Active Balance Yoga Teacher Training

I thoroughly enjoyed the three-day Active Balance Meditation Teacher Training programme! Rosewell Centre in Castle Bytham is a beautiful and tranquil space - perfect for meditation. The programme presented a holistic approach to delivering a meditation class. Stefan introduced us to a range of techniques and practices that we can use to structure a class in three stages - stretch, breathe and meditate. The programme was very practical; from day-one, we were presented with lots of opportunities to teach. Whilst this could potentially be quite daunting, with Stefan's guidance and the respect and support of all participants, we created a 'safe space' to explore our potential as meditation teachers! On completion of the training programme, I feel that I am well equipped to plan and structure meditation classes. The manual covers all the theory presented during the programme as well as clear guidance on how to teach the stretches, breathwork, and meditation techniques. I will definitely refer back to it when planning my classes!"

I've been studying Yoga Teacher Training with Stefan and Active Balance Yoga for 2 months now and I'm loving every minute! The weekend of training each month is intensive but fun, relaxed and at a pace we can all cope with. I am so excited for each weekend, but also motivated and enthusiastic to keep up my own personal yoga practice and teaching friends and family. I can feel my mind and body learning in a way I never expected. Stefan's method of teaching is superb. So much time is given to making sure we really understand the practice and theory, so the learning becomes part of you. If you're considering learning to teach yoga and in particular with Stefan - Do it! It will be one of the best decisions you have ever made. Thankyou Stefan!

I've recently attended the meditation teacher training course with Active Balance. It's a great course that I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is completely new to holistic meditation and wants to find out about it, or a person with some experience who would like to teach meditation. Stefan has an amazing breadth of knowledge of the subject, both theoretical and practical and students spend much of the course working together to practice the skills and techniques. All round an excellent course and I'm looking forward to other meditation courses.

Excellent course. I enjoyed every single minute of the three days training. Stefan is a very empathic, supportive and knowledgeable trainer, and I strongly recommend the course as a way to improve your inner life. Many thanks to the whole group, from which I learned a lot.

I've just completed my 2nd weekend of teacher training with Active Balance Yoga and Stefan at the Rosewell Centre, Castle Bytham. I was apprehensive when I first started as I wasn't totally sure I wanted to teach and thought the weekends might be too long but I was so wrong. The time just flies by listening to Stefan's amazing teachings and insights into yoga and the history and theory of it. I have never practiced for more than about 1 hour in any one session but we complete over 2 hours practice in the morning and it just doesn't seem like it. Stefan gives lovely clear instructions and keeps the session flowing but pauses when necessary for teaching points or just to give us a short rest! I'm so excited about my journey to becoming a yoga teacher now and wish we could train every weekend. I highly recommend this training and if you get a lovely group like mine it'll make the experience even better. Thank you Stefan Caroline
