HOW TO REACH YOUR POTENTIAL AS A YOGA TEACHER
Our challenge as teachers is to find balance in our classes - offering a practice that is both inclusive and accessible, as well as offering the challenges that lead to expansion and evolution.
Our role is not to command, but to guide students along a path that allows them to make discoveries about themselves. Through these discoveries they can begin to feel connected, not only to each other and the greater community, but to themselves. The desire for connection, both internal and external, is our greatest human need. As Teachers, we sit at the nexus of spirituality, ethics, modern lifestyle, and activism, and we can teach these concepts through the magic of asana.
BIPOC Scholarship available for two students.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO COMPLETE A YTT WITH US?
Our boutique training is limited to just a small group of practitioners - we want to meet and connect with every one of you, learn your names, your stories and give you the most transformative experience possible. So don't expect large cohorts of students, and with THREE Facilitators, this is an intimate training with a high facilitator-to-student ratio.
We are not interested in producing cookie-cutter teachers. We are so proud of the unique voices and teaching styles that graduate from our training every year. Our focus is on small numbers and quality graduates who infuse knowledge, confidence, and their own unique personality throughout their classes, and this is why we only run one Teacher Training every year, so that you get the best of us too!
Yoga Teacher Trainings are by far the best way to immerse yourself in all the various elements of yoga beyond what you would experience in a class and is truly a transformative experience, even if you choose not to teach classes afterwards. You do NOT have to become a teacher afterwards, and many of our students use a training as an in-depth in-studio retreat to deepen their love of the practice without becoming a teacher.
Our unique training is a modern fusion of online content delivered through our training portal, and face-to-face contact through weekend intensives at our studio. Between online lectures, live seminars, group interactive zoom calls, and chat forums, we deliver our theory component. We reserve our face-to-face time for interactive workshops, and developing the most crucial skills teaching & facilitation skills you will need to give you the confidence to teach a class, the day you wake up after graduation!

Eve Gindein
For Eve (she/her) yoga is a de-masking, a coming back to self. Once a dedicated student in a class format, she now has a disciplined self-practice across multiple movement and spirituality practices and she aims to inspire her students to feel empowered to do the same.
What you can expect from her teaching style are physical challenge, anatomically intelligent sequencing, warmth and friendliness and ALWAYS humour.
Originally completing her 200hr RYT with Power Living Australia under the guidance of Duncan Peak, Emee Dillon, Keenan Crisp, Adam Whiting and Shawn Taylor in 2015, Eve has since acquired a further 300 registered hours of training in Power Vinyasa, Advanced Vinyasa, Laughing Lotus, Yin, KX Pilates, Functional Yoga Anatomy and the Psychology of Yoga.
However, she has taken the most value and influence from the unregistered hours of training under incredible individuals with their unique styles, including but not limited to; Shaney Aalbers, Wendy Wesson, Les Leventhal, Adam Whiting, Keenan Crisp, Shawn Taylor, Nadine McNiel, Patrick Beach and Carling Harps.
Eve expertly melds her love of yogic philosophy & the psychology of yoga, with her deep passion for movement theory, anatomy, and intelligent sequencing in this YTT. She will be leading the Anatomy & Physiology components, as well as safe alignment theory and modern movement styles for a long & happy yoga practice that honours the form you live in.
Ritika Purang-Dhanak
Ritika’s love of yoga is palpable and her willingness to share and dialogue on philosophy is tender and light hearted and wide open to both teaching and learning. Ritika (she/her) was born in India, moving to Kenya at age 4 and then in her late teens returned to India to study, but for the last 5.5 years has called Perth home.
Ritika had her fair share of introductions with yoga as a child, watching her grandparents doing their pranayamas every morning, and her mother practicing yoga when she was younger but she didn’t dive into yoga herself until much older, in her early twenties.
8 years ago, Ritika was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and her therapist suggested regular yoga. Ritika embarked on a journey to heal herself. This healing wasn’t just the external bits and pieces, but rather the various practices within the yogic lifestyle leading her down a path of discovery of self, her purpose, and her existence and, as the granddaughter of a Sanskrit Scholar, it was one of the many ways she began to connect back to her history and culture. This isn’t to say that she now has it all figured out, but her faith in the practices, and guidance from her many spiritual teachers, takes her forward.
Ritika has studied the yogic philosophy in great depth, teaches yoga, and is a yogic lifestyle coach and a writer. She also loves everything water, be it river, lake, ocean and loves her (gluten-free vegan) desserts.
Ritika delivers wonderful layers of Sanskrit wisdom, yogic philosophy, history, yogic lifestyle, Bhakti and cultural education to our annual Yoga Teacher Training. She wraps this knowledge in humour, kindness, and the gift of taking these sometimes complex concepts and distilling them to their most profound essence.
Kaye Waterhouse
As the creator of Vital Beat studio 8 years ago, Kaye (she/her) infuses a warmth and playfulness to her classes that feels like a cool drink of water on a hot day. Whether it’s guiding her students into a deep sleepy yin class, or layering them with creative flows design to cultivate heat/tapas in an environment buoyed by music and laughter, Kaye believes that yoga is a playground and an opportunity to experience pure joy – for no other reason than we deserve this gift.
Kaye’s road into yoga has been a long & winding mental health journey and she believes in the power of the practice to serve us not only on the mat, but out into our daily lives & communities too. She actively uses yoga to support her health as part of an active toolkit for wellbeing, and to navigate the complexities of being neurodiverse. Her training extends from dynamic vinyasa in her initial 200 hours in 2015, to further study & trainings in Lotus Flow (the vinyasa style of which she now most feels at home), Bhakti Yoga & mantra, Prenatal Yoga & Postpartum yoga, Yin yoga, Vedic Mythology, Sound Therapy, Trauma-informed Yoga, and Yoga for Social Equity.
She comes from a background in Architecture, and Nutritional Medicine, and is also a trained Reformer & Mat Pilates Instructor.
Kaye brings her love of Bhakti, Mantra, mythology, and chanting to the YTT, as well as her training & experience in Pre & Postnatal yoga, and her human biology background for physiology & body systems, as well as theming, music, and storytelling in classes.

DO YOU IDENTIFY AS A PERSON OF COLOUR?
At Vital Beat we are very aware of the lack of diversity that can be found in Australian yoga studios, especially in Perth. We believe we have a responsibility to increase the diversity & accessibility of our yoga classes to Black & Indigenous People of Colour (BIPOC). We feel the best way to do that is to start at the top, by actively seeking to train BIPOC teachers, so that they have a greater representation in Perth and Australian yoga studios.
If you identify as Black, or Indigenous, or a Person of Colour, we encourage you to apply for one of our two BIPOC Scholarships.
