Foundation in Asana and Alignment
Are you worried worried about recognising and addressing student needs?
We start with a deep dive into asana practice and alignment. Our approach emphasises understanding poses beyond shapes: you’ll learn to recognise individual needs and how to adapt postures based on what each student presents. By the end, you’ll gain a solid understanding of functional movement and physical cues to optimise each pose, build trust with your students, and prevent injury.
Simplified, Practical Anatomy and Physiology
Does the thought of anatomy feel intimidating and overwhelming?
Anatomy can feel daunting, but we believe knowledge is your foundation for teaching with impact. Our anatomy section is practical, approachable, and designed to empower you to confidently understand and communicate the body’s mechanics. You’ll gain skills to observe alignment, understand movement patterns, and make safe, informed adjustments—creating classes that are not only engaging but also grounded in safety and anatomical awareness.
Engaging, Goal-Oriented Class Design
How do I create sequences that students love and come back for?
We guide you through designing sequences that captivate and retain your students. Learn how to build balanced flows, set intentions for classes, and create progressions that keep students returning for the depth and quality of your teaching. You’ll leave with a repertoire of effective, pre-planned classes and the tools to design new ones based on your goals and your students’ needs.
Customising and Modifying for All Levels
Personalization is at the heart of teaching. We’ll train you to see beyond the basics of each pose to support each student’s unique practice. You’ll gain confidence in assessing limitations and knowing when and how to adapt. By recognizing where each student is in their journey, you’ll bring the right level of challenge, creating a safe and motivating experience.
Meditation and Breath work: The Science and Integration
Meditation can profoundly benefit both physical and mental health, but often it’s difficult to sustain. Here, we focus on pranayama techniques and meditation practices that are backed by science and adapted for modern life. Experience the benefits firsthand, while gaining insights on how to make meditation an accessible and powerful part of your students’ daily routines.
The Power of Positive Habit Building
Yoga is about more than the mat. We teach you how to cultivate lasting habits in both your practice and life, connecting the physical and mental benefits of yoga to the larger picture of personal growth. These methods will enable you and your future students to establish healthy, positive habits that extend well beyond asana.
The training offers 200 hours of immersive, in-person learning. Expect 28 days of progressive learning, structured as six days on, one day off, allowing you time to absorb, apply, and rest.
Who You’ll Learn From
You’ll be guided by three highly experienced, internationally renowned teachers who don’t just talk the talk but live and breathe their practices. With years of hands-on experience across multiple disciplines, our teachers are here to support and challenge you, bringing insights that are as down-to-earth as they are transformative.

James is a great teacher! His personal approach and understanding of the body have helped me to grow in strength and confidence and increase my own body awareness.

Thank you, James!

I had the pleasure of learning from James during my 200-hour yoga teacher training. He is an exceptional teacher—his profound knowledge, respect for his students, and remarkable skill in making complex concepts accessible truly set him apart.
His teaching style and its emphasis on proper alignment and a holistic approach, not only deepened my understanding of anatomy but also highlighted the interconnectedness of the body’s systems in my yoga practice.
James’s dedication and expertise have left a lasting impact on my journey as a yoga practitioner and teacher. Thank you, James, for being such an inspiring and invaluable part of my training!

I know how frustrating it can be to feel unprepared and uncertain when stepping in front of a class. Traditional yoga teacher training often lacks the practical in depth anatomical education needed to fully embody your knowledge. That’s why each course is designed to give you the foundational understanding needed to bridge that gap and help you become the standout educator you aspire to be.
Each course provided through Physical Element, is a commitment to your growth as a yoga teacher. I am invested in your success not only through the material provided but by providing personalised guidance and support during each course and offering continued support options after, ensuring you feel confident and empowered every step of the way.
