“This was a truly transformational 50 hour course and it has changed my life in so many amazing ways. I felt like I had really met myself for the first time in my life. I can’t thank you enough for guiding me through this special journey that will forever be in my heart.”
The Five Movements Yin Yoga Teacher Training is a 50-hour Yoga Alliance Professionals UK approved course. We begin with four consecutive days of study, followed by a day to rest, reflect, and absorb the teachings. We then return for three more days of exploration, deepening our understanding, and concluding with a day dedicated to review and practice teaching.
This training is designed to awaken your understanding of Yin Yoga and the Five Elements in a way that touches the body, mind, and heart, so you can teach with depth, clarity, and presence.
“Emma’s course made a space for me to find ‘my’ yoga. A gift I will have for life now and I am so grateful. ”
Structure:
Over seven days, we move through the Five Elements, exploring Yin Yoga postures, Qi, and how the body mind spirit complex interact.
Each day is a blend of meditation, practice, and study, with time to rest, reflect, and integrate the teachings. Together, we create a container to understand the whole person, and how these ancient principles can guide your teaching and your own life.
Practical details:
We meet daily at 8:30am, take two short tea breaks in the morning and in the afternoon. We have an hour for lunch and finish by 5:30pm. For a full course outline email me using the button below.
Yoga Alliance:
On full completion, each student will receive a 50 Hour certification. This will qualify those with a 200 Hour foundation the freedom to register themselves with the Yoga Alliance UK as a Yin Yoga Teacher.

“It was powerful, self enquiring and authentic…. Her passion for Yin, Anatomy and the 5 elements is infectious and magical. If you can spend any time as a student of this inspirational soul, do. You will never regret it. She has much to teach. If you are ready to learn.”
“Holding the space so beautifully as you alway do. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary amount of knowledge and making it so accessible.”
This course is for everybody. You don’t need to be a Yoga teacher or want to be one to attend. All that’s needed is curiosity and a willingness to explore, while deepening your understanding of how the Five Elements system can illuminate all aspects of your life. The smaller group setting allows for an intimacy and depth rarely found in other trainings.
The SPARK of practice
An immersive 30-hour Yoga Alliance accredited course, exploring the Daoist Yang flowing sequences combining movement, awareness, and the Five Elements theory. We focus our efforts on the most important relationships in Daoist philosophy - Water, Fire and Earth.
While the pace is more dynamic than our Yin Yoga trainings, the philosophy remains the same — connecting body, mind, spirit and exploring the art of moving with awareness.
More details, including pricing and registration, will be announced soon. This four day course will be held in London and run from a Friday through to and including the Monday.
Please get in touch to be notified when bookings open.
