The course has flexible starting times so once signed up our trainees will have access to their online portal and learning material. You can begin your journey to becoming a qualified yoga instructor and work at a pace that suits you. We will be inviting you for several practical workshops that will likely take place on Thursday nights, but this may change depending on the studio timetables.

It is likely that the course will take 6 months to complete but can be modified to suit individual needs. Written coursework will be completed in the first half of the course, and when you're ready you can book in for your mock final practical exam woo hoo!

We are committed to offering flexible learning options, and will support students with different access needs and offer online and catch up options to practical sessions if dates are unsuitable. 

The cost of the course is £995. The cost of the course can if necessary, can be paid in instalments. 

On graduation from the course, students will receive a R1SE 200 hours urban yoga teacher training qualification. The qualification is endorsed by Active IQ, the UK’s leading fitness industry regulator, and graduates are eligible for professional insurance through Towergate Insurance Company. This qualification is a unique signature qualification exclusive to R1SE which equips students with the same yoga teaching knowledge and skill as found on a traditional yoga teaching training course, but also an understanding of the R1SE signature movement styles and business management. This course is independent of traditional yoga regulators Yoga Alliance and British Wheel of Yoga, allowing us to offer a course that is specifically oriented towards delivering modern urban yoga that speaks to modern lifestyles and is geared towards careers in the fitness industry. This qualification may be used to pursue a yoga teaching career in gyms and studios, or at R1SE. 

• Tutors Rosie, Jen and Chris together bring decades of experience in the health and fitness industry and in teaching yoga.

  Rosie has over 5000 hours and 8 years of experience teaching yoga and Pilates, and has been practicing yoga for almost 20 years. Rosie has also undertaken qualifications in pregnancy yoga and personal training and generally LOVES all things sweaty, fun and fitness.  Rosie has been smashing out classes since day one, and behind the scenes is responsible for programming and music. Off the mat, Rosie has worked as a university lecturer and tutor for 5 years and will be combining her wealth of experience on the mat and love of learning to support you becoming the best yoga teacher you can be on this course. Rosie will be your main contact for support, advice, coursework and will be co-delivering the practical workshops with Jen.

  Jen has been practising yoga for 14 years and has been qualified to teach for the last 3. Before setting up R1SE she was a full-time Mum to three children and before that a secondary school Physical Education teacher for 10 years. Being a business owner, she has experienced most roles within the company, so has a good overview of what it takes to run a successful yoga business.

  Jen will be bringing her knowledge of movement, the body and teaching to the Teacher Training plus her passion for helping others become their best selves, all served up with a healthy dollop of fun!

  Chris started his career in business whilst at university (studying Business and Management) at the age of 19 buying and renovating properties to house students.  This led to him becoming a financial adviser before swapping self-employment to become the youngest Director at Zurich Financial Services.  Disappointed with some of the corporate ethics Chris and his twin brother Rob started to set up many financial services and property companies culminating in having several hundred sales consultants.  The money was great, the hours were terrible, and his health suffered (not to mention hardly seeing his 3 kids).  

  So, at the age of 42 Chris knew that a total change of industry and lifestyle was required.  From being a 90kg, red wine swilling, meat eating, financial services junkie he became a 70Kg, ultra-marathon running, sober, meditating yogi and absolutely loved it.

  This led to Chris and Jen establishing R1SE Urban Yoga in January 2018. With vast experience of sales, process and marketing Chris can’t wait to support you in realising your dreams.

   

The R1SE style of urban yoga is built around a functional, fitness oriented movement system that aims to meet modern lifestyle needs in a fun and funky way! We have a growing family of class styles including Flex, Flow, Power, Chill, Sculpt, Pilates, Bliss and Fusion each of which works on different skills, speeds, levels of intensity and vibes. Within each of these styles, we follow set sequences for 8 weeks at a time, giving students the benefits of repetition, whilst keeping things fresh! Most of our classes are vinyasa style- that is, movement and flow oriented, and contain a fitness element. Our in-studio classes are 45 minutes long to fit in with busy lifestyles.  On the course we’ll introduce you to the theory behind these different styles, explain how to sequence classes within this system, and give you the foundational training to deliver these fantastic movement styles. We do also want you to be the best teacher YOU can be, so will also encourage students to practice and teach in ways that are authentic and meaningful to them, and will prepare students to teach more general yoga classes.
