Be placed on our Method waitlist and keep updated!
The Light Collective Method is a one year, 500hr yoga teacher training. It offers clients a deep dive into the spiritual Indian tradition of yoga and many of the energetic aspects that aren't taught in other trainings.
We initiate into over 100 techniques in pranayama, (breath work) mantra, (sacred sound) meditation, (mindfulness) and Kundalini Kriya. We also provide insight into the Classical Tantrik Tradition of Yoga through the philosophy and history of the ancient texts and practices that are only being revealed in the past decade.
We focus on using a structured sadhana as the model for learning, so that trainees become embodied in the techniques and philosophy through their own daily practice, which is provided to them each month.
Weekly livestream calls from our teachers and mentors allow trainees to have ongoing support throughout the year, allowing everyone to stay motivated engaged and of course, part of a beautiful community of loving connected like-minded humans!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Cos we know you got them.
-
As this is an online course, if you want to take it in your own time you can, it may affect how many hours of accreditation you receive though, as the weekly calls form part of your 'hours'
You will receive access to these teachings online for a minimum of 2 years.
We encourage the 1 year commitment as we want you to dive deep into these practices and embody them completely. This is actually the real teaching.
-
Yes! We have had so many different people join us- from naturopaths, massage therapists, reiki healers, long time yoga practitioners, people working corporate jobs, as well as yoga and meditation teachers. Having your Yoga Teacher Training is helpful, because you have a grounding in yoga practices and philosophy, but a commitment to your own practice is what is most important.
-
Yes! This training provides you with over 100 new practices and techniques that will inspire your classes, workshops, retreats and trainings.
It also gives you a structure for your personal practice so that you can embody everything that you are learning and will teach.
It brings you in connection with other teachers and people on the path, community is a huge part of what we create together.
You also have access to Sian Pascale as a support and mentor over the course of the year. There are also opportunities for graduates to teach for the Light Collective at their workshops and trainings.
-
Yes! When Sian trained with her tantra teacher, she did the same training with him 5 times over 2 years! Each time she learnt something more, had a different perspective and went deeper into the practice and philosophy.
Many of our students have done the method twice and we offer those doing it again a 50% discount.
-
Some practices are better done in the morning. Others we suggest you do at night. It isn’t so important when you practice, but it is important that you do practice.
-
The daily Sadhana is generally between 30 - 45 minutes, on top of that you will be meditating for 24 minutes.
The discipline of a self practice is an important aspect of the TLC Method- it’s what will take you from being a good teacher to an amazing teacher.
Stick with us and we will get you through it in a year, but in the end it’s your own journey.
Committing to self practice will bring up resistance- you will notice all of the excuses and limitations you have been creating to stop you from creating a dedicated self practice suddenly arise.
This is part of the process. If you miss your self practice it is only you who will know.
-
Just a yoga mat, meditation supports like a cushion if you need and a blanket to stay comfy.
-
Yes through both Yoga Alliance and IICT.
The Light Collective is a Yoga Alliance School and Continuing Education Provider.
We are also IICT certified training providers.
This is important as it means this work has been verified by 2 governing bodies and when you graduate you will be able to receive insurances to teach these practices.
-
IICT have awarded us 500hrs accredited training as they consider both the teachings and the daily practice to be considered in the training. In order to receive the 500hrs you will need to demonstrate:
- You have completed 100hrs of prerecorded content.
- You have attended 50% of calls and watched back all of the live recordings.
- You have done a daily sadhana for around 11 months (350hrs) through a log book.Yoga Alliance does not include daily self practice as part of their accreditation. This means you can claim through them only:
- 100 hrs of prerecorded content
- 50 hrs of live mentoring calls
If you do not complete the course within the 1 year time frame and watch all the calls you can still claim the 100hrs of content.You can claim these hours from both of these governing bodies.
-
You are banned for life. Jokes.
We understand that there may be times where you can’t make the call- this is your training after all!
But those calls are the chance you get to connect with Sian Pascale and the TLC team and be mentored and get extra teachings, ask questions, meditate and practice together, connect with the community, practice teaching techniques and much much more.
So we just suggest you put it in your diary and make it a non-negotiable and enjoy the exclusive perks of being part of the TLC Method.
We also record the calls so you can catch up with them at your convenience. If you decide the calls aren't important to you (live or rewatching) then you gain accreditation through Yoga Alliance but for only 100hrs as opposed to the extra 50 hours of calls.
-
If you decide to cancel, you will still receive access (providing you have paid) to the online teachings for the same mimimum 2 year period.
We don't provide refunds for cancelations.
-
If you make it through the whole year, and complete everything necessary, by the end you would be qualified through IICT to teach everything that you are initiated into in the course.
You could then incorporate the pranayama and Kriya and all the other techniques into your classes or sessions or do stand alone pranayama and meditation classes.
But if you want to call yourself a Yoga Teacher you need to complete a YTT200.
