3 Levels of Training
Level 1 - One Day Foundation Training - Schoolteachers' Course
The one day Yoga Bananas® Schoolteachers' Course is for those who would like to train as a teacher in breathing, visualisation, physical theatre and meditation to creatively work with children to help them live a meaningful life. The content is taken from the 3 Day course, cherry-picking those Yoga Bananas Technique™ elements that require no formal training in yoga. Although some of the yoga asana work is removed, the main elements of the Hatha Yoga tradition are preserved. This course is open to anyone but is most suitable for schoolteachers and health professionals working with children who do not have a formal yoga practice. Every student is personally trained by founder and director, Skip Oliver, who draws on her 18 year experience of training teachers in the Technique™.
Level 2 - Three Day Comprehensive Training - Yoga Teachers' Course

This course is open to anyone who has been practising yoga for 2 years. Every student is personally trained by founder and director, Skip Oliver, who draws on her 18 year experience of training teachers in the Technique™.
