“Words can’t express how amazing Inna Bliss Teacher Training was! I had a reasonably strong asana practice going in, but coming out I have so much more…not least, an inner peace. I feel like I have been shown where the secret door is, what it means to hold space. Life has become richer. I can not recommend Inna Bliss Teacher training enough. Our teachers were incredible, with both attention to detail and unwavering support. It was not all easy - but it was life changing and I am so thankful to the universe for putting Inna Bliss on my path”

Jacqui, graduated trainee

With dedicated support from your mentors and teaching faculty, our team is committed to holding a safe space which enables an integrative and healthy process for your own personal development, supporting you to dig deeper, unpack and distill your vision and clarify the ways you are called to show up and have an impact via your own unique presence and offerings.

If you are ready to not only take your practice to a whole new level, but feel also it’s time to invest in yourself and immerse in a period of immense growth & expansion that will cultivate lasting change in all areas of your life, then this course is the one for you!

This course is not solely for those who wish to be a teacher, but open to anyone with at least 2 years of consistent yoga practice who is called to engage more deeply with yoga and intuitive and inner practices that sustain growth and transformation.


Why train with us?

Led by Inna Bliss Yoga founder and lead trainer, Amy Wilkinson along with a faculty of experienced senior teaching staff including Alison Potts, Andrew Mournehis, Lisa Fitzpatrick, Jody Vassallo and Satya Lynn, our intention was born from a desire to create the most expansive and comprehensive Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training program that prepared students to move confidently and competently into the seat of the teacher.

After 15 years of operating studios in Brisbane and 8 years of running teacher trainings, our expectation of yoga teachers and classes are high. We are passionate about training teachers that want to facilitate more then simply a physical practice but are looking to eloquently and expertly hold space for the richer inner unfolding that the practice offers. We have created a program that we believe reflects this intention, infusing our long held values in yoga and in business, and passes forward the skills which have most served us in leading high quality and deeply holistic yoga classes over many years of teaching. 

We are passionate about delivering a truly dynamic and integrative course program for experienced students with an ongoing and consistent yoga practice, whether or not you choose to engage in a teaching role.

For those of you wishing to share the art of yoga with others, this in-depth training, with it’s high focus on the teaching methodology, will empower and equip you with the practical tools and confidence needed to teach from your own authentic practice, whilst being grounded in your knowledge of clear alignment principles, yoga philosophy and anatomical awareness. 

With ongoing support from your mentors, you will understand what it takes to consciously create your own class sequences that offer structure, coherence and meaning. You will explore ways to play with and incorporate the various elements and skills needed to conduct classes that expertly weave in creativity and theming as well as intelligent alignment cues and verbal enhancements that will offer ways for you to connect your students to the deeper layers of the practice.

Upon completion of the course, you will have the opportunity to teach within a live studio setting, via community classes across Inna Bliss's three locations, with the prospect to move into permanent teaching roles within our Brisbane studios.

Testimonials

The Inna Bliss YTT 200hrs was an incredible life experience. All of the teaching staff involved provided insights from varying perspectives and backgrounds to culminate in an immersive training that allowed me to dive deep into what yoga really means to me, and why I have been drawn to teach. The course felt carefully crafted to bring in new information and skills at just the right time. Practical teaching skills in particular were interwoven throughout the course, starting on day 1. I felt so supported to explore myself, my practice and find my teaching approach in a safe and welcome environment. I couldn't recommend the course enough!

Verity, graduated trainee


It’s hard to put my YTT with inna Bliss into words. I signed up hoping to learn how to teach a yoga  class, but walked away a changed person. I am more in love with yoga now than I ever imagined possible, and am so excited to keep exploring what it has to offer, as well as to pass this passion and knowledge on to my students. The lead teacher’s absolute commitment to teaching the group, and passion for yoga was evident the entire time, not only from their classes, but also from the experts and experiences they provided us with over the course. I felt supported and engaged from start to finish. The retreat was a highlight for me, with the opportunity to connect with my fellow students and leaders in a very special way. These connections I know will last far beyond the end of the course, and hold a special place in my heart.

Being able to complete the course over a few months gave me time to consolidate the practices I had learnt without ever becoming disengaged. If I could take the course again I wouldn’t change a single thing.”

Gemma, graduated trainee

“An all encompassing experience. The teachers taught us not only a huge scope of yoga asana, history, philosophy, teaching methodology and so much more.. but they also took us on a deep personal exploration which held its own life changing lessons for each of us on the course. The facilitators fostered such a supportive environment in which we all grew together, having each others backs along the journey. YTT in 2020 was a ride, but it was all we could have asked for and more.”

Naomi, graduated trainee

“The Inna Bliss Yoga teacher training was such a wonderful, comprehensive and caring program, allowing each student to bring their own strengths and offerings to the yoga community. I feel like the diverse range of skills I have gained from each teacher through out the training has given me the confidence to plan and teach well thought-out classes in the community with precision. I can not speak highly enough of Inna Bliss Yoga and its teachers and I would definitely recommend this course!! Thank you again Inna Bliss Yoga”.

Janine, graduated trainee

"Inna Bliss is a home away from home. This teacher training went above and beyond all my expectations, and left me feeling excited and capable of practicing as a teacher. My teachers are truly inspiring and wise practitioners and clearly so dedicated in their own studentship. I cannot recommend this training enough."

"Inna Bliss YTT was both challenging and amazing. I believe it prepared me as much as possible to start exploring this journey of teaching and every day I see myself integrating what I learnt on and off the mat"

- Victoria, graduated trainee

"Splendidly well prepared and brilliant delivery. A seriously strong program with the highest principles, provided with warmth, care and outstanding expertise."

- Andi graduated trainee

 

"Live Your Bliss YTT was life changing. Initially, the course took what I thought I knew about my yoga practice and flipped it on its head. Not only that though; it redefined -- for me at least -- the power of being truly open to all of life's possibilities and being called forth to do something greater than I ever though possible. The process will take you to the edge of your comfort zone and often beyond... but that's where the magic happens and the real learning begins in my experience. As such, I can't recommend this course highly enough!"

- Lachy, graduated trainee

 

"Live Your Bliss teacher training was a life-changing, self-changing, yoga-changing experience that I will never forget. From the incredible teachers who poured their hearts, knowledge and beautiful souls into delivering a course that was just way above the standard, to the amazing yogis I met in the course, the luscious retreat at Gymea, and the resources and tools that I left with. Everything was incredible and I would not have had this experience any other way" 

- Carly, graduated trainee
