Melbourne/Naarm & Rishikesh, India
July - October, 2027Â
Â
THE BRIDGE SCHOOL 200 Hour training is a unique course anchored in the teachings of Traditional Hatha Yoga that invites any dedicated student of Yoga to build a powerful personal practice from which they can lead others skilfully and authentically.
We are passionate about igniting the fire of inspiration that can only truly come from your own lived experience of Yoga and Meditation.Â
This training will provide you with a deep understanding of Hatha Yoga, it’s history, philosophy and practice as tools to harness human potential and live a more conscious and connected life.Â
From the student emerges the teacher…
  The ExperienceÂ
Â
This experience centres on understanding your own practice as a system for enhancing awareness, personal power and purposeful action.
Over the past decade, we have trained hundreds of dedicated students and practitioners, building a community grounded in embodiment, awe, and genuine inquiry.
We firmly believe one can only teach authentically from lived experience. Everything we offer — from asana and sequencing to philosophy, energetics and peer-reviewed research — is drawn from what we have practised, tested and integrated ourselves. The 200 Hour training is no different. It is not a course you complete; it is a journey you undergo.
The structure of this training is deliberate. Rather than compressing the teachings into a single intensive, we work across several months — four in-person weekends in Melbourne (or online) that allow you to absorb, practise and return with questions — before travelling together to Rishikesh, India, the birthplace of Yoga, for a 10-day immersion. The pacing is the teaching. Integration is built into the design.
Whether you are a newer student hungry to go deeper, or an experienced practitioner ready for the next stage of your evolution, this training meets you where you are. We do not require advanced physical practice. We ask for openness, curiosity and the willingness to look honestly at your own experience — because that is the only foundation from which real teaching can grow.
Run by Irene and Ziggy — two teachers and health professionals with decades of experience between them — every session is woven with lived experience, philosophical understanding and practical wisdom.
If you are looking to understand yourself and the world more fully, this is the training for you.
  The LocationÂ
Â
Melbourne / Naarm — & anywhere in the world
The training is anchored in Melbourne across four full weekend immersions, each beginning with a Friday night Zoom call to set the intention and prepare for the days ahead.
Every session is recorded and uploaded immediately, so wherever you are in the world you can participate fully and revisit the teachings in your own time. Each year we welcome students from across the globe — this is a truly international community, united by a shared commitment to the practice.
Rishikesh, IndiaÂ
For ten years we have travelled to Rishikesh — the birthplace of Yoga — as an act of pilgrimage. To practise in the place where this tradition was born is something that simply cannot be replicated.
It is where the teachings come alive. The entire cohort immerses together for 10 days, deepening the bonds of community and arriving at the roots of this ancient practice.
Every year we have the privilege of welcoming Pandit Ji Baskaran — a Vedic and Yogic Master — to join us for the entire immersion. Having studied with Ji for many years, we consider his presence one of the most treasured gifts we can offer our students.
He is a man who lives the teachings wholly, and to share him with our community is something very special to us. This is a deeply unique opportunity.
