No — there is no formal prerequisite for this course. However, some personal experience of yoga or yoga-type classes is desirable before you start, as the in-person training days build on a basic familiarity with the practice. You don't need to be able to do advanced postures — you need a genuine interest in yoga and the motivation to develop your teaching skills. If you're unsure whether you're at the right stage, speak to our team before enrolling.

Possibly. If you hold a Level 2 Group Fitness qualification, there may be unit overlap that qualifies you for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) on certain elements of the Yoga Diploma. Speak to our team before enrolling and we'll assess your existing qualifications and map out the most efficient route for you.

The course includes six structured in-person training days, currently delivered in Glasgow. You can view upcoming cohort dates and book your place in the Training Dates section above. If you have a question about a specific date or venue, speak to our team.

The practice hours log is a documented record of your yoga teaching and personal practice throughout the course. It forms part of your qualification assessment and reflects your development as a yoga teacher. Full guidance on the log — including the required hours and how to record them — is provided within your course materials from day one.

The Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga Sessions is not currently CIMSPA endorsed. It is awarded by Focus Awards and regulated by Ofqual, giving it national recognition as a Level 3 qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. This does not affect its validity or recognition across the fitness and wellness industry. As a CIMSPA Enhancing Status Education Partner, MFE delivers all its qualifications to the highest professional standards.

With the Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga Sessions, you can teach yoga professionally across a wide range of settings — including gyms, leisure centres, independent yoga studios, corporate wellness programmes, community classes and private sessions. You'll also be able to apply for professional insurance as a qualified yoga instructor. Many graduates teach yoga alongside an existing fitness career, adding it as a complementary discipline to PT, Pilates or group exercise work.

The course is structured around six in-person training days plus the online academic elements. Most learners complete the full qualification over several months working alongside their existing commitments. You have up to 2 years from your enrolment date to complete your qualification.
