Continuing Professional Development is an opportunity to refine your understanding, and deepen the quality of what you offer your students
Swami Saradananda’s trainings are designed for yoga teachers who want to strengthen their knowledge, develop greater confidence, and reconnect with the roots of yoga. With more than 50 years of teaching experience, an MA in ‘Traditions of Yoga and Meditation’ from SOAS, and decades of teaching internationally, she offers courses that combine lived practice, philosophical depth, and practical application.
Whether you are looking to build your CPD hours in yoga philosophy, meditation, pranayama, chakra-based practice, or personal mentoring, these trainings are created to support your growth as both a practitioner and a teacher.
These CPD trainings are for:
yoga teachers wishing to deepen their knowledge and teaching skills
graduates of 200-hour or 300-hour teacher trainings
experienced teachers seeking fresh inspiration and refinement
serious practitioners who want structured, lineage-informed study
teacher training schools seeking specialist modules in philosophy, meditation, pranayama, or chakra yoga
Why choose these CPD trainings
Swami Saradananda’s teaching is especially valuable for yoga teachers looking for:
in-depth training, rather than trends
authentic philosophical grounding
clear explanation linked to real practice
a balance of theory and lived experience
mature, lineage-informed guidance from a teacher with decades of international experience
Personal Mentoring for Teachers
Some teachers may feel the need for wise guidance, thoughtful reflection, and support in integrating what they already know. Mentoring can form an important part of continuing development for teachers who want personal support in their next stage of growth. Swami Saradananda offers mentoring and invites people interested in deepening their practice and/or living a more yogic lifestyle to get in touch.
