Well, hello there! Interested in a training program with us?
Wonderful! You have landed at the right place…
Y+ Teacher Training Program has been designed and updated multiple times over the past 8 years with a central focus in mind — BALANCE.
Like all the other programs out there in the industry, we cover the 4 key areas:
Physical practice, or known as asana
Anatomy + Physiology
Philosophy + Humanities
Teaching Methodology
How is Y+ Teacher Training Program unique from the rest?
Each of the 4 key areas are treated with equal importance. Whilst other programs may gloss over some aspects, we do the reverse - Deep Dive into all aspects about Yoga!
The instructors are specialists in their fields. Very rare will you come across a medical doctor, a yoga philosophy student, and a movement specialist teaching in one program!
The program is designed in a secular, academic manner so you can be assured that it is rigorous and in-depth!
Don’t take our word for it. Check out what our graduates have to say!
Structure of the program
This newly updated Yoga+ Teacher Training Program is a 24-day HYBRID program comprising 4 Modules. Each module takes 6 days to complete.
-
In Part 1 of the training, you will be introduced to our Yoga+ Dynamic Flow which is a set sequence that covers a wide ranging poses.
Additionally, you will also cover the basic standing yoga poses and how to execute them properly with / without props, a general understanding of muscles and an overview of yoga history spanning across thousands of years.Asana: Standing Balancing Series
Anatomy: Muscular System + Terms of Movement
Philosophy: History of Yoga -
In Part 2 of the training, you will be encountering a deeper understanding of the human body and exploring the texts that many, if not all, yoga graduates reference. In terms of the asana practice, we dive deep into poses that focuses on strength.
Asana: Warrior Series, Arm Balance + Inversions
Anatomy: Skeletal + Digestive systems in relation to yoga poses
Philosophy: Understanding Yoga Sutras -
In part 3 of the training, you can expect more complex poses and knowledge being shared, now that you have established a good foundation.
Asana:
Backbends + Seated Poses
Anatomy:
Respiratory + Cardiovascular systems related to yoga poses
Philosophy:
The Human Body + Universe -
In this final part of the training, you will be learning the last few poses typically used during cool-down period of a yoga class. Additionally you will apply what you have learnt and transform it to teaching practice.
Asana:
Reclined poses
Teaching Methodology:
Frameworks of sequencing + Techniques of cueing
The 90-min asana practice, followed by the deep dive on alignment of yoga poses takes place in person.
Location: Yoga+ Somerset Studio
Time: 8am - 12pm.
Philosophy and anatomy theory takes place online via a series of pre-recorded sessions and live interaction.
Because you will have access to these pre-recorded sessions ahead of time, you get to learn at your own pace and re-visit the materials when you are unclear. Additionally, you can pose questions during the live sessions.
Full YTT Schedule
We have prepared the full schedule on what will be covered during each day of the YTT Programme.
In the event that you have to miss some sessions, this program schedule will give you an idea on what you need to cover. Do inform any of the instructors ahead of time and we will schedule a catch-up session, or two, where necessary.

The lead instructors
Leading the Yoga Teacher Training program are our two co-founders, Dr Bianca and Suffian. Both are specialists in the field and will be co-teaching aspects of the Teacher Training Program.
Both of them have been teaching yoga since 2015 and they have seen over 20+ (and counting!) batches of Yoga Teacher Trainings.
Assisting them is Sabrina Jabbar, a long-standing teacher with Yoga+.
-
Growing up, it’s fair to say that Bianca constantly sought to improve people’s lives. As she tinkered with a toy rubber stethoscope, her mother’s white cardigan, a memo “prescription” she knew since then she was to be a doctor.Dead set on her dreams, she went on to earn her doctorate in medicine at a tender age of 24, having finished with highest honours from an accelerated premedical program in the Philippines and graduating top in her batch.
With her childhood dreams fulfilled, she felt her medical profession ironically took a toll on her. The long arduous 36 hour shifts led her to rethink her life goal.
Bianca’s practice roots from the empowerment that comes with a seamlessly aligned asana. She encourages her students to cultivate peace in an asana through the union of strength flexibility in harmony with the breath.
With her strong medical and anatomical background, she provides a safe space for her students to seek serenity, balance, and refuge.
Radical and even taboo for some, she hung up her coat but never resigned from her drive to make a difference.
She continues to live her dreams, still treating people but now on the mat, clad in tights and a prescription for patience.
-
One of his students describes him as “the most personality in a yoga teacher in Singapore” which would give you a big hint to the engaging and fun group classes that he teaches.On the the flip side, Suffian is a serious student of yoga history and philosophy, and his heart lies in the study of religion.
After teaching for 4 years, Suffian attained his RYT-300 certification from Radiantly Alive in 2019 under the tutelage of movement master, Carlos Tao. In the same year, he continued his studies, attending summer school in Oxford University reading world religion as well as the inaugural Yoga summer school in SOAS (School of Oriental & African Studies).
All that knowledge that he is constantly acquiring is being translated into unique workshops that he conducts, blending eastern philosophy and history with asana practice.
As a lululemon legacy ambassador and an advocate of mindful living, Suffian uses whatever platforms he can to allow the people around him to search for and grow into the best version of themselves.
Yoga is as much internal growth as it is external.
