300 hour advanced teacher training, in person with Jane Craggs and online with Dr Ganesh Mohan and AG and Indra Mohan.

This course has been refined over decades of application by the Mohan family and is one of the most authentic and comprehensive yoga therapy courses available. The 300hrs Yoga Alliance certification forms the foundation for 800 C-IYAT but it is also possible to take individual modules if that feels more relevant and accessible for you.

The in-person training consists of 16 weekends over 18 months and 10 hours of personal mentoring, starting in April 2023 and finishing September 2024. All in-person training takes place at our beautiful, fully equipped studio at Nurture.

The online component consists of 16 hours with Jane, 30hrs Foundations of Ayurveda with Ganesh Mohan and 40hrs mentoring with the Mohans.

The training can be taken over an 18 month period, or spread over 3 years to make it more sustainable financially and energetically.

The modular system is designed for greater flexibility and individual modules can also be taken as CPD for this not wishing to commit to the full training.

A practical and playful, student centred approach to illuminating what is within you!

Submerge yourself into this Yoga Alliance accredited Yin Yoga Training and learn to share the subtle meditative qualities of this practice. Created from a blend of the ethereal sciences of the East and the material sciences of the West, Yin Yoga is all about balance.

This training takes place over 8 days, from 6th-13th October 2024 and uses lectures and guided practice to develop a conceptually diverse understanding with extensive first-hand experience.

Yin Yoga brings your awareness through the tissues of your body releasing tension layer by layer. Becoming well versed in Yin Yoga is like being able to apply a deep tissue massage to your body with your mind. Making that experiential connection to all you have heard or read about Chi you can begin to find a new way to experience your body.

This curriculum emphasizes the balance between Eastern (ethereal) and Western (material) sciences. With an in depth exploration of meditation, subtle anatomy and physical anatomy learn to teach the subtle qualities of Yin Yoga. Using lectures and guided practice you will develop your own strategies for teaching and working with students to guide them to listen to their body. The deeper you go with your training and self-exploration the more you can help students learn from their own bodies to create a deep tissue massage with their mind.

Course Structure

The training consists of 4 primary formats of imbuing the content. Our focus is on practicing the content via guided Yin sessions and Meditation techniques alongside significant practice of each pose in our Asana Lab. Providing the groundwork for the practice are the lectures which are presented via projector and slide show. Dialogue plays an important role throughout in connecting the content with each student and addressing their questions. Finally the course requires some at home study prior to and during the training to ensure that the individual students are processing the material in their own way. This is accomplished through readings, journaling and an essay. There are no formal tests in the course as we maintain an ongoing evaluation of student comprehension through various means including the Teaching Practicum at the end (don’t worry we keep it super casual and are there to support you in each moment).

Who is your Teacher Trainer?

TJ grew up as an artist and fully and completely embraced that lifestyle for the first half of his life. Art was always about self exploration for him and as a romantic at heart, his art expressed personal evolution and expansion. Creating things that would challenge his understanding of himself, it was always about breaking through to some new, undiscovered space within him. This course of inquiry led him to Buddhism and he quickly immersed himself entirely while still pursuing Art.

Having always taught local art classes to kids, TJ became a Middle School Art Teacher and although he loved this role, the responsibilities of teaching stirred a deeper need for the calming practices he’d discovered when exploring Buddhism, Taoism, Zen and Yoga. He began to feel that schooling systems were unsupportive for his own wellbeing and one summer, after reading Bernie Clarks’s Complete Guide to Yin Yoga, he completed three training courses and was so inspired that he made the brave decision to leave teaching to pursue a yogic path. And so his adventure began.

Over many years, TJ’s yoga journey has led to creation of YUJUMU, his very own comprehensive yin yoga teacher training programme. Your training is supported by comprehensive resources including TJ’s own book, Yin Nuance with foreword by Bernie Clark and included in this course as your training manual.

TJ’s passion for yoga and sense of fun are infectious and his experience as a teacher means course delivery is seemless whilst allowing space for enquiry for your own personal development and evolution as a student or teacher.
