Testimonials

“Being affiliated to a studio like Sweatfiit has been the most valuable aspect to my training, as I could maintain and build on my own regular practice during teacher training, and had the support of friendly faces and a familiar space which took the edge off the nerves of teaching my first class. Teacher training at Sweatfiit has changed my career path which I did not expect. I used to work full time as a nurse in the NHS, I now teach regularly at Sweatfiit, and have set up my own business with a view to spreading the power of Hot Yoga far and wide. Sarah is an inspiration to work with as much as she is an inspiration to sweat with, and I have learnt so much more than postures through training at Sweatfiit”

Emily Hunter

“I had the pleasure of doing Teacher Training with Sarah last year, 2022 Class of Bikram Yoga TT and it was absolutely fantastic! It develops your practice, your confidence and your knowledge. Sarah can turn you into a fantastic teacher of any kind. Just do it!”

    We cannot guarantee a regular teaching slot at SweatFIIT but there will be the opportunities to teach for the strongest trainees.
