DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE

Our training is designed to take you deeper into yourself and your practice, allowing the time and space for you to explore asana, pranayama and meditation to discover what yoga really means to you.

TEACH WITH CONFIDENCE

If your goal is to become a practicing teacher and get out there to teach a class right away, we will give you all the opportunities to build the necessary skills and confidence to teach a great Vinyasa, Hatha or Slow Flow class.

CONNECT WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE

We keep our training groups small at around 12 students so over the course of the time we spend together you have the opportunity to connect and create a community of yogis that can continue to support you.

A VINYASA FOUNDATION

The course is designed around a Vinyasa practice (Flow Yoga) but we will provide you with the tools to vary your sequencing and presentation to cater for teaching to service a wide variety of styles, students and environments.

ONGOING MENTORING

At the completion of the course you will qualify to enrol in the mentorship program which gives you the opportunity to receive ongoing support, professional development and feedback from your peers and the trainers.

Meet the Trainers

NICOLE ALLAN

Lead Trainer & Key Facilitator

Nicole has been practicing for over 12 years, but her 'real' yoga journey began in 2011 when she experienced the benefits of what a regular asana practice could do for the body and mind. She travelled to India to find out more, spending 3 months visiting Ashrams she experienced a taste of the traditional yogic lifestyle first hand. Upon returning home to New Zealand, Nicole spent 1 year full time training with the NZ School of Yoga (500RYT and Yoga Therapy). After starting her teaching career in 2012, she has trained further in Vinyasa (200RYT in Bali), and Acro Yoga (Level 1 Acro Yoga Teacher) along with numerous other workshops and trainings to broaden her understanding of the practice. Nicole is certified ERYT-500 and also holds a Diploma in Counselling & Psychology along with Reiki Masters (3a). In combination with ongoing study of Energy Psychology, she brings a passion for working with the subtle body to help her students understand themselves on a deeper level. Her classes can be light and playful at times, but she loves to invite students to cultivate interoception - knowledge and understanding of themselves from the inside out.

JOHN ALLAN

Trainer & Key Facilitator

A designer by trade, John has spent much of his life in the process of creation. From Graphic Design, to Urban Design and Garden Design there have been many outlets for his creative passion. John tried to avoid yoga for a good portion of his life but after it kept presenting itself in various forms he eventually dived in and has never looked back. Beginning with the dynamic practices of Acro-yoga, Aerial-yoga and even Yoga with Weights John explored the physical and creative aspects of the practice before doing Vinyasa Training in early 2016 (The first Raw Yoga Qualification) and began intensively teaching immediately following. Having trained in Animal Flow (Primal Movement) and Kids Yoga, John is not afraid of adding challenging and playful elements to his classes and is also passionate about inclusive and empowering classes with an element of meditative focus. For John, Yoga helped him understand and discover balance, how to move through stuck energy and find the flow, ease and grace of life. Self-study is now a cornerstone of John's full-time yoga life and he loves Yogic History and Philosophy and the depth of the scriptures and sacred texts.

I undertook this training to learn more about the physical (Asana) aspects of Yoga.  What I came away with after 200 hours of learning, was a true transformation in my being and my life.  
Yoga teacher training,  is so much more than just becoming a Yoga Instructor.  It has provided me with much more than any amount of therapy (physical and psychological) has ever provided me.  
At 48 years old it seemed like a crazy thing to be signing up for...but without a doubt the best decision I have made in a very, very long time (perhaps ever in my life!)
Yoga is the way that I found me...through movement, breath, a lot of self reflection, shared reflections, guidance, compassion and wisdom from the Raw training instructors and other trainees who brought their own wisdom. I learnt about how to listen and feel what my body and my heart needs from me to live a joyful and easeful life.  I can also put together and hold a space for people to practice their Asana.  Most importantly the way that John, Nicole and Kylie take you through this training, meant that I found a renewed passion for learning, a deep understanding of why Yoga is such a powerful, healing lifestyle and a way to navigate the world, in Peace.  
There were sticky moments, there was hard work, there was tears, laughter, nerves and excitement.  My advice is...leap in, trust that the “work, works!”, definitely the best time and money I have  ever spent on me.   This Is just the beginning of living my life in union...with me 🙏🏻
I cannot recommend or thank the Raw Yoga team enough, for this gift.

"Embarking on Raw Yoga's 200 hr YTT is all I could have asked for and more. John & Nicole offer an energy and space to learn and grow in the mental, spiritual and physical realm, which is so incredibly authentic. 
​I entered this training knowing I wanted to deepen my knowledge and practice of yoga and received far, far more. Simply put, I would do this training 10x over again. The contagious, vibrant and warm energy created and offered at Raw Yoga will surely keep me coming back for more! 
Truly a life-changing experience if you are considering doing YTT -- could not recommend it more. "
