200 hour hybrid Yoga Teacher training & graduate in italy 2027
a hybrid Yoga Teacher Training
Have you ever thought about becoming a yoga teacher - to share something that’s transformed your life, with others?
Our 200-hour Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training in Leeds is designed for those who feel called to explore teaching, or who want to deepen their understanding and practice of yoga in a fully immersive, in-person environment. Delivered entirely in person in Leeds, this training allows you to learn through embodied practice and direct mentorship.
At The Yoga Solution, we blend the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern neuroscience to help you not only teach yoga with confidence - but to live it.
This Hybrid yoga teacher Training Is Perfect For
This hybrid 200-hour yoga teacher training is designed for committed practitioners who want depth - but also require flexibility.
It may be perfect for you if:
You don’t live near Leeds
You would prefer to train from home for much of the course
You’re balancing work, family or other commitments
You want the structure and accountability of live teaching - without relocating for days at a time
You’re drawn to immersive learning, but can’t commit to being in one place full-time
You love the idea of completing your training with an intensive graduation week in Italy - where everything comes together
The hybrid structure allows you to absorb anatomy, philosophy and methodology gradually through live online blocks - giving you time to reflect, integrate and practise between sessions. Then, during our in-person graduation week in Italy, you’ll step fully into teaching.
This training is built on three solid foundations
safety first
In person, you’ll learn to teach yoga in a way that’s safe, accessible and supportive to every body, and every nervous system. Through anatomy exploration, and live feedback, you can expect to develop strong skills to adapt your yoga offerings for varying energy levels, strengths and emotional states.
science-informed
In Leeds, you can expect to learn WHY yoga is so impactful on how we feel, through exploring the neuroscience of stress, and how yoga regulates the mind and body, including the relationship between the amygdala and the pre-frontal cortex, the two stress responses and more.
embodiment and growth
Underpinning all aspects of teaching yoga absolutely has to come from embodiment. This training supports your personal practice of yoga, and your personal journey (it’s cheesy, but it’s true!)

Social media for yoga teachers
the neuroscience of stress and yoga
Stress isn’t just a feeling - it’s a full-body physiological response. Chronic activation of the stress system can affect sleep, digestion, focus and mood.
Through this training, you’ll explore how yoga supports recovery and resilience by working directly with the nervous system, including how the breath calms the amygdala (part of the fear detection network) and strengthens the prefrontal cortex (responsible for rational and calm thinking).
We’ll also deeply explore how mindful movement and interoception (the awareness of internal sensations) help release stored tension in the mind and body, and of course, how yoga calms the stress responses - with evidence.
By the end of this training, you won’t just know how to teach yoga — you’ll understand why yoga works to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
how this hybrid training works
online learning blocks
each block will take place on zoom, you do not need to pay for a software license.
each day will look a bit like this:
8:30 - sadhana
The day starts with our sadhana, a daily practice of chanting, pranayama - breathing techniques and meditation. This gets us set up for a day of learning, and it's amazing how the day-on-day practice compounds to bring peace and calm.
9:00 - yoga teaching practice!
Right from day 2, you'll teach your fellow trainees a yoga class in breakout rooms on zoom, with Holly popping in, in order to give constructive feedback.
10:30 - breakfast breatk
Lovely long break, including time for breakfast (needed after the morning sadhana and yoga practice!)
11:00 - anatomy lectures.
Learning anatomy online can be so beneficial; it gives us the opportunity to look at bones, muscles and joints from many different angles, plus we’ll dive into applied anatomy with techniques and exercises to feel what we’re learning in your own body.
12:30 - lunch break
1:30 - philosophy lectures
Taking a concept, a key text or a yoga teacher as inspiration, and breaking down the learnings, how this fits with wider philosophy, how we can share this in an accessible but enjoyable and inspiring way with others. For example, in the text the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the second statement is 'yoga is the settling of the mind in to silence' - which reminds us that our yoga goes beyond the physical practice. So, if hamstrings are tight or the back is a bit sore, we can still practice yoga in an incredibly beneficial way (which might be sitting and breathing!)
3:00 - asana clinic
Taking an asana and breaking it down; adding another layer on to our anatomy studies from the morning, practicing verbal instructions, physical adjustments and much more.
4:30 - practise
Either more teaching practice, or be led through a class. Either way, this is a gorgeous way to round up a day of learning!

integration between blocks
between the blocks, we encourage you to keep up with your sadhana - your daily practice, and to dive in to teach your friends and family, too. You can expect full support and guidance to keep going when life gets life-y, to set up your own mini yoga classes to get experience and much more.

This is as much a retreat, as it is a training.
Away from the jobs, to do lists and challenges of every day life, you can fully immerse yourself in the transition from yoga teacher trainee, to yoga teacher.
