what you will learn

This course explores the relationship between yoga practice and the natural world, inviting you to reconnect with the elements as a source of balance, inspiration and healing.

  1. nature-based yoga

    Nature-based asana and pranayama practices to connect us to the elements within and nurture our kinaesthetic intelligence and felt sense.

  2. elemental ritual

    Devotional offerings and simple elemental rituals to focus your attention and begin your day in a heartful, dedicated way.

  3. micro-practice

    Short practices which can be integrated easily into daily life, helping us to take yoga off the mat, slow down and be present.

  4. self-care

    Ayurvedic self-care practices to cultivate more love and appreciation of ourselves. This is called dinacharya in Ayurveda and is a powerful way to start the day.

  5. yoga nidra

    A deeply nourishing practice which restores and balances the nervous system. Incredibly healing. Led by world-renowned Yoga Nidra expert Uma Dinsmore-Tuli.

  6. voice work

    Sacred sounds, mantras and voice activation practices to activate the elements within us and enhance the vibratory resonance inside. Led by Dominique Zuniga.

  7. poetry & sound

    Opening the energy channels or nadis and energy centres with the powerful vibration of bija mantra and poetry.

  8. eco-therapy

    A therapeutic side effect from being immersed in nature and practising yoga. The elements return us to a regulated state of balance and wellbeing.

questions

What certification is given after completion?

Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a Yoga Alliance 50-hour certificate, recognised internationally. Additionally, this training offers 50 hours of credit towards Lorraine Taylor’s 300hr Advanced Teacher Training.

How is the course structured?

Each week you work through the online lessons in your own time: video lectures, yoga classes and homework assignments. On Sunday evening the group meets live with Lorraine for an hour, from 25 October to 29 November.

Do I need any prior experience to do this course?

This course is for people who already practise yoga and love it. You don’t need to be advanced, but it won’t cover the basics of what yoga is. The focus is on how yoga and nature practices weave together.

What if I miss a Sunday?

Every Sunday session is recorded, so you can watch it in your own time.

Is financial assistance available?

Yes, we offer payment plans upon request to make the training more accessible. You can ask for one on the booking form, or write to Lorraine.

What is the learning platform like?

The lessons are high-quality, professional videos on Teachable, an online course platform. You can watch them from any device.
