Seasonal Yoga Origins
Seasonal Yoga was created by Fitness guru and Yoga Teacher Julie Hanson and colleague Sue Woodd, an expert in many areas of Eastern practices including Qigong, tai chi and shiatsu. Their approach blends yoga with traditional energy practices from the Taoist 5 Element System, working in harmony with changes in the Seasons.
The Seasonal Yoga School has trained over 1500 yoga teachers worldwide and now for the first time is available in East Anglia. Seasonal Yoga Teacher Training courses go far beyond the Yoga Alliance (International) standard requirements for a 200 hour accredited teacher training course.

The 12 module course (1 weekend per month) includes Yogic philosophy, Asanas (postures), Kriyas (purification techniques), Pranayamas (breathing techniques), Anatomy and Physiology, Meditation (The Self Enquiry method of Ramana Maharishi), the energy systems of the body, Qigong and other traditional energy practices.

Previous Teacher Training courses
Here’s what students have said about previous Teacher Training courses
“The last 12 months have been an amazing journey and I have grown and developed in more ways than I could have imagined. I can’t possibly explain in a few sentences everything that I have gained. I am not sure if I want to teach, that was never my intention but I it has given me the belief in myself to know that I can, should I choose to.
I can’t thank the course leaders Rachel and Melissa enough, and of course my lovely fellow students. They were all amazing and so supportive, we formed a very special bond. Rachel is a wonderful teacher and assisted by Melissa they really are the perfect combination.”
S.K. – Letchworth
“It doesn’t really matter if you ultimately want to teach or not, I would recommend this teacher training to anyone who is looking to learn, grow and explore a way of practicing that aligns to nature and the seasons… it just makes sense and I feel so much more connected to the things that really matter in life. Truly inspiring”
T.P. – Letchworth
“Seasonal yoga teacher training has provided me with a wonderful environment in which to explore and develop my understanding, and practice of yoga and the Chinese 5 seasons elemental system. The course material is extensive, with guest lecturers most months but the teaching and support provided by Rachel and Melissa has been exceptional. They are with you every step of the way offering support and advice. I strongly recommend this course to anyone thinking of taking that next step on their yoga journey, you won’t regret it.”
A.T. – Letchworth
“Personally, it’s been life-changing…and for someone who is getting on in life, I wish I’d introduced myself to Yoga and experienced the Foundation course and then this SYTT course many years ago!… I’m learning so much from Rachel and Melissa, and my fellow students are a joy to spend time with, to learn with and from”
