Bodhi Eden, Epsom · Sep 2026 – May 2027
Hot & Flow 300-hour teacher training
Study online at your own pace. Come together for seven weekend intensives on the mat. Finish as a Yoga Alliance registered RYT 300.
Two ways of learning, running side by side
The theory doesn't need a room. The teaching does. So you take the coursework on your own schedule and save the studio for the work that only happens in person — adjusting, cueing, standing in front of a class and finding your voice.
Online, on your schedule
Video lessons, posture breakdowns, anatomy and philosophy modules, plus 1:1 live mentoring. Work through it around your job and your practice.
In person at Bodhi Eden
Seven weekend intensives in the hot room in Epsom. Practice teaching with live feedback, hands-on assists and sequencing labs.
Hot and flow together
Deepen the original 26+2 hot sequence and build creative vinyasa on top of it. You leave able to teach both, and to move between them with intention.
Nine months, seven weekends
The online coursework runs continuously from September. These are the dates you'll be on the mat with us in Epsom.
Opening intensive
Meet the group and the faculty, set your intentions for the year, and get oriented in the online platform. We open the 26+2 posture mechanics work.
One dayPosture mechanics
Deep work on alignment, entry and exit, and the mechanics of each posture in the hot sequence. First rounds of practice teaching.
One dayAnatomy and the body in heat
Functional anatomy applied to the sequence: what heat does, where the load goes, how to modify safely for the bodies in front of you.
Two daysVoice, cueing and adjustment
Finding your teaching voice. Verbal cueing under pressure, hands-on assists, reading a room and adapting on the fly.
Two daysFlow sequencing
Building vinyasa from the ground up — sun salutations, intelligent transitions, peak-pose sequencing and how to theme a class without losing the thread.
Two daysPhilosophy and the seat of the teacher
Yoga philosophy and history, ethics, and what it means to hold a room. Extended practice teaching with feedback.
Two daysTeaching out loud
Final practicum, the business of yoga — finding work, building a following, running a studio — and graduation.
Two daysThe programme is not limited to these weekends — further dates are being confirmed and we will send them as soon as they are set. If you miss a weekend, you can make it up at any Evolation training of the same style, anywhere in the world.

Zefea and Mark founded Evolation Yoga together in 2009. Both studied directly with Bikram Choudhury for a decade, and went on to win the landmark legal case that confirmed the 26+2 sequence belongs to everyone. They lead this training jointly.
Between them they have led trainings on five continents and certified thousands of teachers now working in studios worldwide. Expect precision about the mechanics, and equal attention to the part of teaching that can't be written down.

Before you enrol
Yes. The 300-hour is a continuing education programme. With a completed 200-hour you can register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 300, and together the two make you an RYT 500. If you don't have yours yet, start with our 200-hour and continue from there.
Tell us as early as you can and we'll work it out. You can make up missed hours at any Evolation training of the same style, at any of our locations, or through additional online modules.
The majority of the coursework — lectures, anatomy, philosophy, posture theory — is online and self-paced. The seven weekends are reserved for practice teaching, assists, sequencing labs and everything that needs a room and a group.
Yes. The programme covers both the 26+2 hot sequence and flow sequencing, so you graduate able to teach either, and to build classes that draw on both.
A steady existing practice matters more than flexibility or strength. You'll be practising and teaching in a heated room across the weekends, so come with your practice in reasonable shape and tell us about any injuries in advance.
We arrange this individually. Write to us at train@evolationyoga.com and we'll work out something that fits your situation.
Evolation is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School. Graduates are eligible to register as RYT 300 and teach worldwide.
