From Transmission to Teaching: A New Chapter in Yoga Education.
A grounded evolution of RYT200, embodiment, and intentional pause.
The last couple of weeks of January have been devoted to a very focused and intentional phase of work: filming educational content for a new and evolved RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training format.
This period has marked an important threshold — one where years of teaching experience, curriculum development, mentoring, and quality assurance are being distilled into learning resources that will support the next generation of yoga teachers.
This work has been created through a collaboration between Love Life School of Yoga and Create Yoga, bringing together depth of practice, pedagogical integrity, and modern modes of delivery.
Filming as a form of transmission
Filming for a yoga teacher training is not a technical exercise alone — it is a form of transmission.
Every posture, transition, verbal cue, and moment of silence carries meaning. These recordings are not designed simply to demonstrate movement, but to teach discernment, awareness, and responsibility. They are created for students who are learning not only what to teach, but how to see, sense, and respond.
Throughout the filming process, the focus has been on:
clarity and precision of instruction.
accessibility for diverse bodies and learning styles.
bridging anatomy, philosophy, and lived experience.
and supporting trainees to step into teaching with confidence and integrity.
This is teacher education that honours the reality of modern learning environments while remaining rooted in embodied wisdom.
Where structure meets embodiment.
What sits at the heart of this new format is a commitment to integration.
The content being filmed is not isolated from the lived experience of teaching — it is informed by decades of working with students, teachers-in-training, and qualified teachers navigating real studios, real bodies, and real lives. It reflects a belief that yoga education must balance structure with sensitivity, and knowledge with presence.
High-quality production — thoughtful lighting, multiple camera angles, and clear visual communication — is not about perfection. It is about supporting students to truly see, understand, and integrate what is being shared, at their own pace and in their own way.
A conscious pause to realign and listen.
As this phase of creation completes, I am intentionally stepping into a quieter rhythm.
I’ve chosen to spend the remainder of the UK winter in Sri Lanka, where from 4th–12th February I will be taking a sacred pause and will not be available for teaching or meetings. This time is devoted to realignment — not as a retreat from the work, but as a return to its source.
For me, it is essential to remain grounded, embodied, and receptive. To listen deeply — to the practice, to the teachings, and to what wants to emerge next. Every cohort is different, and each group of students arrives with its own energy, questions, and readiness. Creating space allows me to receive the wisdom that needs to be shared, rather than repeating what has been shared before.
This pause feeds directly into how I show up: fully present, clear, and aligned.
Why Sri Lanka
The choice to spend this time in Sri Lanka was not a logistical one — it was a response.
Sri Lanka carries a strong spiritual resonance, with Buddhism as its primary religion and ancient teachings that are deeply rooted in nature, simplicity, and presence. Here, practice is not confined to temples or texts; it lives in the land, the rhythm of daily life, and the relationship between human and environment.
In the tantric understanding, wisdom is not something we chase — it is something we attune to. It arises through spanda, the subtle pulsation of life itself, when we slow down enough to listen.
Nature has always been my greatest teacher. And in this season, it was nature that spoke most clearly.
The ocean called.
The island called.
And I responded with an open yes.
Being here allows me to soften out of constant output and return to a listening body — one that is receptive, grounded, and responsive. Each day becomes a practice of attunement: to the tides, the heat, the breath, the silence between moments. I arrive with an open heart and an open mind, allowing wisdom to reveal itself through direct relationship with the natural world.
This pause is not separate from my teaching — it is part of it. By inhabiting stillness, sensation, and presence, I return aligned with what needs to be transmitted next. Every cohort carries a different frequency, and this space allows me to meet each one freshly, rather than from habit or repetition.
What is shared from this place is not rehearsed knowledge, but lived experience — embodied, integrated, and alive.
What’s unfolding next…
Looking ahead into early spring, several offerings are coming into view:
The next RYT200 cohort with Love Life School of Yoga begins in early March, offered in a prolonged, in-depth format with live teaching, mentorship, and embodied inquiry at its core.
The fully digital RYT200 format, created through the Love Life × Create Yoga collaboration, will be available from late March / early April, offering flexibility while maintaining depth, structure, and integrity.
Montenegro Retreat 2026 is now in its final month of registration, with enrolment closing at the end of February. This retreat offers a rare opportunity for deep immersion, reconnection, and spacious exploration within a held container.
This season is one of refinement — balancing creation with rest, form with flow, and action with listening. Everything is unfolding with intention, rooted in practice, and guided by a commitment to depth over speed.
Om Shanti.
