A well rounded training specific to the needs of Women

This 350 HR course runs over 1 year, with a 200HR pathway Teacher Training Certificate in yoga specific to the needs of women completed in the first 6 months. Students will then enter an immersive training & mentorship, completing the remaining 150HRS with more in depth teachings into a range of women's health & wellness practices.

You will be guided for the entire journey by Kate Payne (Higher States of Yoga) and Andrea Broadbear (Yoga with Andy), both Yoga Therapists and Women's Health Specialists with more than 2 decades of embodied practice and experience. Guest facilitators and mentors also join throughout.

The Embodied Yoga For Women immersive training provides a comprehensive, interactive and explorative look at how we can approach women's health today using yoga in a therapeutic manner.

Who is this training for?

This training is open to all women who want to dive deeper into their practice.

This training is unique in that it is designed as an immersive experience, navigating the material in an exploratory way, meaning, it is suitable for those who intend on teaching yoga as well as those who would simply like to journey into the feminine over the space of a year.

Numbers are capped to ensure each woman receives the time and attention they require.

This training may not be right for you if you are not able to travel for in person sessions. If this is you we have a 200hr Women's Yoga Training which runs online that may interest you.

Student Reflections...

The 350 hour Women’s Teacher Training with Kate Payne has been an incredibly transformative and life-exalting experience. 

The training offered such a beautiful and in-depth exploration of Yoga as a way of life, with the focus on women’s wellness across the lifespan. The training was holistic in its approach, weaving in teachings of Ayurveda and TCM. A deep embrace and reverence of the feminine was imbued throughout.

From a personal perspective, this training was far beyond the Asanas. It allowed contemplation and exploration of my own experiences and responses to the practices offered, and to Life. 

From a professional perspective, this training has been so supportive in my current work with pregnant and postpartum mothers, giving me greater depths and ways of working with mothers through their transitions.

I am grateful to Kate for her embodied wisdom, knowledge and guidance. Her humility and integrity as a teacher is profound. 

The other joy of this training was the deeply nourishing connections created between the students. Lifelong friendships have definitely been forged. 

I highly recommend this training if you are desiring to journey deeper into oneself and to harness the supportive potency that yoga can offer women across the lifespan.
