E-RYT

Monday, February 24th, 2025 | News

It’s been five years since I completed my yoga teacher training and it has been a brilliant journey. While I have enjoyed teaching a lot of the asana classes we would be familiar with in the UK, a lot of my teaching has focused on pratyhata, dharana and dyhana and allowed me to bring in a lot of my mindfulness work and that has been fantastic.

In many cases, such as my Yoga for Resilience workshops, we’ve combined multiple aspects of yoga to produce a well-rounded course and I feel that this has been when I’ve done my most impactful teaching.

I’m excited to announce I now have sufficient teaching hours to reach the E-RYT designation, which stands for Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher.

Alongside this, Holbeck College is now a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider. Later this year, we will be rolling out some Yoga Alliance certified CPD courses.

100,000 Udemy students

Saturday, September 21st, 2024 | News

Yesterday, my total number of Udemy students ticked over 100,000.

It’s a cool landmark. Udemy isn’t the only platform I teach on so I’ve been at this number in totaL for a while. But great to reach it on an influential platform like Udemy alone.

It’s been quite a year for 100,000s as Running For Beginners reached this number in January and Triathlon For Beginners reached this number in April.

Triathlon For Beginners reaches 100,000 members

Tuesday, April 9th, 2024 | News

In 2018, I launched my course Triathlon For Beginners and subsequently set up a Facebook group to facilitate peer support. Six years later and I am pleased to announce the group has now hit 100,000 members.

My Running For Beginners group did the same in January.

I have some battle stories from what spammers will try in a group that size 😆. But it has been wonderful to watch so many people sharing stories, encouragement and support.
