200 RYT® Teacher Training

Once a year we offer a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training adventure to just 12 students. This year we began on 22nd February and we will complete on the full moon of the 22nd June.(Part time over 4 months) This journey is intended to be a yogic teaching experience that is illuminating, challenging, heart opening and inclusive. Space School is committed to offering a motivating certification programme. We are internationally recognised with the new 200 hour RYT credentialing from Yoga Alliance®.
If you are inspired to be part of our 2025 journey – contact us.

Deepen & broaden your knowledge about history & philosophy and understand what we practice and why; Discover the art & careful craft of teaching skilfully & authentically.
We recognise that some students may purely immerse themselves in an adventure, without choosing to ultimately be a teacher. Instead they come to learn, grow and flourish within an encouraging community.
‘How do I deepen & enjoy my practices more easily?’ ; What if my happiness wasn’t dictated by whatever aches or pains I have right now?
What are you waiting for?

100 hr Meditation Training 2024

‘Awake Now’ is our special 100 hour Meditation Programme.

Our intention is to create a meditation environment, where you learn methods & principles for cultivating and strengthening inner stillness, calmness and a lightness wherever you may be. We draw from many streams and heart-centred practices & experiences, for this special professional development training. You may already have a long & stable commitment to meditation practices and you are now feeling called to deepen & expand what you know and what you experience. Or in a different way, your meditation journey might be relatively fresh and this special kaupapa inspires you to voyage out from wherever you are right now.
Your teachers on this programme are Lana Bright, Sarah Morley & Oliver Ferry.
We begin this beautiful offering with a 5 day silent retreat – you choose which retreat suits you best – Taupo in May, Otaki in September, the Coromandel over labour weekend in October.
If you feel inspired by this, please send us an email and we can begin with sending you more information. info@spaceyoga.nz

We are a registered Continuing Education provider, with the internationally recognised global organisation Yoga Alliance®. This certification training programme, therefore, also supports the professional development of yoga teachers. (Every 3 years RYT®s – yoga & meditation teachers – are required to complete 45 continuing education hours.)

200 RYT® CURRICULUM

S p a c e School’s yogic lineage has ancient roots, which we trace back 3,000 years to the seeds of wisdom from the sages of the Upanishads. Questions that yogis were asking then may also resonate with you: What do I give my energy to?; What gives me energy? ; How can I be calm?

The style that we teach is modern & also classical: traditional practices have been developed and then infused with modern day wisdom, insights & science. The practices students will immerse themselves in are: Mindful Yin and Yang Asana, Meditation, Pranayama, Subtle Body Practices. Within these practices students will come to know History, Philosophy, Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, Ethical Principles and of course know how to teach others. S p a c e has also developed 5 unique Guiding Principles. These Guiding Principles are deeply supportive in orientating us, offering clarity, focus and greater ease.

200 RYT® Part Time

This journey is populated with workshops, nestled around 8 weekends. Over 4 months you will get to experience a deep and deepening virtuous cycle of learning and reflecting, resting, practicing and integrating. This cycle begins with learning in S p a c e, follows with exploring your learnings away from S p a c e in your own way and then returns you again and again like this. Students will explore & embody yogic practices & principles, reflect & engage in dialogue, study and learn to be teachers together.

We offer this training in the beautiful environment of Space. It is taught as eight integrated Modules, with some weekends being longer than others. We include personalised mentoring, so that we support you along the way. There are also 2 Thursday evening Labs to enjoy. And we include 20 hours of engaging online study, that you take in your own private time, that explores Anatomy, Physiology & Biomechanics.
