FAQs
From payment options to teaching possibilities, we've answered the most frequently asked questions about our yoga instructor courses.
What prior experience do I need to become a yoga teacher?
There are no formal prerequisites for our yoga teacher courses - your success will be determined by your passion for the practice and your commitment to the programme. Before attending the practical workshops, you will ideally have some experience of performing yoga techniques – if not you’ll have to ensure that you regularly attend classes or sessions during the home-study period. Throughout your course you will also need to undertake further practice as a student to further develop your knowledge and skills.
What can I expect to learn on my yoga course?
Our courses are designed to prepare you for a successful career as a yoga teacher. Broadly speaking, you'll learn about the history and philosophies of yoga; the principles behind practice; how to plan and programme a class or session; how to perform the postures (asanas); the best ways to teach/instruct yoga.
The specific course content will depend on the package that you select. For more information about the course content, please visit the individual course pages.
Once qualified, where can I find work as a yoga teacher?
There's a wide range of places where a yoga teacher can find work. A small selection of these include: private health clubs and gyms, yoga retreats and holiday parks, cruise ships, private yoga studios, local authority leisure centres, and working on a one-on-one basis with clients in their own homes or workplace. Yoga teachers can be self-employed and work on a freelance basis, or be employed – the opportunities are literally endless.
Is this an accredited yoga course?
Upon completion of this course you'll receive a qualification from YMCA Awards, the health and fitness industry's leading awarding body. The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) awards 20 CPD points for this course and those that qualify are automatically eligible for Level 3 status. It is also endorsed by CIMSPA.
What resources and support will you provide on my yoga course?
All of the resources and materials you'll need to complete the course are fully included and this will include training manuals, video lectures, yoga asana tutorials, e-learning and a range of practice assessments.
During the distance learning phase of the course you'll be supported by a team of highly experienced tutors who will guide you through the programme. The face-to-face course elements are taught by leading yoga experts who are also well qualified and experienced in this field.
What's the best way to pay for my yoga course?
There are a few options available to you, leaving you with the freedom to choose. If you decide to pay for your course in full, up front, then you'll be eligible for a 5% discount off the total price. There's also the option to pay in monthly instalments over the course of six months.
If you're booking a package then there is the option of an interest-free, 12-month payment plan.

Pilates Level 3
2014-11-05I have enjoyed attending Pilates for many years and always wondered if I could teach it myself, I work in legal and have never had teaching experience. After speaking to HFE, they gave me so much confidence that I signed up and to make it easier on my finances, I paid monthly.

Great value Pilates qualification.
2015-02-06The course material has everything you need to know to complete your theory exams and coursework. The online material is really helpful with lots of progress tests which are taken from real exams. Your support tutor is always on hand to help in which ever way works for you.

Pre and Post Natal
2015-01-01I like this way of working and having a tutor I can contact as and when I needed was great. The course is more set up to gym instructors, but Gregg was very helpful and the case study was adapted to suit Pilates.

Yoga Courses with HFE
Yoga has a rich and incredibly interesting history dating back well over 5,000 years. Today’s modern yoga is an incredibly powerful form of exercise that appeals to those of all ages and abilities, regardless of religion or spiritual beliefs. Blending ancient ideas with current principles and practices means participants, or students as they are often known, can reap a wide range of physical and mental benefits from a class.
If you have a passion for yoga and you’re looking to formalise what you already know and further expand your knowledge, it’s time for you to embark on your yoga teacher training. For those brand new to the practice, this begins with the Level 3 Diploma in Yoga Teacher Training. It’s an entry-level yoga course that doesn’t require any prior qualifications but it is your gateway to what has the potential to be a long and successful career as a yoga instructor or teacher.
Our Level 3 yoga instructor course is internationally-recognised and approved by both REPs and CIMSPA. This means that whether you have designs on teaching classes in your local gym, opening your own boutique studio, delivering sessions online or teaching at international retreats, you absolutely can. The only limit to how far you take your yoga career is your own ambition. Our yoga course can be completed stand-alone, alternatively, it can also be combined with other courses to form a comprehensive yoga career package.
The Specialist package brings together Level 3 Yoga Teacher Training with the Level 3 Pre and Postnatal Exercise Instructor and primes you for safely adapting and delivering yoga for pre and postnatal clients. There’s also the Advanced career package and this combined Level 3 Yoga Teacher Training and Level 3 Exercise Referral Diploma. Upon completion, you’ll be able to greatly expand the scope of your yoga practice by getting involved with exercise referral schemes.
Once you’re qualified, there are a range of yoga instructor and teacher jobs and opportunities that open up for you. Leading gyms, health clubs, studios and fitness retreats are always on the lookout for qualified, enthusiastic and ambitious yoga teachers. To help you find your footing, we’ll also open up access to CV Connect once you’ve completed your yoga teacher training with us. This innovative and exclusive system means you’re only a few clicks away from getting your CV in front of 1000s and of health and fitness employers.
