Questions about the training?
Attending this TT took me on a path I didn’t even know I wanted to take. The knowledge & experience of the teachers is only eclipsed by enthusiasm and passion for sharing and guiding you to grow. I looked for a teacher training and found the very best.

Your Teachers
Bryony's spiritual journey began when she packed her bags and took to traveling the world in her early 20's knowing there had to be more in life than working like she had be socially conditioned to do. She commenced to letting herself learn from nature, different religions and civilisations, strangers and her spiritual teachers. It was at this time when she had been suffering from illness and depression, she took back her power and healed herself through the teachings of yoga and more profoundly meditation.
Bryony has been a student of yoga for nearly 18 years and has been working with the body for as long as she could walk having trained as a professional dancer, worked as an international celebrity fitness trainer and she is also a certified holistic life coach. It is upon the background that she has developed and is known for her strong dynamic yoga asana classes, that challenge and establish both mental and physical strength. Her classes are sweaty, fun and rich in tradition. She is known for her continuous studies and knowledge of the Yoga History and Philosophy and her passion for the philosophy of yoga is integrated in her classes as she feels the power of yoga moves beyond just the asana.
Bryony is soon to have over 1500 hours of yoga teacher training certification and she deeply believes that yoga can enhance and radically transform the lives of all those who choose to walk this path.

"Learning the ins and outs of Yoga in the Greek mountains was a dream for me, but having a teacher who is so passionate really made our training so unique. I learned not only about yoga philosophy, anatomy & asana’s, I discovered more about myself in the space of a month than I have in my whole life. Whether you want to become a teacher or just deepen your practice, this is an experience you’ll never forget.
Bryony was so in depth, willing to hear all of our questions, perspectives about the topics which made learning every day even more fun. Bryony is a true inspiration and I will never forget what she taught me. She helped me push my boundaries and become a more confident person.
She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, she’ll have you crying with laughter outside of training hours. She is truly a ball of joy.
Believe me you won’t regret your first YTT if you choose yogaBstudio! "-Rachel G

Bryony's passion and knowledge of yoga, the history, the philosophy, anatomy and alignment is incredible.
Bryony’s approach was unique, and fun. She found interesting and creative ways to help us through the more challenging areas of the training, she pushed us when we needed to be pushed, held us when we needed to be held and truly helped us to get the most out of the training.
Her manual was great and very accessible, as were all the books we used. She was able to explain the philosophy and depths of yoga in a way in which we could all understand and was always willing, and available, to answer questions. She helped us all to develop confidence and belief in ourselves when teaching. I
can’t imagine a better 200 hour yoga teacher training, or a better way to start my career as a yoga teacher. I would highly recommend YogaBstudio to any yogi or yogini who wants a fully immersive, transformative, and well-structured training. You will come out knowledgeable and prepared whether you want to teach or simply take your personal practice to the next level. - Steph C
