The 300 Hour Certificate in a nutshell:
Start your journey at Meadowlark Yoga with a foundational 200Hour Yoga Training, and gradually work your way up to a 500Hour Certificate.
The 200Hour Yoga Training Certificate
Immerse yourself in the study of yoga. This 200Hour course gives you the opportunity to deepen your practice and allows you to begin sharing your passion. The course is unique in Scotland, combining the 50+ years experience of the contributing YT faculty. Our teaching faculty are professional & accomplished yoga teachers, with world-class expertise in a healthy range of specialities within this field; such as asana, anatomy, chanting, philosophy, restorative and community building.
The Avid Yogi approach is energetic, yet relaxed and inclusive. Trainees can expect to prioritise their personal practice under the guidance of our teachers. Day by day, trainees will gain confidence within the group by practising their growing knowledge of basic class instruction. Very early in the training, all members of the group will get their feet wet in the fundamentals of leading a group through a basic yoga practice and from there transformation happens on an individual basis.
Based on the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, the Avid Yogi approach to YT embraces Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga and the asana disciplines that have emerged since the start of the 20th century. With a survey of classical texts such as The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, The Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Bhagavad Gita, the Avid Yogi Training Course is a fundamental training for anyone interested in taking their practice to the next level of study.
Whether you aspire to become a yoga teacher or not, this course will broaden lifelong horizons.

The school created a really supportive environment and a variety of teaching methods were used, which kept it diverse and interesting using lots of practical work. For example, paint to study anatomy which was enjoyable, helpful group work and the chance to practice adjustments and assist and observe teaching. There was also the opportunity to practice teaching and gain feedback which I found invaluable.*
‘Great teaching. In-depth anatomy focus. Great preparation for the world of yoga teaching. Thank you!’
Completing this Intensive Yoga Training course has not only improved my practice, but it’s also changed my life for the better. It’s an excellent course. Everyone should do it! My practice has changed completely since I started the course. I am stronger & more focused and I just want to keep learning! The curriculum is thorough and clear and the teachers are knowledgeable and inspiring. I loved every minute of it. I got so much more than I ever expected!*
