Sherrie is Co- Director of The British School of Thai Yoga and teaches classes in London + Dorset. An advanced Thai massage practitioner with a practice in Beckenham.

This course is primarily designed for existing yoga teachers as an additional form.

There are TWO starts per year, April and September. Each 8 days – plus class presentation – Fee: £550

DVD and manual provided. Within one month on completion of 6 day course students will need to arrange, present and teach a class for examination.

Course students will learn unique teaching skills required for this style of class, to attain and then re-tain a ‘meditative’ state throughout. After 4 classes your students should be able to do most of the class with their eyes closed. Thai Yoga is a flow of 100 movements, from one position to the next working ‘with’ gravity, using the breath to help facilitate timing so allowing time for the body to sink and relax into maximum stretch with no holding, working mainly on the floor. A harmony of breath + meditative movement. It has been described as ‘Tai Chi’ on the floor. Both teacher and student have said that it is ‘like no other style’ in the way Thai Yoga moves, releasing and opening – especially the hip flexors, pelvic area, lower back to Achilles tendon. Western style of sitting on chairs plus modern life patterns, has created a multitude of imbalances, misalignments and shallow breathing. The ‘not enough time’ stress factor has for many virtually disengaged the para sympathetic state which enables the body to become natural relaxed. A Thai Yoga class developes listening skills, embraces universal energy, replenishes chi, re-minds the body not to hold, teaches patience to relax allowing courage to go deep. Gentleness with no competition. This style can welcome those who maybe find standing postures too challenging yet are able to work alongside those advanced. Let us all be able to put on our own socks at 90 plus! Extremely rewarding as a teacher.
We are constantly being asked “Where can we find a class in our area?” Hence the school needs to train teachers – Join us….:-)

The course includes:

On completion the student will be able to teach a 1hr, 1.1/2hr or 2hr class, for all levels, using specialised teaching skills to a high level.

This is an intensive course which consists of three, three day week ends plus a Class presentation assessment.
