Mindfulness Stress Reduction Course with Kovido Maddick
Why should we meditate, or practice mindfulness? In this era of change, fear, stress, and uncertainty, we need to be able to stay calm amongst the storm, and be kind to ourselves in the process. Kovido's programme helps us cultivate a caring relationship with ourselves, with others, and the environment. We will learn to how to respond calmly/mindfully to stressful situations, rather than react…. there is a long process to being present with yourself, so let us begin now! Join us at A Y U Dunedin.

Yin Yoga & Trauma Informed 100-hr Teacher Training
Amanda will be back to AYU this winter!
Yin Yoga has become a very popular yoga style, perhaps because our everyday life is so "yang." This slow-paced, introspective style of practice targets the deeper connective tissues of the body, and applies gentle stress and long holds to rejuvenate our joints and calm our nerves.
Amanda specialises in Trauma Informed Yoga, Somatic Movement, and Mindfulness Practices. Join her for this essential look at yoga facilitation.
10 days / 100 hours - July 9 - 19, 2022
Email Amanda at info@somapsych.org for more info on schedules, fees + curriculum.

FAQs for the YTTC
Certainly. If you enrol in our YTTC, you will be a Yoga Alliance certified teacher with a 200-hour Certificate of Completion. With this, you can sign up with Yoga Alliance and begin accruing teaching hours, undertake more training, or just keep the certificate as a symbol of your hard work and dedication to health and wellness.
This certification is recognised globally, so you can work abroad! Trimurti Yoga is the perfect first step on your yoga journey. If you already have your 200hr Certification, and you take one of our YACEP courses, you can upload that certificate to YA and add the hours to your dashboard!
The graduates who have the easiest transition to teaching after completion are those that teach what they know, and teach what they practice regularly.
If you are new to yoga, and you don't have a preferred style yet, it will be more challenging to teach straight away... but thats why they call it a PRACTICE.
No, this course is designed to decode the ancient traditions of yoga and explain how even a small daily practice yields BIG results. Many people use this training to deepen their practice and their understanding of yoga as a tool for health and wellbeing. They also have an opportunity to focus on themselves, which is often less of a priority in our busy worlds.
The course is a challenge! It should be. Teaching yoga is HARD, as would be any 'job' that requires such a diverse skills set, as well as a profound respect for the history and traditions of a path so powerful. Embrace the challenge, and see how it transforms you, and prepares you for a better life off of the mat.
We aim to make our courses accessible and available to everyone, so our '10 weekend format' trainings are run over 3-months, with classes held on weekends. We meet from 8am to 6:30pm, with breaks for throughout the day. There is an hour-long break for lunch each day, during which you can step out and grab a bite nearby or eat the lunch you have brought with you in the studio. Coffe, tea and snacks are provided.
For the 200hr TTC, you will have homeworks each week, prepping for the next weekend’s sessions. This work counts toward the 200 hours needed for the course certificate. Other shorter courses have schedules with different hours. Email us for more info!
Yes, there is time to write essays at the end of the course, as well as present your final 'practicum' to the group. You will be more than prepared for both of these assessments after 200 hours of study, learning, and fun.
This course is a great introduction to all things yoga, and a great place to start your yoga journey. We do suggest, however, between now and the first day of class, taking some “beginners yoga” classes on your own or watch/practice with some videos at home to prepare you for the course. Yoga is a big topic and we cover as much as we can fit in!
Well, this programme has been known to bring up some 'stuff,' and was lovingly knicknamed (in India) a "Total Transformation Course."
Yoga, by nature, can be a glorious path to peace + self reflection, and it can be simultaneously very confronting. Be prepared to have moments of joy, as well as self doubt and discomfort. You must learn to be your own advocate, and ask for support when you need it...the entire teaching team is here for you, for this exact reason.
We understand that life happens and will do our best to get you the information that you’ve missed. However, as per the Yoga Alliance guidelines, you will have to make up the hours in order to reach the 200 hours needed for course completion and certification.
During this course, you will be asked to "teach" a few times along the way, culminating in a final project at the end of the course. It starts out small and basic, and then as you acquire new techniques and skills, and you find your voice, your presentations become more involved. There is FEEDBACK along the way too, this makes people uncomfortable on occasion. This can be conducted in a private setting, if you'd prefer, and is constructive, but supportive and honest. We encourage students to explore the many styles and techniques of yoga, and therefore, we present many options for individualized growth and potential.
Trimurti Yoga was founded by Karolina Krawczyk and Ajay Sharma, and their multi-style yoga teacher training courses have received top rankings on yogaalliance.org and trueyogareviews.com.
Their success spreads to Bali, now New Zealand, South America, and Europe. We are thrilled to offer their guidance, support and multi-style programme here in Dunedin, for everybody to enjoy.
