Our teacher training is a sweet deep dip into the practice of yoga. Our time together will be a potent container for soul enquiry, energy uplift, creative incubation and a renewal of mind, body and spirit.

"Elisha and Fraser provided a very caring and nurturing environment to take my yoga teaching journey to the next level. I felt the feedback was relevant and practical. Would recommend to anyone from the experienced yogi to beginner."
EMILY BARKER
"An active participant and graduate of first Kai yoga teacher training, in 2018, is one of the best accomplishments of my self care PSTD healing journey. In a personal vow to keep moving forward, the timelines of this program, one of the best decisions I’ve personally made for all aspects of my mind, body, spirit of the soul - well being. A hugely transformational journey of sorts. I simply cannot speak highly enough, of Elisha and Fraser leading the program. Done so with articulate and indughtful thought, care, hands in support, knowledge transfer and professionalism. That is. Simply, best in class. The course content, rich in the ancient yogic traditions, lineage and ancestory. Learning through the great old Sages of yoga through ancient Indian philosophy, poetic Sanskrit language to honour those traditions and whose teachings apply most invaluably in today’s worldly times. A practice, of sass a (physical body) and breath (prana) in movement, emphasised by importance of understand the anatomy for safety and alignment. A purity of a flow that heals, all aspects of the mind, and one that connects and brings together community under a common thread of kindness, love and connection, good for the self and towards one another. Yoga truly is ‘a journey to the self, of the self through the self. Bhavad Gita. This incredible transformation and transitioning milestone, has further validated my own commitment to selflessly drive attention, awareness of how Yoga and aligned psychology has helped me, through deep trauma and survivorship - in order that I will help and serve others in my community near and afar. Thank you, for this opportunity."

"The level of quality in the teacher training surpassed my expectations. I thought it would be a memorable experience with Fraser and Elisha but that was further enhanced by a support team of independent facilitators. It was a very personal well rounded training which gave me a greater understanding and insight into all aspects of becoming a better yoga teacher."

"I really think that the passing of time has allowed me to appreciate just what a transformative experience the training was for me…the training really was a seminal event in my life – it fundamentally changed the way I see myself and my place in the world.
To say that the training deepened my practice would be an understatement! Before the training I practised no more than once a week, and while I had a yearning for the holistic, spiritual side of yoga, my asana practice was very much a form of physical exercise. Since completing the course I’ve had a studio membership and practise every day in some shape or form – whether it be meditation, pranayama, yin or vinyasa – and I try to live by yogi values on and off the mat. My practise is now very much a spiritual practice – it’s the time that I come home to re-dedicate myself to my values and goals and to gain perspective on whatever else is going on in my life." ELLA
