200hr Yoga Teacher Training 2026
A Small, Mentored Training for Women Ready to Go Deeper
This 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is already forming.
A committed group of seven wonderful women is preparing to begin in 2026, and I am opening just 2–3 final places to complete the circle.
This training is not about rushing into teaching, performing on social media, or becoming someone else’s version of a yoga teacher.
It is for women who want to:
understand the body and the nervous system deeply
teach with integrity, clarity, and care
build confidence slowly, with real support
be held in a small, relational group — not lost in a crowd
If you’ve been quietly carrying the idea of training for a while, this is an invitation to explore it properly.
What makes this training different?
This is a small group, apprenticeship-style training.
You will be known by name.
You will be supported beyond the mat.
You will be guided by lived experience, not just scripts and sequences.
Over the years, many trainees have said the greatest value wasn’t just what they learned, but how safe and seen they felt while learning it.
This training draws on:
traditional yoga asana, philosophy, and meditation
somatic awareness and nervous-system regulation
functional anatomy and embodied sequencing
restorative, yin, and subtle practices
the realities of teaching real humans, in real bodies
It is grounded, spacious & real, taught by working yoga instructors, therapists and experts.
Who this training is for
This training is suitable if:
you love yoga and feel ready to deepen your relationship with it
you’re curious about teaching, but don’t want pressure or hype
you value depth, embodiment, and thoughtful learning
you want to train with women at a similar stage of life
you’re looking for mentorship — not just certification
You do not need to be:
hyper-flexible
loud or extroverted
ready to teach immediately
Many graduates go on to teach.
Some don’t — and still describe this as a life-changing year.
Both paths are welcome.

About your teacher…
Teaching yoga full-time since 2009, Bryony is the founder of Be Yoga Sussex and has mentored hundreds of students and many teachers through steady, long-term practice.
Her approach bridges a clear, evidence-informed understanding of the nervous system with heart-led, spacious, and creative movement. Training with the Minded Institute (neuroscience, mental health, and the nervous system) sits alongside influence from Shiva Rea’s embodied, devotional, and fluid approach to yoga, allowing teaching that holds both precision and soul.
Teacher trainings have been running for many years, with an emphasis on integrity, care, and real-world teaching. Those trained through this lineage have gone on to shape the wider yoga community — including the founder of Hotpod Yoga.
At the heart of this work is a belief that excellent teachers are shaped slowly: through time, practice, mentorship, and trust, rather than performance or pressure.
All Modules at Be Yoga Sussex, the weekends are in person, with an additional 35 hours online via Zoom.

An important note about places
This training is intentionally small.
Experience has shown us that groups of 10 - 12 work best for integrated learning, where each student receives support from the lead trainer
There are 2–3 places remaining for the 2026 group.
If you are interested, I encourage you to reach out for a conversation rather than waiting for a “perfect moment”. These are often the trainings people take when something inside them quietly says yes — even if they’re nervous.
