Our next 300 hour Teacher Training Course starts in Windsor on September 13th 2026 & will complete in December 2027.

Yoga for Harmony is a Registered School with Yoga Alliance Professionals (YAP) and the course is fully accredited with this organisation.
Our class location is the 12th Windsor Scout Hut, Maidenhead Road, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 5EY.
There is free parking and kitchen facilities provided.

Why choose Yoga for Harmony for your Training?

There are hundreds of yoga teacher training qualifications available, but not all are delivered by tutors/organisations actually accredited by a recognised body to train prospective yoga teachers. Many are quick and cheap, but do not include the depth of learning needed to be fully equiped, capable and well informed tutors. Our course offers a considerable depth of tuition, information and personal experience in the teaching arena, a lot of which is not accessible on shorter courses.
You will finish feeling confident, well informed and practised in taking your own classes whether they are in the private venue hire or the health club field. Choosing an accredited course, such as the Yoga for Harmony course, will ensure you gain an industry-recognised qualification at the end of it. That means it will meet the exacting standards set out by the yoga profession.
Upon completion of the Teacher Training course, graduates of a certifiied Yoga Organisation will be able to register with the YAP as tutor members and will be able to apply to them for teaching insurance.

Who are the Trainers?

The course is led and taught by principal tutor Amanda Coulson and myself Julie Potter.
We have more than 40 years teaching experience between us.
Amanda has been a Teacher Training Tutor training for one of the longest established teaching organisations in the UK for many years, and I am the founder and owner of The Yoga for Harmony Studio in Windsor which was a very respected and established yoga studio from 2006 until its closure in 2026.
Together we provide a very wide range of knowledge, experience and passions which we 'dovetail' between us to provide a very comprehensive, inspiring and unique teacher training course.
As your trainers we will provide mentoring both during and after the course.
