This part-time course runs over a seven-month period and commences with a week-long residential retreat, six weekend intensives in Sydney, and ends with a ten-day residential retreat. This format allows students to spread their study load over an extended period of time, giving them an opportunity to integrate the study material while still being able to manage career and family commitments.

The venue for both retreats is Jasper’s Village Resort, Australia’s up-and-coming centre for health, wellbeing, sustainability, and conscious living. Resort accommodation is located in an area of natural beauty and is serviced by a community of people whose focus is to create an environment conducive to people reaching their highest potential.

Jasper’s Village Resort is located one hour west of Port Macquarie on the NSW mid-north coast. Travel options to Jasper’s include flying to Port Macquarie, rail service to Wauchope, or driving from Sydney (6 hours' drive). www.jaspersvillageresort.com.au

The venue for Sydney intensives is BodyMindLife Yoga, Surry Hills.
