WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

I have lived and breathed Yoga/Pilates/Wellness for 35 years. I have taught for over 20 years. I have been training others for over a decade. I continue to invest in my own personal and professional development. And now? 

It is time…
For me to peel back the curtain on my own business…
For me to share my wisdom with you…
And for you to share your wisdom with the world!

You will work with me – the Founder of the Ordinary People Academy – on a 1:1 basis for a 6-month period and will receive accredited professional development training in Yoga or Pilates as well as strategic business training, soul-led leadership coaching, nervous system regulation, and personal accountability to take you to the next level (and to give you the mindset to deal with your success!)

METHODOLOGY

The Soulful Movement Mastery programme is housed on the Ordinary People Academy’s Online Studio.

The training is a mixture of:

  • pre-recorded videos and audios that you can access at any time
  • required reading which includes classical and contemporary books and a comprehensive manual
  • filling in a Learner Achievement Portfolio (including creating your own set of class plans)
  • taking part in the 1:1 calls as well as practice teaching in between calls

Yoga was originally transmitted from teacher to student in a rich personal relationship (the gurukula system) and Joseph Pilates trained his Elders on a bespoke basis. This 1:1 mentorship will guide you in the traditional way using modern means of communication (Zoom and WhatsApp).

This course might be online but that doesn’t mean any drop in quality. In fact, this is an intimate training where I will be working with you on a 1:1 basis to help you become an embodied LEADER and not just a teacher.

When you sign up to the training you will receive a “care parcel” from me which gives you something tangible to go along with the ephemeral.

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY

For those who choose the Yoga path of Soulful Movement Mastery, I’m partnering with world-renowned Yoga Educators & best-selling authors of Yoga Anatomy, Leslie Kaminoff & Amy Matthews.

Using what they’ve learned in their combined 50-years of experience training yoga teachers, they’ve created a unique online course that’s exclusively available through Teacher Training programmes: YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals.

This is not your average anatomy training!

Leslie & Amy spend time on the things that matter most to a yoga teacher and skip the “which bone is which” lessons that make you feel like you’re back in high school science classes…

They’ll help you establish a broad base of knowledge by sharing examples, analogies, stories, and guiding you through physical experiments that make the material helpful and applicable to teaching yoga to students.

Leslie & Amy will also share their own favorite teaching strategies like:

* How to make poses accessible for any student
* What to do when students have an injury and still want to practice
* Simple cues that help every student find success on the mat

Leslie and Amy’s unique blend of humor and expertise make them the absolute best team to guide you through this phase of your journey, plus you’ll work with Victoria to consolidate the learning.

YOUR GUIDE

Hi! I’m Victoria Cunningham, founder of the Ordinary People Academy and the creator of award-winning charity Stretch & Play, one of the first globally recognised Yoga Alliance Professionals Trainer PROs and I’ve created this 6-month container to help you realise your vision for your life and business. 

Having taught Yoga for 24 years, Pilates for 18 and training others for over a decade, I have been feeling called to create something new, something deeper, for you. A way to help you on a deeply personal level. Not just another training programme.

I love my group Yoga, Pilates and Breathwork Teacher Training courses and they will continue but THIS… this is not passive, or generic, or held back by the accreditation process. This is different… This is about becoming an embodied leader, not just a teacher.

This is my signature coaching package where you will be my top priority for the next six months as we build your dream life together. 

This is a perfect mix of 1:1 coaching, mentoring and training together with self-directed study, personal accountability, practical action steps and resources.

When you sign up you will receive a “care package” including a custom designed Mala (worth $108), a Desire Map Diary (worth $50) and a couple of other surprises.

You will undertake an in-depth apprenticeship, where you work with me on a 1:1 basis, and will gain practical teaching and business skills that are suited to your exact needs.

Using the lens of Ayuveda, the Enneagram, and the Chakras you will define your authentic teaching style.

You will receive access to my renowned Stretch Your Biz business course for wellness professionals and business skills support to become a LEADER and not just a teacher.

SCHEDULE

Because we’re working on a 1:1 basis the sessions are shorter but much more intensive than in a class setting. It will be expected that you complete work outside of those contact hours and you will receive unlimited WhatsApp support during the six months to help you do this.

You will receive:

  • 12 x 2-hour live Yoga/Pilates skills training sessions
  • 6 x 2-hour coaching appointments for mindset coaching and to plan your wellness business
  • A full library of pre-recorded training videos
  • Additional Yoga Anatomy training for those on the Yoga path
  • Unlimited WhatsApp support for 6 months
  • One year’s access to the Ordinary Peeople Academy’s online studio with recordings of all live calls for a full year after graduation

I believe that you need time to assimilate the teachings of Yoga or Pilates so we will work together for a total of six months on your Soulful Movement Mastery. Working 1:1 gives us flexibility so your final assessment will only take place when you feel ready.

I would love for you to take the next step in your practice and business and earn your Yoga or Pilates Certification from the comfort of your own home AND save thousands of pounds doing it. No paying for travel, accommodation or the added expense of in-person training! And, with my help, you can start to earn back your investment before we’ve even completed the course!

TESTIMONIALS

Since I started the course I have found a deeper love of yoga and the course has honestly changed me as a person. I feel much more confident in my chosen path, more grounded and present, and I’ve loved learning so much in all the different areas covered in each class! I feel I’ve achieved much more happiness since starting on the course.  I could not recommend this course enough, it’s a lifetime investment!!!!!
Beverley, Ireland 2020 Yoga Graduate

Before I signed up I thought “What sort of teacher would be taking the course – strict, scary, demanding….??? What if the course wasn’t for me after spending a lot of money and not enjoying it….” However, I have enjoyed every moment of this course, and would recommend to anyone who has the slightest thought or strongest desire to train as a yoga teacher. The online training covers so much, but with Victoria’s help, guidance, knowledge and patience you feel at ease throughout.
Jill, England 2021 Yoga Graduate

The support, pace and materials are all excellent and Victoria is the icing on the cake, making you feel positive at all times. Doing the course 1:1 allowed me to pass confidently while working full-time. Learning should be fun and allow you to develop your passion that started you on this journey and this is what the Ordinary People Academy excels at.

Yvonne, Scotland 2022 Pilates Graduate

I would recommend the Ordinary People Academy to anyone looking to expand their practice beyond the mat. This is more than teacher training, it’s a fully immersive experience into the history and practice of yoga. I have grown as a person and feel that I have benefitted, not just from a set curriculum of teachings, but from the wealth of knowledge and experience that the trainer possessed.
Angela, Scotland 2020 Yoga Graduate

You stood out as a tutor as you understood the pressure of everyone’s life and the juggle it takes to prioritise your own needs. There was no pressure or negative vibes and that is something i really appreciated given the stress of my life while attending your tutoring sessions. It ( and you ) was a breath of fresh air in the hustle and bustle of a busy life.
