Two Extraordinary Parts, One Complete Training
This 200hr programme brings together the flexibility of self-paced online study with the depth of a live, immersive experience ~ you get both.
Part One ~ Online
A comprehensive library of professionally filmed video content with Yoga Haven, covering postures, sequencing, teaching methodology, anatomy, adjustments and how to adapt for all bodies and abilities. Study entirely in your own time, from anywhere in the world.
Part Two ~ In Person
Four days with Clare and the LushTums team in Sussex, where the theory meets the heart. You'll learn to teach from genuine presence and embodied knowledge, covering anatomy and movement through a somatic lens and the full LushTums approach to teaching.

The Full Curriculum
Six comprehensive areas of study ~ from the physical mechanics of yoga to the philosophical traditions that underpin it and the practical skills to teach it confidently to everyone who walks through your door.
Teaching Skills & Voice
Voice work and performance coaching so you teach with clarity and presence, how to demonstrate, modify and adapt for all bodies and abilities, hands-on adjustments and sequencing and how to hold space with integrity, warmth and professionalism.
Anatomy, Fascia & Movement
Anatomy and physiology explored through the lens of somatic movement, a deep exploration of fascia and what it means for how we move, teach and heal and understanding contraindications and common injuries so you can keep students safe while challenging them appropriately.
Yoga Asana & Sequencing
A thorough foundation in yoga postures across multiple styles, how to sequence with intention so a class has a beginning, a journey and an arrival and modifications for pregnancy, postnatal recovery and all the life stages that walk through your door.
History & Philosophy of Yoga
The origins of yoga as an oral tradition through to the early texts, the 7 major branches and the eight limbs, concepts including nadis, the chakra system, koshas and the subtle body and mudras, mantras and chanting to weave into your classes.
Yoga for Mental Health
How yoga philosophy applies to anxiety, depression, burnout and the overwhelm of modern life, the neuroscience of yoga's effects on the nervous system and how to hold space when students bring difficult things into the room.
Business, Finding Your Niche & Launch
