Alexandra Stefanits, Hungary

I did my YTT with Madhura and continued my practice with her after that. I’ll forever consider her my teacher. Through her teachings, wisdom and vast knowledge on yoga styles, poses, meditation, adjustment and alignment, philosophy, history and the practice itself I learnt what yoga truly is. Doing a YTT with her was an experience that not only changed my practice but my whole life.

Study with Madhura Bhagwat, an Edinburgh-based senior yoga teacher, bringing authentic Indian yoga teachings to Scotland. Our Hybrid 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTTC) blends the flexibility of online learning with the transformative power of in-person training in Edinburgh and East Lothian. Whether you're balancing a busy schedule or prefer to study at your own pace, this programme allows you to deepen your practice and refine your teaching skills - all without missing out on the immersive, hands-on experience of in-studio training.
