You need to have already completed an accredited 200 hour course and then all hours accrued from individual modules are gathered towards a 300-hour certification. If your 200-hour training is with Yoga Alliance you can go on to claim RYT-500-hour status. Most modules are also available as stand-alone CPD courses, should you decide not to opt for the full 300-hour programme. Many of these are also YACEP registered.

Teaching Faculty

This collaborative teacher training formed between the Shala School of Yoga and Yoga Treat, has a faculty that comprises an incredible team of senior teachers who have run a plethora of teacher trainings including 200-hour programmes and advanced trainings. Everyone on our hand-picked team has a wealth of teaching experience (usually 15+ years) and a huge depth of knowledge in their specialised subject area. Here are some of the teachers who teach on our training programmes.

Our Mission

Our mission is to cultivate teachers to truly find their unique and authentic voice, supporting and inspiring you to follow your own passions within the vast realm of yoga. We are committed to passing on our years of teaching experience and empowering yoga teachers to evolve and deepen their knowledge on their path as teachers.

A 200-hour Level 1 training is just the beginning of a teacher’s journey and our Level 2, 300-hour programme is devised to ensure continued growth and evolution happens at a pace that is sustainable and attainable.

The programme will continue to challenge, refuel and inspire you as a teacher, expanding your knowledge, increasing your confidence and nurturing and supporting you on your yogic path to be the best teacher you can be.

How the 300-hour Training Programme Works

In order for you to attain our 300-hour level 2 yoga teacher training certificate, there are three mandatory components making up 110 hours:

The remaining 190 hours can be gathered from a broad selection of modules, taken in any order, in the UK or abroad, online or in studio and at any point in time (within a period of 5 years). It is useful, where possible, to do the Beyond Asana – The Inner Path of Teaching Yoga Core module in your first year of studying with us, but not essential.

You can effectively create your own bespoke programme: choose the focus, choose the dates, even choose the format and spread the payments. It is also possible to do some modules with us and then retrospectively allocate those to the 300-hour programme (as long as you have not registered those modules for CPD hours).

If you have a 200-hour accredited by a different governing body such as Yoga Alliance Professionals (UK), you may still enroll on our 300-hour programme, you just will not be able to combine the 200 + 300 into one certification.

Teacher Emma Landolt

Emma has been a passionate and dedicated yoga practitioner for more than 15 years and has been teaching since 2013. She initially turned to yoga to help a shoulder injury and was greatly inspired by the healing transformation that took place in her body as her yoga practice deepened. Her love of yoga took her to India where she trained to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, a combination of the traditional Ashtanga practice and a more contemporary Flow style.

Emma shares her ever evolving practice in regular classes and workshops in South London and leads retreats in India, Sri Lanka, Colombia and Europe. She has completed numerous teacher trainings; Inversions with Patrick Beach, Ashtanga with David Swenson, Yin Yoga with Josh Summers, Rocket, Mandala, Yin and Tripsichore with The Yoga People and Yoga Nidra with Uma Dinsmore Tuli. She is a registered Teacher with Yoga Alliance with more than 600 hours of training.

Her background in dance and Capoeira, teaching both during her twenties, has infused her yoga with the joy and poetry of physical movement. She uses this passion to create dynamic, flowing, dance-like sequences, which she guides her students through gracefully, joining the movements with breath and creating a feeling of lightness, ease and deep relaxation for her students. Her love of handstands and inversions brings a sense of fun and play to her offering.

Her teaching fuses elements of Rocket and Mandala styles, and she often mixes this dynamic practice with Yin Yoga to balance the sometimes physically challenging Yang style of Vinyasa. Her classes often include Yoga Nidra, the sacred yoga of sleep, as a guided meditation for true awakening. She uses breathwork, intention and philosophy to deeply relax and calm the nervous system, encouraging students to let go of the narratives in the mind and to drop into true Being. Her classes encourage awareness energetically, physically and spiritually. Emma creates a positive, nurturing environment for students to learn, experiment and transform through their yoga practice. Her classes empower and inspire students to rediscover their own sacred space which they can return home to again and again.

Elemental Yoga Nidra Teacher Training IN STUDIO

Rey Krysler — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 23:51:47 +0000

Elemental Yoga Nidra Teacher Training | IN STUDIO or VIRTUAL LIVESTREAM

Emma Landolt | 26 Wed (Online intro session) + 29-30 August 2026 | Price: £350 | 20 hours

This 20-hour Elemental Yoga Nidra Training is a deep immersion into the art and practice of Yoga Nidra, explored through the wisdom and alchemy of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and air.

The intention of Elemental System is to honour and invoke the elements as both inner forces and external energies. Through this embodied practice, we reconnect to the deep knowing that we are not separate from nature – we are nature. The elements live within our breath, bones, emotions, and spirit. By attuning to them, we cultivate presence, balance, and alignment with the greater rhythms of life.

Elemental Yoga Nidra Content

On Day 1 we will explore the grounding and fluid qualities of Earth and Water, learning how to create safe, nourishing containers for rest, emotional release and journeys into the waters of the unconscious.

On Day 2, we turn to the activating and expansive forces of Fire and Air, working with practices that bring transformation, energy, clarity and openness. Each element will be introduced through both science and mysticism, offering a grounded yet expansive framework for using the elements in practice design.

You will learn the foundations of Yoga Nidra including its history, methods, and proven benefits, as well as the skills to confidently design and guide Nidra sessions. Together we will practice the traditional Yoga Nidra journey I have learned from Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and have taught for the past six years.

* prayer / settling / breath / grounding / cycles / geometric doorways / chakra awareness / sankalpa opposites / spaciousness / return. *

In addition to receiving guided practices, participants will work in small groups to practice leading their own Yoga Nidras, and will complete a short assignment in the form of a written script or voice recording.

This training is designed for yoga teachers, healers, facilitators, and dedicated practitioners who wish to deepen their relationship with Yoga Nidra and the elements, while gaining practical tools for guiding others and themselves into states of deep rest and transformation.
