Intro to TT 15/50hr
We are so excited to launch this new format for 2026. Starting this October, Mariza will guide you through 15 hrs of live online workshops covering anatomy, philosophy, yin yoga and the breath. To upgrade to 50 hours of learning, you are invited to Chamonix to take part in the first 3 days of Teacher Training, from November 5-8. An additional cost of £325 will be applied for those wishing to come to Chamonix
Each online session will be 3 hours, incorporating an introduction to each of our themes, followed by a guided practice with Mariza. This course can be taken as part of Teacher Training or as a stand alone course for anyone wanting to go deeper into the physical practice and experience more knowledge than 60 minute yoga classes alone can provide.
For those wanting to dive in to the full 200 hour qualification - along side the live online, there will be weekly live yoga sessions, pre records focusing on specific elements of anatomy, sequencing or asana, recommendations for gentle reading, and some recommended podcasts, before we go live in Chamonix this November (these hours combined get you to 25hrs total pre course work)
Module #1 The Bones
We will spend time learning and feeling the bones in our own bodies and those of the people around us.
We will learn how these bones are structured, how they fit together how they get stronger or weaker as we go through life.
We will identify the bony landmarks of the body - why these are relevant for us as yoga teachers, how they help us to connect with our students.
Practice one - moving from the bones.
Module #2 The Muscles
The different types of muscles found in the body, how they work and move. The ways in which yoga impacts the muscles
We will explore how muscles are made, the ways that they attach to each other and the bones and the types of movements they can make

We will come back to the bones and deep dive into the spinal column and pelvic girdle and understand the importance of these bones in a healthy yoga practice.
Our first pose - tadasana

Module#4 Prana & The Breath
How do we breathe? Why are so many of us breathing badly? And how does ‘bad breath’ affect us in daily life?
The difference between breathing in daily life and breathing during yoga.
What is happening at the chemical and physiological level when we breathe?
What does Prana mean, how does it travel in the body and why is the concept of prana so important in yoga?

A deep dive into the vagus nerve according to Jessica Maguire inclduing:
