The Kaya Method: How We Teach
The Kaya Method is a mentorship-based approach to yoga teacher training that prioritises embodiment, therapeutic understanding, and clarity of teaching. Learning unfolds progressively through practice, observation, feedback, and reflection — ensuring that students don’t just learn what to teach, but how and why.
Therapeutic Foundation
Yoga is taught through a lens of safety, anatomy, breath, and nervous system awareness. Students learn to adapt practices for real bodies, real conditions, and real lives.
Embodied Learning
Understanding is built through lived experience. Students practice, observe, assist, and teach throughout the training, integrating knowledge through the body rather than memorisation alone.
Small Cohorts & Mentorship
Training is intentionally kept to small groups. Close mentorship allows for individual feedback, accountability, and guidance, supporting both personal development and teaching experience.
Teaching Labs & Integration
Teaching is practised from the first day onward, through supported teaching labs. Feedback is specific and constructive, helping students refine their teaching voice, presence, and confidence over time.
Assessment as Development
Assessment is a process. Students are evaluated through participation, practice, teaching, and a written exam, ensuring readiness, confidence, and deep knowledge as teachers.
