About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 45 minutes

Teaching Yoga has become a trend, with 200hrs teacher training popping up in all corners of the globe.

From teaching upto 28 classes a week, 6 sometimes 7 days in busy studios across London to now teaching just a handful of classes a week whilst travelling the world. Krissi reveals all the inside tips on how you can do it too.

Who is this course for?

  • Burnt out teachers looking to expand their offerings overseas but don't know where to get started
  • Teachers looking to set up retreats alone, but are feeling stuck and need guidance
  • Yoga Teachers who need structure in regards to financing to get the ball game rolling
  • Anyone looking to pick up their career and travel
  • Yoga Teachers in search of something more outside of city teaching
  • Yoga Teachers looking to move from studios to retreats, teacher trainings or 1-2-1's

A little background about Kriss's journey:

3 years ago, bombarded with bills and high deadlines and targets, swamped with a little creeping of debt, Krissi decided to pack up London and leave with just a few hundred pounds. A 3 month trip turned into a full time travelling career teaching on international retreats and Yoga Teacher Trainings in India, Thailand, Croatia, Kenya and soon in Sweden, Krissi is here to show you how you can do it too.

Alongside as guest speaker on this course is International Retreats Manager - Elena aka KENKOHUB who will also speak of the ins and outs of how to turn your dreams into a reality when you didn't think it was possible.

Krissi is now running her second retreat with Elena - the first was a sold out retreat in Goa, India.

What will this course cover?

  • Foundations and planning - the essential parts to think about before packing up and leaving. This includes:
  • How to budget and finance strategies
  • How to get recognised in overseas studios, teacher trainings and retreats inclduing where to find the positions and how to stand out
  • Setting up your first retreat - budget, financies and marketting strategies

We invite you to come with your questions and let us wash away any doubts.

We look forward to serving you soon!

Blessings,

Krissi and Elena

Chrissy Cook

Chrissy feels very lucky to have stepped onto the mat from an early age - practicing since she was 18. Having spent the last 6 years delving deep into the origin of yoga with svadhyaya (self study) as well as taking her 200hrs Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher training,  Toddler Yoga, Yoga for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, training in Sanskrit (Devanagari) and has just started her Introduction to teaching yoga in prisons.

She has a strict 6 day a week practice but teaches in an inclusive way offering her classes to all as she believes yoga is for everyBODY. Chrissy strongly resonates with the idea of bringing the home of yoga in the east right onto your mat in the west so you can expect chanting and a lot of sanskrit! 

A quote from Chrissy, "often we associate anger with the past and fear with the future, so when we bring a relationship with the breath and the movement, we arrive into the present moment - which is where life really exists" 

Her classes offer a variety of challenges from holding planks to getting upside down - which she designs and puts together in a way that will test you both physically but more importantly; mentally, as you practice you begin to unravel layers of yourself that you didn't know existed before. Expect to sweat, but with a smile (because it's never an exercise for the face!) Chrissy takes the time to really get to know her students, working with their abilities and offering appropriate modifications to suit the level of all of her students so don't be put off! 

Her classes are strongly linked to her training in PTSD as she thrives to ensure her students always understand that they have an option; it's their practice not hers - she's just guiding. Allowing the practice of yoga to fit into them rather than them into yoga.

Focusing on breath awareness, because to her, all yoga is about is stilling the vrittis (the mind-stuff) creating a moving meditation. As we sweat we cleanse the mind, the body and the soul - leave feeling nourished and a little more in love with yourself
