This course helps yoga teachers slow down the practice, strip away the performance, and rediscover the real purpose of movement.

You’ll learn how to teach Hatha as an internal, breath-led practice - and how to bridge it intelligently with Flow or hybrid classes.

Learn the art of Hatha Yoga through the craft of teaching, structuring, and sequencing.

In this course, we don’t just practise Hatha - we learn how to teach it.


You’ll discover how to design classes with intention, how to build intelligent sequences, and how to guide students toward a deeper experience of their practice.

By understanding the difference between traditional Hatha Yoga and modern flow, you’ll begin to see Hatha for what it truly is - a return to the basics, where movement has meaning and every cue has purpose.

In Hatha Yoga, you don’t control the breath - you stop disturbing it.

Are you ready to evolve your teaching?

What Makes This Hatha Yoga Course Different?

This training takes you out of performance and back into introspection - which is what yoga was always meant to be.

Ask yourself:
Are your classes becoming more about choreography than connection?
Are you trying to impress students with your sequencing - or help them see yoga beyond the poses?

In Hatha Yoga, the teacher leads students inward, not outward.


This course will help you rediscover that - refining your language, your intention, and your relationship with movement.

 

You’ll learn how to structure classes that make sense for the body and speak to the student’s mind. And in doing so, you’ll start to feel your own practice shift too.

"In Hatha Yoga, you pause long enough to realise - the breath doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to life. You only exist for the few seconds it passes through."

What You’ll Learn 💡

This course takes you deeper into the art of teaching itself.
 

You’ll learn how to structure, sequence, and guide a Hatha class that makes sense for both the body and the mind.

 

We explore:

Hatha Yoga ☀️☾

Learn to teach the quieter practice - one that slows things down, closes the eyes, and turns attention inwards.


You’ll understand how to hold space for students to feel rather than perform, and rediscover the simplicity that modern yoga has forgotten.

Flow 

Understand how modern flow evolved from Hatha - and how to teach it with the same clarity and intelligence.


You’ll see that flow doesn’t need to be fast to be powerful; it just needs purpose.

The Hybrid Approach

We bring the two together - so you can design classes that are both embodied and accessible.


Whether you teach beginners or advanced practitioners, you’ll learn to build sequences that breathe, progress, and speak to real people - not choreography 🫁

By the end, you’ll know how to teach any style in a way that feels authentic to you - grounded in tradition, guided by science, and freed from imitation.

“Hatha Yoga is the art of moving with awareness - a movement guided by breath, not ambition. Somewhere along the way, something so simple was made complicated.
We traded awareness for alignment, and the breath for choreography. But yoga was never about perfection. It was about presence.
Are you ready to return to where it all began?” - Zahir

Hundreds of teachers have gone from hesitant to empowered - all by learning how to teach in a way that is driven by science but guided by the soul.

MEET YOUR TUTOR

I’m Zahir - dad, husband, yoga teacher, and forever seeker.

ZAHIR LAURA

I’ve dedicated half my life to understanding what makes us who - and what - we are.

My studies have taken me from anatomy to philosophy - from the Greeks, who first dissected the human body, to the yogis who say we are not the body. This journey has led me from my parents' birthplace in Kashmir, to the bustling streets of Calcutta, and the serene landscapes of Nepal. I’ve broken down and dissected everything, from the mechanics of breathing to the intricacies of Bandhas.

 

I’ve had a complex relationship with yoga (and in particular breathing). I’ve loved it, critiqued it, fallen out of love with it, had enough of it - and yet, I keep coming back. My understanding of yoga isn’t just a collection of other people’s words or theories. It’s a tapestry woven from my own experiences, filled with moments of doubt, rediscovery, and personal growth.

Yoga has given me the strength to forge my own path, and that’s exactly what I hope to share with you. As the Sufis say, “In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.”

 

This course isn’t about rigid rules or seeking absolute truths. It’s about finding what feels true and right for you, with a heart-centered approach to learning.

Why So Many Teachers Struggle to Teach Hatha Yoga Clearly

It’s easy to hide behind choreography, playlists, and flow - because silence feels exposing.
 

But real teaching begins when you stop performing and start understanding.

Most teachers were never taught what Hatha Yoga truly is - the art of slowing down, saying less, and seeing more.

This course helps you teach from clarity, not choreography - so your students actually feel yoga, not just do it.

I used to think teaching meant keeping students moving — filling every silence with words or music.
But through Zahir’s Hatha training, I finally learned the power of slowing down.

His way of teaching helped me understand that yoga isn’t about performance — it’s about presence.
Now I teach with more calm, more confidence, and more connection than ever before.

BONUS ONE

The Cultural Origins of Yoga course - worth £149

Yoga is not about bending your body -  it is about bending your perception.
 

Without the breath, the poses cease to exist.

 

Just as the sun and moon define the sky together, movement and breath define yoga together. One without the other is incomplete.

In this free Origins of Yoga course, we explore the 1st Yogi Shiva, and Parvati’s ancient wisdom - yoga not as posture, but as perception.

Together with the breathing course, they show you why the breath is not just part of yoga. It is yoga.
