Discover the Teacher Within: 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Essence of Living
Aug 05, 2025
Have you felt the quiet calling to deepen your yoga practice, share its transformative power, or simply reconnect to yourself more fully?
Essence of Living’s 200hr Yoga Teacher Training isn’t just about learning to guide others through asana—it’s a sacred journey home to yourself.
For Liz, a recent graduate, the journey spanned decades:
“My journey with yoga began during pregnancy at age 25 and deepened as part of my rehabilitation following a motor vehicle accident. Now, at 52, yoga remains the foundation of my well-being, supporting my physical longevity, emotional resilience, and spiritual growth.”
At Essence of Living, we welcome students from all stages of life—whether you’re stepping into yoga for the first time, or returning to it with new perspective. Our training is purposefully designed to be multi-level, combining the foundational tools of a beginner’s path with the philosophical depth and self-inquiry that seasoned practitioners long for.
“Michelle’s YTT came highly recommended, and it exceeded all expectations. Her approach is grounded in authenticity, presence, and genuine care for others. Michelle doesn’t preach or impose—she shares openly, guides with compassion, and encourages deep understanding.”
Led by Michelle Cassidy—senior teacher, teacher-trainer, and long-time student of traditional yoga lineages—this training is lovingly held within the lush embrace of the Gold Coast hinterland. You’ll learn how to sequence and teach with purpose, understand the roots of yoga’s ancient traditions, and embody yogic wisdom both on and off the mat.
“Her teaching empowered me to appreciate the strength of a well-sequenced class and to live more intentionally, spiritually, and truthfully. As a teacher, Michelle is nurturing and supportive, yet deeply motivating.”
Whether your intention is to become a certified yoga teacher, enrich your personal practice, or step into a more aligned life, our 200hr YTT will support your transformation on every level—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
“Yogic history and philosophy are core to the experience, and Michelle weaved these elements seamlessly into each module, bringing a profound meaning to the discipline of the practice in all its forms.”
What makes this training truly special is the community it creates—a circle of kindred spirits, each on their own path, yet walking together through these rich teachings.
“The training is truly multi-level, accessible to beginners yet rich and expansive for experienced practitioners. I felt honoured to train alongside such a diverse group of committed students.”
If you’re feeling the nudge in your heart to take the next step, this is your sign. The next intake is now open—and places are intentionally limited to maintain the intimacy and support we believe is essential to this journey.
