A Yoga Australia and Yoga Alliance Approved Training Course
Vocational Enrichment Programme: Biomedically Informed Yoga for the Individual
This program is designed to take you from any 200-hour registration to our 350-hour personalized Biomedical yoga. Upon completing this program, you will become a professionally recognized teacher through Yoga Australia. You will acquire the additional skills to integrate yoga and meditation into your daily life and the lives of others. This course will provide an accurate understanding of the science and deep experience of the transcendental state of yoga.
BIYOME’s 150 hour Yoga Teacher Training programme upgrade will enable you an adept understanding of the holistic being, which aims to embed the capacity for you to tailor a practice to suit the individual needs of your clientele. You will gain a level of knowledge that assists you in the capacity to conceptualize the body deeply – offering your students a diverse and personalized experience of the practice, as opposed to just delivering a class.

What You Will Walk Away With
As a BIYOME teacher, you will be able to cultivate the experience of meditation through yoga asana, harness the psychological state of flow in your classroom and offer your students the ultimate transcendental experience described for millennia through the science of yoga.
BIYOME’s Yoga Teacher Training courses also create a unique avenue to becoming a yoga teacher registered with Yoga Australia and Yoga Alliance.
Upon graduation, certification with BIYOME avails the opportunity to register with either Association providing you with a globally recognized membership. Yoga Australia and Yoga Alliance provide a standard of training recognition for teachers to practice with insurance worldwide. While Yoga Australia is highly regarded in Australia and the UK, Yoga Alliance may be your registration choice should you wish to teach in the USA.
BIYOME’s upgrade to 350 hour Yoga Teacher Training specifically allows you to become a Level 1 Yoga Teacher and obtain insurance to teach yoga worldwide. You will then qualify to upgrade further with postgraduate specialties.
