About the course

Are you ready to become your most authentic, loving, peaceful, enthusiastic self? Our 200 hour Hatha Vinyasa teacher training program is an immersion into the science, philosophy, bodywork, movement, breath, self-study and life long learning of yoga.

Prepare for 4 months of transformational learning that will change your life. This course is a journey back to yourself. This course has been designed for those who want to teach yoga professionally, as well as those who wish to deepen their understanding & personal practice. It doesn’t matter if teaching yoga is the end goal or not. Let go of the outcome, your intention is what is important.

The word Yoga means Union. This training encourages you to re-connect, to unite with yourself, with the world around you, with your fellow humans and with universal consciousness in a tangible and authentic way. The yogic path creates a vehicle for self-transformation and insight through heart based learning, intuition, mind training and interpersonal relationships.

We recommend at least 6 months of regular, dedicated practice to commence this training. Course applications will be considered on a case by case basis. Experience in terms of advanced asana practice is NOT important. You are not required to ‘perform’ any particular asanas (it doesn’t matter if you can’t stand on your head) - your level of strength and flexibility does not matter. What is important is your willingness to step out of your comfort zone and lean in to challenge with an open heart and a tenacity and passion for learning. Course numbers are limited for a small intimate group setting for maximum learning and support.

All 200 hour students receive a free unlimited membership to all classes for the duration of the training. This training is registered with Yoga Alliance International.

Location.

Soul Tribe Studio is a beautiful, light filled and spacious studio with a beautiful courtyard for lunch. We even have some friendly peacocks who like to come and visit us from neighbouring Birdland. The studio is nestled in between the unspoiled, luscious rainforest and pristine, crystal water beaches of the Eurobodalla National Park. Far South Coast NSW is a true paradise! Address: Soul Tribe Studio, 57 Beach Road, Catalina, 2536.

Murrah Dream Retreat

Imagine yourself here. Waking up every day to the sound of birds and the ocean lapping beneath. Silent meditation at the lotus lake as the sun rises. Soul -ful yoga practices in the custom built sound dome. Exquisite breakfast prepared with love, using all local ingredients from our local chefs.

The morning spent diving deep into yoga philosophy, energy work, the physical body and all of its wonders, quantum biology, human design, manifestation, Yin Yoga and deep rest, meditation and soul connection.

A long, relaxing, languid lunch break, delicious nurturing food cooked for you, time to swim, surf, bask in the sun, relax in the hot tub, get a massage or Reiki treatment, bathe in the colloidal silver infused infinity pool, read books by the lotus lake, nap and connect with your new found yoga family.

The afternoon is spent in practice and workshops, self discovery and learning how to embody the principles of yoga, not just expertly teach downward facing dog (you learn that too!). Together we shine the light on your own patterns and habits, so we can understand what’s holding you back from living your fullest potential.

About Clare

Fundamentally I believe in love. I believe that humans are inherently loving, compassionate, generous and kind. I know that we all have the capacity to open our bodies, minds and hearts and live joyfully. My intention is to facilitate a space where others can be free and learn to fall in love with themselves, each other and the earth.

From an early age I have been fascinated by movement, play and the magic of the natural world. I love people and the earth and this love drives everything I do. My journey took me to the East Coast of Australia where I started practicing yoga. I felt my spirit return through sacred movement, breath and meditation. I realised that what I’d been searching for was inside me and I learnt the tools to connect with my own heart. I spent time immersing myself in the beauty of my surroundings, lounging in rivers, climbing mountains and falling asleep under the burning milky way. I fell back in love with the earth.

My passion for yoga grew as I started to understand that yoga isn’t something that we ‘do’ with our bodies, it is our natural state that we ‘are’. Yoga is simply a coming home, a journey back to ourselves. Through the practices of asana, philosophy and meditation I have realised the true nature of impermanence and understand that we do not ‘own’ anything. I know that my thoughts are real but not necessarily true. I have experienced the magic that happens when I think, act and speak from a place of love and trust. I believe in the power of the Earth. I believe that by living with respect, love and humility we can create a more peaceful world.

After a few years of dedicated practice, I completed my 200 hour teacher training under the guidance of master teacher Mathew Bergan at Dancing Warrior Yoga in Sydney in 2014. I fell in love with teaching immediately and even though the training was extremely challenging, I knew I had finally found my calling. I continued to train at Dancing Warrior Yoga for the next 4 years. I started teaching in 2014 and have dedicated my life to full-time teaching since then. I completed my 60 hour Yin teacher training with Sarah Powers in 2015 which changed my life and my practice completely. The practice of Yin, Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness meditation gave me the tools to develop an inner ‘genuine happiness’ that was not dependent on other people or external situations.’ I have taught at many major studios in Sydney as well as teaching yoga and mindfulness to organisations such as UNICEF and ABC Broadcasting. In 2018 I started Soul Tribe Studio and have been teaching classes, workshops and running teacher trainings here in Batemans Bay since then. I have been facilitating teacher trainings for over 6 years.

FAQ’s

I’m not able to do all of the yoga postures - does that matter?
Absolutely not. This is about the heart of yoga, the philosophy, the meditation, the way you live your life. The postures aren’t important, but over the 4 months you will find a lot more space and strength in body, heart and mind.

I dont want to teach yoga, will I still benefit from the course?
Yes definitely. Most people who take their training at Soul Tribe dont have the intention to teach yoga. This is a self development course that allows you to live in the most authentic way and will enhance everything else you’re doing in your life.

I do want to teach! Is it for me?
YES! They say the best way to master a skill is to teach it. I guide you to step out of your comfort zone and start teaching from the very first week. The skills you learn here transfer across every part of your life. You will learn how to teach in a very skilled way. A lot of our former students now teach at Soul Tribe :)

I cant make all the weekends. What happens?
You can live stream and I’ll record the session. Ideally you’re here in person for all weekends, but there are catch up sessions we can arrange if needed. There’s an online learning platform as a compliment to the course. You get lifetime access to this.

How much is the course? Is there a payment plan?
$4990 earlybird (paid in full by 30th June)
$5555 after June 30th and payment plan
Payment plan - monthly payments of $1000 (can spread it out over longer if needed, will arrange on a case by case basis)

Yes! You can teach anywhere in the world. You will need an up to date First Aid certificate and public liability insurance to teach.

‘Today was the end and the beginning of an amazing journey for me, a journey of self discovery, friendship, love and yoga! So grateful to have not only been able to complete yoga teacher training but to have also stripped back the layers to explore the person I really am, what I want in this life, what resonates with me and learn to embrace the person I truly am wholeheartedly, and be accountable for what I cultivate in my life.

'The life skills and yoga teaching skills I have learnt through this authentic, organic and creditable yoga journey are impactful, resourced and quality tested (by me and so many other amazing students) and the feedback - astonishing! To say that yoga has changed my life is a complete understatement. The gains, insight and knowledge I have embodied inspire me to educate and share all of the layers that yoga really is but most importantly being a way of living and being, a way of living and being that come to me at exactly the right time in my life and will now always be my way of living and being. My advice is don’t wait for yoga to find you.. go out and find yoga!' ~ Sarah
