300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
January – December 2028 | Colchester, Essex
‘The depth and breadth of knowledge which Heidi shares with all of her heart is absolutely phenomenal and deeply transformative!’
The Lotus Love Yoga 300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training is a journey of refinement, embodiment and wisdom for qualified yoga teachers. It is an immersive experience for those who feel the quiet calling to deepen their knowledge, elevate their teaching skills and cultivate greater embodiment, confidence and authentic expression.
This training has been created for teachers who seek to inspire awareness, awakening and self-discovery within themselves and others. It is an invitation to move beyond the foundations of yoga and into the living heart of sadhana (practice), sangha (community) and seva (service).
Throughout the year, we journey through four immersive stages inspired by the wisdom cosmology of the Andes. Each stage reflects a different aspect of growth, guiding students through a journey of refinement, wisdom, leadership and integration.
Together we explore advanced asana workshops including arm balances, backbends and inversions; higher-level sequencing, transformative workshop creation, advanced assists, multi-lineage studies, the subtle body and pranayama, Ayurveda, retreat leadership, ritual and ceremony, seva yoga and embodied philosophy.
You will be supported by an exceptional faculty of guest teachers bringing expertise in Indian philosophy, advanced anatomy and physiology, Sanskrit, mantra and kirtan, restorative yoga, business and marketing and ocean literacy. Together we honour both the ancient lineage of yoga and the evolving contemporary practice of teaching.
As with all Lotus Love Yoga trainings, philosophy, symbolism, mythology and story are woven throughout the year, enriching both practice and teaching with depth, meaning and inspiration.
This training is not about becoming a different teacher.
It is about becoming more fully yourself.
It is about refining your skills, deepening your wisdom and discovering the unique expression of yoga that only you can share.
The teachings already live within you.
This journey invites them to unfold.
The Hummingbird symbolises curiosity, adaptability and the willingness to seek wisdom wherever it may be found. This first stage of the journey invites teachers to reflect on what they already know and how they can continue to evolve.
Through advanced asana workshops exploring arm balances, backbends and inversions, the alignment principles and refinement of advanced asana, and creative approaches to sequencing and workshop design, we elevate your own sadhana and enhance your understanding and articulation of advanced yoga practice. Through the intelligent use of props including blocks, straps, chairs, wheels and walls, we explore how support can create both accessibility and depth within practice, opening new possibilities for exploration and expansion. You will refine and enhance your teaching skills through the art of skilful observation, precise articulation and intelligent teaching practices in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Alongside your asana studies, you will explore the history of pranayama and techniques, the subtle body and esoteric practices with Heidi Pascual and Daniel Simpson.
This immersion encourages teachers to move beyond teaching asana and towards facilitating experiences that inspire self-awareness, empowerment and personal growth.

The Path of Refinement
The Snake represents transformation, renewal and the shedding of old perspectives. This stage invites us into the rich history, philosophy and theory that underpin yoga sadhana.
Together we explore the evolution of yoga from its earliest origins through the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gītā, Yoga Sūtra and Tantric traditions. Through the guidance of renowned author and philosopher Daniel Simpson, students develop a deeper understanding of the historical, philosophical and cultural landscape from which contemporary yoga has emerged.
This immersion also explores advanced anatomy and physiology with Chris Swain, deepening and expanding the foundations established within your initial teacher training. Sulekh Ruparell will guide you through a study of Sanskrit, mantra and kirtan. You will leave the training with increased confidence in using Sanskrit terms in your teaching and leading mantra and kirtan in your classes.
Through study, discussion and direct experience, students begin to embody these teachings beyond intellectual understanding. Philosophy becomes embodied wisdom, bringing greater depth, meaning and authenticity to both practice and teaching.

The Path of WISDOM
The Puma symbolises courage, confidence and mastery in action. This stage of the training supports teachers in stepping more fully into their role as leaders, facilitators and guides.
Through advanced assists and teaching practicums, students develop the skills required to lead with authenticity and integrity. You will study the practice of restorative yoga with Chris Swain. You will learn the anatomy and physiology that underpins this way of practising and develop the foundational skills to lead restorative yoga classes. You will study the principles of Ayurveda with Heidi Pascual. You will learn elemental and doshic theory and how to integrate these concepts into your sadhana and classes. We explore Ayurveda as self-care for yoga teachers and how to live yoga beyond your mat as a way of life.
We explore how to create and facilitate transformative retreats, hold space for community and nurture environments where friendship, belonging and connection naturally emerge. Marketing, community building and professional development are approached as extensions of service, enabling teachers to share their offerings with integrity whilst creating sustainable and abundant careers.
Throughout this immersion, students refine their unique teaching voice and develop the confidence to share their knowledge with clarity, purpose and heart.

The Path of LEADERSHIP
The Condor represents vision, perspective and the ability to see beyond the immediate horizon. This final stage invites students to step back and view yoga within the wider context of community, service and the world around us.
Through designing and delivering a seva yoga project in your community, engaging with ocean literacy studies and participating in ritual, ceremony and leadership experiences, students are invited to consider the wider impact of their teaching and the role yoga can play in cultivating conscious leadership, environmental stewardship and meaningful community connection.
A unique educational visit to a Hindu Temple provides an opportunity to experience aspects of Indian spiritual culture beyond the training environment, whilst group ritual, reflection and community celebration support the integration of the year’s learning.
The training culminates in final teaching assessments, community celebration and graduation. Students leave with an expanded perspective on what it means to embody the philosophy of yoga, and to teach from a place of wisdom, presence and lived experience.

The Path of VISION
Yoga is not a destination.
It is a continual unfolding.
Throughout this training you will deepen your practice, challenge your assumptions, refine your teaching and strengthen your connection to the traditions that inspire yoga. You will share the journey with a dedicated sangha of fellow teachers who will support, encourage and inspire one another throughout the year and beyond.
The Lotus Love Yoga 300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training is an invitation to continue the path with curiosity, courage and an open heart.
To deepen your practice, refine your teaching and embody the wisdom of yoga more fully in every aspect of your life.
