Live to Serve Yoga Teacher Training: Health for a Higher Purpose

Live the yoga lifestyle, centred around service and spiritual practice.

Live to Serve Academy is delighted to add Yoga Teacher Training courses to our extensive selection of course offerings. A trusted Ayurvedic course provider on the Gold Coast for over six years, we have been working on the development of our Yoga Teacher Trainings for almost a decade.

Each of our teacher trainings have been developed to guide and inspire students as they move towards discovering their spiritual essence and purpose.

Our teaching faculty includes passionate teachers and allied health professionals, enabling our students to access both Western and Eastern knowledge, setting them up to be well-rounded and holistic teachers.
