Training in Brighton, UK and Munich,Germany 2021
We have two versions of the teacher training:
1. Live in-person teacher training - see information on this web page below
2. Online teacher training see information via this website link - www.eyp.training
Our live training consists of 4-5 days live training, some pre-course work, reading a number of fascinating books and personal practice afterwards (if you wish to officially qualify as a certified EYP Teacher).
The training is as much about personal development as learning new techniques and principles. And because Embodied Yoga is a set of principles rather than a style, it can add a new dimension to any approach.
The training is not to be taken lightly as involves some work and much personal challenge. It will be deep, fun, personally and professionally enriching, but not all easy.
It is taught by EYP founder Mark Walsh, with support from senior EYP Teachers.
EYP training is for you if you’re:
-
Experienced in any style of yoga looking to add a whole new dimension to your practice
-
Looking to deepen your personal awareness and growth
-
Already qualified to teach any style of yoga and looking to add elements of depth, pragmatism and breadth from other embodied arts
-
Looking to be able to teach EYP as a stand-alone class
-
Up for a challenging and enlightening emotional journey
-
Thick-skinned and have a sense of humour (vital for the training)
-
Care about social issues and the world beyond the yoga mat
-
Looking to join a community of like-minded teachers working non-dogmatically and creatively in an emerging field

Teaching practice
Develop and refine your understanding of Embodied Yoga Principles postures with senior EYP teachers.
Teacher Trainings usually have visiting teachers to share their specific experience of practice, and to show a range of different teaching types as well as how the principles can be expressed in other ways with different embodiments.
Apply Embodiment Principles to Yoga styles
EYP can be integrated within your existing teaching styles or methods of Yoga such as Hatha yoga, Yin yoga, Restorative yoga, Partner yoga, Vinyasa yoga or Acro yoga and many more.
Many yoga teachers who learn to teach Embodied Yoga Principles often like to add layers of depth and subtlety to their current classes, workshops and retreats by adding simple embodiment inquiries and explorations. We call this EYP Light.
This helps them integrate their learning as well as giving opportunities to their students on an accessible level. In addition, it helps them learn to teach the more intense, stand-alone EYP method.
Community
There is an ever-expanding community of EYP teachers growing globally with many opportunities for developmental discussions to learn and share. Including a private Facebook community group for EYP Teachers, monthly online video meetings and online courses, as well as teaching opportunities.
If you are also tired of the new age nonsense -- we may be your tribe.
Pleasure and purpose
As well as serious support for life challenges, EYP places an emphasis on enjoyment, play and pleasure.
The training includes fun explorations as well as work with our deepest perspective and purpose of our practice, and the positive contribution we can make to the world via ethical life-enhancing practice.

What people say about the training
“Embodied Yoga is a refreshing take on yoga as a method of self-enquiry and transformation. Highly effective for transforming your patterns of behaviour.”
Sindre EYP TEACHER
Oslo, Norway
"Embodied Yoga Principles Teacher Training was the most pivotal training I've participated in. It's added a layer to all my work and projects that has brought it all together. This training changes lives of teachers so we can change the lives of our students with the tools, language, and mindset learned."
Sarah Liljegren
Kansas City, Missouri, USA
I recommend it to any teacher that would like to deepen their own yoga practice, to get meaningful learnings far beyond the physical aspect of asanas and to enrich their life through working with the body in a very simple, mindful but powerful way. EYP = creativity, never-ending possibilities, its relational, ethical and fun.
EYP community is full of great mature people that support each other and believe in making the world a better place. The teachers are outstanding communicators with a lot of experience and kind human beings.
Pilar Corcuera Botana
Yoga Teacher Canary Islands, Spain
I cannot recommend EYP TT highly enough – Mark has done an amazing job in teaching how to incorporate yoga into the modern world.
Lynn Marsh Jones EYP Teacher and Coach
North London, UK
For me yoga is an exploration of who I am, what I embody, how I am connected to the world and how I can be a loving presence in it. EYP is helping me to explore and embody different ways to be that loving presence. EYP has changed things enormously, my practice has become less insular, more movement / asanas, less meditation, I am applying personal practice much more to teaching and life.
Karin Van Maanen EYP Teacher
Chichester,UK
“It brings rigorous self enquiry into my physical practice. It's a way of bringing self study to life in practical and playful ways. EYP is adaptable, you can use it in simple ways to enhance a general yoga class and in a life changing way in longer workshops.”
Amanda Brown,EYP TEACHER
Cornwall, UK
“Embodied Yoga offers a much needed fresh authentic perspective on yoga. Its not offering an opportunity to float off into spiritual la-la and distance oneself from life’s suffering, on the contrary it encourages the participant to become fully aware and to take responsibility for what is going on in their body and mind, becoming aware of patterns and shadows in a safe supported environment.”

Notes on qualification given
If candidates wish to teach EYP classes after the course they should also have a recognised 200hr yoga teaching qualification or equivalent. There will also be a (fairly relaxed) exam, an element of continual assessment on the course, some light reading and videos watching (max 5 books and 5 hours) and further personal development recommendations to qualify as a full EYP teacher.
Being an EYP teacher requires considerable emotional maturity and facilitation skills quite different from regular asana classes and we take this seriously. It is not guaranteed you will pass to the level of full EYP teacher qualification and if you do there are certain ethical and branding standards for EYP teachers (available on request). All participants will learn elements of EYP however that they can incorporate into existing classes that they teach irrespective.
Application process
EYP is not for everyone so we like to see if it's a good fit ahead of the training. The application process involves :
• ideally attending a class/workshop (can be online) with an EYP teacher (to get a taste of EYP if at all possible) see EYP EVENTS (note if you are unable to attend an event before please contact Vidyadasa or the course administrator for your chosen location it is possible for you to attend), we accept people who have some understanding of Embodied Yoga Principles through watching videos, attending online video courses or other embodiment trainings if seems suitable.
• a video call (view Skype, Zoom or Facebook video) which is an opportunity for us to let you know more about the training and for you to ask any questions.
• full or deposit payment upfront
(non-refundable except in case of family emergency)
NB: This training is quite deep/intense and not everyone is ready to lead EYP classes, or in a good place for the training personally. We’d recommend not applying if you are not well emotionally resourced currently, have active mental health issues or have suffered a recent major loss. If that all sounds a bit scary we'd also note that while tiring all past TT's have been loads of fun!
