Our Postgraduate 150hr Training is perfect for 200hr+ teachers looking to take their knowledge to the next level. This is the course that teaches you to be a teacher - think advanced asana, meditation, philosophy and delving into biomechanics. We'll look at sequencing, adjusting and teaching methodology, and most importantly, teach you how to find work, develop your personal teaching style and give you the confidence you need to start creating workshops, courses and events!

Our Faculty

Lead Teacher Miriam Van Doorn

Miriam first came to yoga because of sciatica and scoliosis. After attending her first yoga class in 1995 she noticed that her body felt much better and over time her posture started to improve and she had no more pain. With regular practice, she discovered yoga’s benefits in both body and mind, planting a seed that has never stopped growing. “This was my turning point to start studying yoga and become a teacher myself as I wanted to delve deeper and find out how this was at all possible, I have never looked back since.”
​
Miriam has studied with some of the world's best teachers both in Australia and internationally. She has now been teaching for 20 years and is a E-RYT 500 and Level 3 Senior teacher (the highest possible designations!). As one of Brisbane's most senior and loved yoga teachers, you can be assured that you are in the safest of hands!

Miriam leads retreats both locally and internationally, as well as sold out workshops, classes and courses. She is an expert in yoga for women's health and has a passion for prenatal and antenatal yoga. She has a 12 yr old son Keanu, likes the occasional cheeky glass of bubbles and if you're lucky she'll sing to you in savasana. It's amazing - we promise!
Principal PJ Wells

PJ created Stretch Yoga in 2015 and has been firmly at it's helm ever since! She is now in her 6th year of teaching and still holds a strong passion for showing people that the world of yoga can be fun, joyful and light. She loves lame jokes, puppies and wine - get on her good side by bringing (or telling) her any of these! ;)

With two busy studios offering classes, courses, workshops and now teacher training she is an industry leader in Brisbane. She comes from a background in Nutrition and Dietetics and loves to integrate the latest scientific research and biomechanical modifications into her classes while still keeping the essence of what yoga is all about.

She encourages new teachers to find their own voice with compassion and humour.

Testimonials

I consider myself very lucky for having chosen to take my Yoga Teacher Training at Stretch.

Even though I was quite eager to get into teaching, I wasn't just after a certificate that would allow me to deliver yoga classes. I was also looking forward to the self discovery and learning process that would come from my yoga teacher training experience.

And I can totally say that the Stretch Yoga Teacher Training program met and exceeded my expectations not only in that sense, but also in the sense of preparing me with the technical skills needed in order to be a teacher who can lead a meaningful and anatomically safe practice.

The course content is very thorough and interesting. I got to learn so much, but at the same time had a lot of fun whilst attending the classes and going through my workbooks at home.

I also found it amazing how we got to have an experienced movement professional to deliver the anatomy module. When talking to other friends who have recently took their teacher training elsewhere, they all agree that they felt let down when it comes to anatomy and biomechanics.

Thank you so much for this incredible experience and for setting me on the right path in my yoga learning and teaching journey. - Karina A
