“I took the SPY course knowing I wanted to teach yoga, but also searching for something more... something to ground me as a person, to centre and focus me. I was a bit of a mess before the course and even more of a mess during the course, frequently leaving the Sunday classes with teary eyes, feeling weary and looking dishevelled, confused, tired and yet somehow inspired and driven."

"This course breaks you down and builds you back up as the better, more centred, more focused you. You cannot lie to yourself through this course and you cannot cheat it, you just have to pour your heart and soul into it, and your every waking (and sleeping) moment... And only then do you fully receive the amazing gift this course, Anne- Marie and her team offers you. Be prepared to meet friends for life, cry, laugh, struggle, and blossom and most importantly, BREATHE. It’s 3months of hard work but even more rewarding because of it!”

SUN POWER YOGA TEACHER TRAINING COURSES

WHATS THE BUZZ?

What indeed? Sun Power Yoga came from working on the mat, not from a book or a simple idea, but mindfulness and dedication. It became an organic and authentic marriage of more than one training and form. It's fluid, graceful and empowering.


















Anne-Marie Newland, Founder and Course Director, is the visionary and heart behind the school. She is passionate about making Yoga accessible to all...meaning those from a challenged social background (as well as cultural and economic) are catered for.

Anne-Marie is an Iraqi with an English Mother, very poor as a child, and gaining a scholarship to ballet school she saw plenty of injustice based on economic poverty. As a single mother of 4 and breadwinner she champions those who need some help to improve their lives and because of this offers low priced training with lots of payment options and options to funding. Our courses are always full these days; a testament to the niche Sun Power Yoga now fills.

These days we travel, change our lives more than once and need to be able to work where ever we lay our mat.

We are unique in that we are one of the highest accredited schools. We have been established since 2003 and trained hundreds of teachers who are busy, happy and living a way of life based on compassion and endeavour and most importantly left our school prepared for a diverse and deeply mindful life as a teacher.

Sun Power Yoga Teacher Training is a Level 3 internationally recognized diploma. Issued in the UK the qualification is a YMCA/CYQ REPS LEVEL 3 and YOGA ALLIANCE 200HRS.

Sun Power Yoga is an eclectic mix of three traditional styles: Sivananda for subtle mind and breath work, Iyengar-style yoga for alignment, and Ashtanga Vinyasa for heat, stamina, and flexibility.
