Course founder and main teacher Flo Fenton of Australian Yoga Life Magazine.

“This course will provide you with all the skills, confidence and understanding to begin a rewarding career in yoga teaching. Most importantly though, I will share with you knowledge tools and the experience of doing your life in a deeper, more connected, more satisfying way.”-Flo Fenton.

If you place a high value on authenticity, depth of knowledge, and maintaining the ancient tradition and culture of yoga to gain and impart all of its benefits, not just at the level of the body but beyond, this training could be the one you’ve been searching for. Flo Fenton has a vast array of skills and depth of knowledge gained over thousands of hours of training with the giants of yoga, and 20 years of teaching experience. Intouch Yoga Teacher Training will teach you how to work with yoga not just as a physical exercise, but as it was intended, as a way of accessing prana, the life force. This approach enables you to fine tune not just your own practice, but to make your teaching accessible, beneficial and unique to each individual student.

Intouch Yoga Teacher Trainings are intimate and personal boutique trainings with numbers less than 16 students. This  provides for what Intouch Yoga believes are essential opportunities to ask questions, and receive personalised instruction during the training, as well as allowing for plenty of time f or each student to  practice class teaching. By the end of each training, you will have taught at least one (and usually several) full supervised classes with feedback.

A strong focus on injury prevention, yoga for individual needs, functional anatomy and bio-mechanics differentiates this training and the skills that you will learn.

The course is offered with a sincere desire to make the transformation that is yoga accessible, and to raise the general level of yoga teaching in our country.

The aim of this training will be to lay the foundations of understanding both the subject and ourselves, so that we may then offer guidance to others.

The course is offered in a one day per week format – March to December in Suffolk Park/Broken Head.

What differentiates this training above all else is its focus on learning how to MODIFY the classical practice of yoga to suit the needs of the individual. Flo Fenton has long been known for her ability to adapt the practice of yoga using props and variations of the classical postures, as well as using supplementary yoga practices and pranic work towards a specific outcome. In this way those with physical limitations, injuries or deeper health issues are able to safely and beneficially use yoga as a tool towards optimal health and well-being. This ability to adapt the practice to suit individual needs was at the heart of the teachings of Sri T Krishnamacharya, the teacher of BKS Iyengar, Sri K Pattbhi Jois, and TVK Desikachar. It is the basis of what is now called Yoga Therapy.
