200hr Yoga Teacher Training
Online study with Yoga Haven · 4-day immersion with Clare in Sussex
A comprehensive 200hr yoga teacher training — everything you need to teach yoga confidently and from the heart. Study the theory online in your own time, then join Clare Maddalena and the LushTums team for an unforgettable four days in Sussex that will transform how you teach.
HOW IT WORKS
Two Extraordinary Parts.
One Complete Training.
This 200hr programme brings together the best of online and in-person learning — the flexibility of self-paced study with the depth and magic of a live immersive experience. You get both.
PART ONE · ONLINE
Online Video Training with Yoga Haven
Access a comprehensive library of professionally filmed video content covering everything you need to become a calm, confident yoga teacher — 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, at a pace that works for you.
Yoga Haven brings decades of teaching experience to this material — clear, practical and beautifully delivered. You'll also discover your own niche and passions as you move through the content.
PART TWO · IN PERSON
4-Day Immersion with Clare Maddalena
Then join Clare and the LushTums team for four days in Sussex that take your training to the next level entirely. This is where the theory meets the heart — where you discover how to teach from a place of genuine presence, embodied knowledge and deep care for the people in your room.
The immersion covers anatomy, fascia and movement through a somatic lens, how to hold space with integrity and warmth, and the full LushTums approach to teaching — active, nourishing and deeply human. You will leave knowing exactly how to create classes that people remember and return to.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
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.
01
Teaching Skills & Voice
Voice work and performance coaching so you teach with clarity and presence. How to demonstrate, modify and adapt — for all bodies, all abilities, all experience levels. Hands-on adjustments and sequencing. How to hold space with integrity, warmth and professionalism. Everything that makes the difference between a teacher who is technically correct and one people genuinely love to practise with.
02
Anatomy, Fascia & Movement
Anatomy and physiology explored through the lens of somatic movement — how the body actually works, not just in theory. A deep exploration of fascia and what it means for how we move, teach and heal. Understanding contraindications, common injuries, and how to keep your students safe whilst challenging them appropriately. This is the section that transforms technical teachers into embodied ones.
03
Yoga Asana & Sequencing
A thorough foundation in yoga postures across multiple styles — from grounding practices through to energising flows. How to sequence with intention and intelligence, building a class that has a beginning, a journey and an arrival. Modifications and progressions for every posture. How to work with pregnancy, postnatal recovery and all the life stages that walk through your door — because they will.
04
History & Philosophy of Yoga
The origins of yoga as an oral tradition through to the early texts and teachings — and what it all means in today's world. The 7 major branches of yoga. The eight limbs. Concepts including nadis, the 7 chakra system, koshas, the subtle body and the six acts of hatha yoga. Dharma, karma and reincarnation. Mudras, mantras and chanting to weave into your classes. A fascinating area that gives depth and context to everything you teach.
05
Yoga for Mental Health
How yoga philosophy applies to today's mental health landscape — anxiety, depression, burnout, stress and the overwhelm of modern life. The neuroscience of yoga's effects on the nervous system. How to create classes that genuinely support mental wellbeing, and how to hold space when students bring difficult things into the room. Increasingly important, and often missing from other 200hr trainings.
06
Business, Finding Your Niche & Launch
How to figure out where your passions lie and build your offering around them. Setting your prices. Insurance, tax and the basics of going self-employed. Building your brand and finding your students — from social media to local marketing. The ups and downs of running your own yoga business, honestly and practically. Clare shares twenty years of experience in this section — including everything she wishes she'd known when she started.

Why LushTums!? What Our Trainees Say . . .
“I loved everything to be honest, absolutely loved this learning curve and I am excited for my future as an Antenatal Educator with the LushTums family.
The videos were all really useful and a great mix watching the last cohort plus our Q & A’s. I probably learnt the most from watching Clare’s two courses and have taken away ideas to use in my own classes.
I have felt fully supported by Clare throughout and know I can come with any problem or ask for help when needed. The manual has become my bible and I refer to it regularly and will be with me in all my future classes.
Most of all I have felt supported and welcomed by the whole LushTum’s family.”
