‘This Yoga Teacher Training programme with Charli and her team is, without a doubt one of the best things I’ve done in my life. It has been incredibly unique, empowering and transformational in learning the art of teaching Yoga. Charli is an incredible person, teacher trainer and mentor. She radiates love and joy and is so very inspirational, warm and nurturing and always leading from the heart. Charli and her team of faculty members are all extremely knowledgable in their respective fields and as a team they bring good balance of teaching styles, wisdom, insight and compassion to the programme. The content of this programme is fascinating, varied and thorough and the small group sizes mean that students get personal attention in building their foundation to teach safely and confidently. It has been a true privilege to have had the opportunity to train with Charli and her team. My most heartfelt thank you for all that you have done for me.’
Welcome!
This September Spirit Ash Studio and Charli Van Ness (Senior E-RYT-500hrs, RYS200hrs, YACEP Provider) are opening their doors to the community to inspire, empower, enrich, transform and educate individuals to learn how to teach Yoga, either for their own self development or as a profession. This is a 200hrs Yoga Teacher Training Course spread over a 9 month period delivering a fresh, unique & a creative approach to yoga.
We have created a Yoga Alliance 200 hrs Yoga Teacher Training Course to help others find their own unique style of teaching rather than following a set format & structure specifically, to encourage freedom, creativity and intuition to their classes and self development.
This is a unique ‘heart based’ training course. The core essence to the training is to allow the individual to remain true to their essence in teaching yet provide them with a vast and diverse set of tools to choose from to help create their own way and lead their own light from their hearts. We are unique beings and deserve to be celebrated for our own individual beauty. Our 200hrs Foundation Level Teacher Training Course is for ‘real people with real bodies’
No matter what your age, size or level of ability, we welcome you all to be a part of this magical journey of self discovery and growth to expand your light to share with others.
Whether you are a regular practitioner of yoga looking to learn more about this ancient practice or are a registered yoga teacher already working in the industry this course can accommodate you all.
‘Charli encourages every student to bring out their own unique teaching style, in a nurturing environment. Her teaching style and support, both on the course and after completion is exemplary. It is the best decision I could have made and the YTT has been transformational, truly life changing. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for Charli and her faculty.’

‘Using the words of Meggan Roxanne ‘Who I was at the beginning of the year, is nothing compared to who I am now. Thank god for growth and self love and all the opportunities that arose directly after I reminded myself of who I am and what I deserve’ This teacher training course has been that opportunity and it has reminded me over and over again of the beauty, light and potential we each hold whilst equipping me at the same time to go out and safely teach yoga’.

‘The Yoga Rhythm teacher training programme, run by Charli Sparks, left me fully prepared to teach, having expanded my understanding of both myself and the fullness of yoga more than I would have ever believed possible. Charli’s classes are small, quality driven and focus entirely on developing you into a confident teacher. I would highly recommend this course, over and above other courses that I am familiar with from personal research and the testimonials of others. A truly rewarding experience, I went straight into teaching and feel confident and enriched. Thankyou Charli and Yoga Rhythm’.
