What Actually Changes Over 12 Months?
People always imagine the biggest change in a year-long teacher training is suddenly being able to float into handstand. Impressive… but not the truth.
The real shifts are quieter but they’re the ones that stick.
Over twelve months, your practice stops being something you “'it in' and becomes something you trust. You learn how your body actually moves, what steadiness feels like, and how to show up even on the days you’re tired, stressed or doubting yourself.
Your teaching voice starts to appear. At first it’s tiny and awkward, like trying on clothes that don’t feel like yours. Then you find your pace, your tone, your style, the part of you that people naturally follow.
Discipline stops sounding harsh. It becomes the way you hold yourself steady in the middle of a busy life. You realise you can be consistent without being intense.
And then there’s philosophy, not as abstract ideas, but as the stuff that lands in your day-to-day. How you react to people. How you breathe when you’re overwhelmed. How you treat yourself when you mess up. Bits of it just… sink in.
A year doesn’t magically turn you into a different person. It gives you enough time to actually grow into the person you’ve been circling for a while.
January start.
A few spots left.
Free Taster Day in Southend if you want to explore it properly.
This is what a slow, supported year can really do for you. And it’s far more interesting than a fancy pose.
