From Practitioner to Teacher: Is This Your Next Chapter?

If you've thought about becoming a yoga teacher —
Chances are you've also thought about why you can't.
The money story.
"You can't make a living from yoga."
The readiness story.
"My practice isn't good enough yet."
The confidence story.
"I'm not the type of person who stands at the front of a room."
Karl has heard every one of these.
He had most of them himself.
This workshop was built for exactly those three thoughts.
E-RYT 500 | Studio Founder | International Speaker
From Burnout to Vocation
I was an IT project manager. Microsoft certified. ITIL qualified. Good at my job. Going nowhere that felt purposeful.
I walked into a yoga class because my body was breaking down. I walked out knowing something had shifted. Two years of practice and I thought about Teacher Training.
I had the money story: How could I leave a government job to be a yoga teacher.
I did the training anyway. And twelve years later I run One Big Heart — AUSactive National Studio of the Year 2023 and 2025. 8,000 students. 2,500 visits a month. One of only 178 E-RYT 500 credentialled teachers in Australia.
Here's what Karl will tell you directly from the position of studio owner with 20 teachers workign under me for the past 10 years
Any training can certify you. Only the right one makes you confident.
Very few actually prepare you to stand in a room and teach. I built OBH 200Hr TT to close that gap — and I've spent twelve years identifying exactly what separates a training that produces confident teachers from one that just puts a certificate in peoples hand.
More the just an info session
I'm inviting you to this workshop so I can teach you a framework that took me twelve years to build. One that can be applied to every teacher training in Australia when researching who you should go with— including mine. You'll leave knowing exactly which training is right for you and why.
In 60 minutes you'll walk away with:
The Confident Teacher Framework — five criteria to evaluate any 200HR teacher training and know whether it will actually prepare you to teach
An honest picture of what the teaching career genuinely looks like — the real numbers, the real lifestyle, not the marketing version
Clarity on whether your current practice is ready — and what ready actually means
Real stories from OBH graduates — where they started, what changed, and where they are now
An exclusive enrolment offer available on the night only — for those who decide the framework points them here
Straight answers to every question you've been sitting with — Karl will tell you honestly if this isn't the right path for you
