Yoga Teachers, why would you need a 50 hour Chakra training?

In a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training we would expect to get to touch upon the Chakra system of the Tantric Tradition.

As with all elements of yoga, you can only go so far in your first training. Sometimes there is just not enough time in the syllabus and sometimes maybe you are not quite ready to jump in.

But there is SO much more on offer in this incredible philosophy. Do you think it's time for you to delve a little deeper?

The Chakra system is a complex, complicated psychological system. It can be seen as yoga's own guide to psychotherapy. It can help us discover why we think the way we think, behave the way we behave and do the things we do.

What is yoga if not the peeling back of the layers, the discovery of the nature of the mind, a true and deep opportunity to get down to some nitty gritty patterns of behaviour and ways of living that you might be enquiring about in your own sadhana and self study.

Now, as a yoga teacher in 2026...I'm sure you are feeling the stretch of having to be a content creator, an instagram influencer, an inspiring and well educated anatomist and philosopher. And all you want to do is teach this beautiful mind-body-peace-enhancing system...

But the study of yoga is about learning who we are. Living our truth, and yoga teaching becomes sharing those truths with whoever we are lucky to have in our classes.

The study of the chakras is a journey into yourself...into what works in your life and what doesn't. The discovery of your purpose, and your dharma, your life's work.

This helps you to become an authentic yoga teacher, a natural sharer of the truth of yoga, and in this way, you will start to magnetise students being drawn to you because of the truth that shines from inside of you.

Working this deeply with the psychology and even touching on the neuroscience of the Chakra system, we can start to see real shifts in our behaviours, our patterns of thinking and the ways we interact with the world around us. This in turns leads to a shift in perspective, a new lease of life and often projects us froward in the world to the fulfilment of our deepest desires.

If you would like to work with me over the next few months, discovering some deeper insights into the Chakra wisdom, discovering some deep truths into who you are and where you are going, then please get in touch! The journey starts 21st October and I have a lovely network of teachers waiting to welcome you!

Meet your guide

I'm Stephanie Bosanko and I'll be guiding you through this 8 week journey.

I'm the founder and director of the Shanticentre Yoga Retreat centre in Italy and I am the creator of Shanticentre Training School which offers CPD Advanced Teacher Training Modules for Yoga Teachers.

I made my first journey through the Chakras before I even became a yoga teacher....

Following my graduation from the University of Kent with a theology degree, I was a little lost in the world, and turned to the Chakra philosophy for some inspiration.

My first journey through the chakras was absolutely and undoubtedly life changing! And by the end of it I was inspired to become a yoga teacher.

Fast forward 26 years and I now train yoga teachers in Continuing Professional Development, and one of my favourite trainings? You guessed it...Chakras!

Course programme and Goals of the training

There are 8 modules in this training, one per week.

The sessions are online in 2 sets of 2 hour chunks on Wednesdays.

The sessions are recorded and uploaded onto a password protected resources page.

The first 2 hour session is a practical class between 9 and 11am UK time.

This is a yoga, meditation, pranayama and mindfulness practice.

The second 2 hour session is a theory and networking session.

I will present information about different aspects of the chakras system and then open for discussion.

You will be expected to share your own personal insights gained from home study during the week.

We will co-create sequences and lesson plans for future events for our students.

Each week you will be expected to put in at least 3 hours personal time to this course. (around 30 minutes per day) This will include reading, creating altars, deep soul work, journaling and personal chakra practice.

At the end of the training you will be asked to submit answers to a chakra test as well as an in depth sequence incorporating the chakra system into an area of your teaching.

You will be given one month to complete this.

Testimonials

I really enjoyed the journey through the chakras with Stephanie, I happened to come across Steph’s wonderful courses during some research online and at that point I was struggling with a few things in my life, I was finding it hard to brake old patterns and habits and after hearing her own story about her first chakra journey I knew it was something I wanted to explore. The course was wonderful and had a great balance of physical, spiritual and emotion elements. Stephanie held the space so well and I instantly felt comfortable and supported in her sessions.

Working with Stephanie has been a genuine gift. She brings such depth, compassion and clarity to her mentoring, meeting you exactly where you are and guiding you forward with confidence and integrity. Her insight and wisdom have been truly transformational — enriching my teaching, strengthening my personal practice, and even shaping how I lead within my studio. I’m deeply grateful for her thoughtful, tailored guidance and would recommend this programme wholeheartedly to any yoga teacher seeking to grow.
