THE DOCK STUDIOS
200 HOUR TEACHER TRAINING
The Dock Studios 200hr Yoga Teacher Training takes our students on a journey of self-discovery within the framework of yoga, in all of its glorious manifestations. Students gain a deeper understanding of themselves and start to awaken a new level of consciousness and awareness. This can sometimes be challenging but the rewards are transformational and set the foundation for continued discovery.
The training is facilitated by The Dock Studios Teaching Team who will share their wealth of knowledge, practice and experience in yoga, meditation, healing and personal development. We are committed to supporting you through every step of this training to enable you to live more fully and to teach from a place that is embodied and feels authentic.

NEXT TRAINING DATES:
This year, you have the choice to journey through your training in one of two streams Traditional or Aerial with a shared foundational beginning and immersion experience that brings our whole training community together.
Whether you feel called to deepen your own practice, expand your understanding of yoga, or step into teaching, this training is about far more than postures. It is about integration, integrity, and becoming.
Module 1 (Shared)
4–6 September 2026
Immersion Week in Bali (Shared)
19–25 September 2026
From there, the pathways gently separate:
Traditional Yoga Stream
For those called to the depth and lineage of traditional yoga practice, this pathway honours the roots, philosophy, and embodied intelligence of yoga in its classical and contemporary forms.
This is not just learning how to cue poses.
It is understanding why we practice, how we hold space responsibly, and how to teach with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
You will learn how to:
• Skillfully sequence intelligent, accessible classes
• Understand functional anatomy and safe alignment principles
• Integrate pranayama, meditation, and subtle body awareness
• Teach to diverse bodies and abilities with inclusivity and care
• Weave yogic philosophy into modern teaching in a grounded, relatable way
• Develop your own voice as a teacher — steady, informed, and true
This stream is both rigorous and deeply supportive. It invites personal growth alongside professional development, so that what you offer students comes from lived experience, not memorised scripts.
Module 2: 9–11 October 2026
Module 3: 6–8 November 2026
Module 4: 27–29 November 2026
Module 5: 15–17 January 2027
Aerial Yoga Stream
For those feeling called to explore yoga through suspension, strength, play, and perspective, our Aerial pathway offers a comprehensive and deeply grounded training in aerial methodology.
This is not just “learning tricks.”
It is intelligent sequencing, safe rigging principles, anatomy in the air, therapeutic applications, creative transitions, and building confidence to hold space from the hammock.
You will learn how to:
• Teach foundational and progressive aerial sequences
• Support students safely in inversions and transitions
• Understand aerial-specific anatomy and contraindications
• Create strong, creative, accessible aerial classes
• Integrate aerial philosophy with traditional yogic principles
