by the owners.

A very clean establishment.’

Nicola Allen

Knowledgeable and supportive teachers. Wonderfully delivered, making the entire course thoroughly enjoyable. Would thoroughly recommend the Studio and course to anyone looking to learn more. Thank you!
