What to expect

LEADING VINYASA SCHOOL

Baby we got flow! You will be training with one of Australia’s leading Vinyasa Yoga Schools where you wont just learn a set sequence but how to artfully create seamlessly flowing classes. If you love unique flowing sequences make sure to chose a Vinyasa Yoga School! 

AN INTIMATE GROUP

Unlike other courses that accept 50+ participants, we are one of the rare trainings were you will have an intimate and a personal, supportive, experience (typically 10-20 students). With the majority of the training in person, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, step away from regular life and immerse yourself in the experience.

DOWN TO EARTH

Our Yoga school is renowned for being down to earth, authentic and welcoming. You don’t need to be slim, hip or cool to roll out your mat with us, everyone is welcome. Our school prides itself on drawing out your own wisdom, message and purpose. We teach Yoga in a religiously neutral way so that all are free to interweave these sacred practices into their life in their own way.

INSPIRING TEACHERS

Our teacher training faculty are not only some of the most highly trained experienced teachers in the industry. They are inspiring people that teach from a place of vulnerability and authenticity. We don’t aim to impress you with what we can do or what we know. It is through our vulnerability, love and humanity that we hold space for you to emerge as a teacher yourself.

  • Helaina Bannister

    “I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Bec & Daniel and a lineup of talented Yoga Teacher Specialists last year. The experience was life altering, I delved deep into the big questions of life and learned things about Yoga I never knew existed. I made beautiful connections with soul sisters and brothers from the course and we continue to support each other throughout our journey. Bec is passionate about walking her talk, encouraging her trainees to find their voice and their truth, and guiding them on their path. For those aspiring to become a Yoga Teacher, and for those wanting to feel part of a community, I would recommend following this path at Lighten Up.”

  • Kim Rain

    “ I completed the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and I have never felt more fulfilled. Bec and all of her teachers are beautiful kindhearted, down to earth teachers and teach from the soul. I feel the teachings I received are from a place of passion and dedication.”

  • Sheree Jade

    “I completed my 200HR yoga teacher training through Lighten Up and I have to say the experience was life changing. The training not only gave me a deeper understanding of the philosophy and practice of yoga but how I could apply this to the way I lived my own life. It also helped me to broaden my understanding of meditation and breathing strategies and could also be applied to stress management - which as a Clinical Psychologist are skills that help people manage anxiety, combat depression and look after their self-care needs. I feel that the training gave me greater insight into my own experience of consciousness and helped me with thought processes that may been impeding my own goals both personally and professionally. The lasting impact of this training has been profound for me. I would highly recommend this training to anyone.”

  • Alana Sullivan

    “I completed my 200hr Level 1 Teaching Certificate with Bec Dore and Daniel Erulian at Lighten Up and I am still on a high from the experience a year later. It was so wonderful and transformative. Before the course, I worried that I wouldn’t be able to 'do' some of the poses but learnt there is so much more to yoga than poses. I loved every minute of it and as a result, I am kinder to myself and really happy with the new direction my life is going because of the course.”
