About the Level 3 Yoga Certificate

Originating in ancient India, Yoga is a system of physical and mental practices which aim to unify the body and the mind. There are numerous strands of yoga, all of which incorporate a number of different low-impact movements and a range of difficulty levels. The calm, relaxing nature of yoga means that it can be practised anywhere by almost anyone. Those who regularly do yoga find that it is a great way to boost energy levels and combat stress and fatigue.

During the course of this online yoga qualification, students will develop a theoretical and practical knowledge of yoga. Starting with breathing techniques, they will first learn how to align their breath with their movements to increase relaxation. Students will then go on to learn about the different types of yoga such as Hatha and Astanga, and discover how to put these philosophies into practice. By the end of the course, learndirect learners will have a number of exercise routines under their belt.

Who should study this course?

This distance learning course offers students a fascinating introduction to yogic practises. Regardless of whether the student is a total beginner, or has attended a number of classes, this online qualification promises to take their yoga practise to the next level.

As this is a home study course, there will not been any classes to attend. This means that our students will be practising their movements at a time and place that suits them. Given this situation, we do recommend that anyone enrolling on this course has a calm and quiet space in which to complete their studies.

They may also choose to study our Yoga for Health course and further discover the benefits of yoga.
