200-hour yoga teacher training
Welcome to Good Culture Club’s first ever 200-hour foundational yoga teacher training
A deeply personal 200-hour yoga teacher training in Mudgee NSW, rooted in an existing yoga community.
Over 10 weekends from March to May 2027, immerse yourself in the expansive tradition of yoga, from anatomy and alignment, to philosophy and seamless sequencing.
We’ll explore the origins of yoga, examine philosophical topics and their application in the modern world, dive into the layers of the physical body, and guide you through the tapestry of cueing and art of teaching.

Meet your teachers
Hannah Edensor
Lead teacher | Good Culture Club
Beginning her teaching journey with a 200-hour training in Mudgee in 2018, under the thoughtful guidance of Laura Humphreys, Hannah has developed a grounding, creative and nurturing teaching style.
Hannah holds the strong belief that yoga is for everyone and can bring about deep healing, growth and connection. Coming to the practice from a mental health perspective, Hannah places self-inquiry, openness, and curiosity as the foundation of her practice and teaching approach.
After guiding countless classes to students from Mudgee and beyond, Hannah opened the Good Culture Club yoga studio in 2023, with thousands of hours of teaching under her belt since completing her training.
In the years since her first YTT, Hannah has completed hundreds of additional hours of training on the physicality of yoga, authentic roots of the yoga tradition, and advanced alignment and asana.
Laura Humphreys
Guest teacher
Laura completed her first 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2009, diving deep into endless hours of practice and self study.
Now with more than a 1000 hours of yoga training and over a decade of teaching and experience, she draws upon the knowledge of many lineages and feels sincerely honoured to share the offerings of her teachers and mentors.
Renowned for her sold-out classes and flawless hands-on assists , Laura has contributed extensively to the Australian yoga scene, from the Gold Coast, to Mudgee and the Sunshine Coast.
Laura is considered a "teacher’s teacher" and has a passion for mentoring other teachers to advance their skills and refine their craft.
Plus more guest teachers to be announced across anatomy, Ashtanga & Yin yoga disciplines.
Why train with Good Culture Club?
-
Train with a maximum of 10 people
We’re keeping this training intentionally small. With just 10 students, there is space to be seen, supported and challenged as an individual. You’ll have meaningful opportunities to practice teaching, receive personal feedback and build genuine relationships with your teachers and fellow trainees.
-
Learn over time, not all at once
Our training gives you something an intensive can't always offer: time between the teaching.
You’ll learn something on the weekend, take it onto your own mat during the week, notice what comes up, practice teaching it, ask questions and return the following weekend with a deeper understanding.
The training becomes part of your life - rather than something you temporarily step away from it to complete.
-
Integrated teaching from the beginning
Teaching isn't something we leave until the final weekend. Throughout your training, you'll have opportunities to practice sequencing, cueing, demonstrating, adjusting and holding space - with feedback from experienced teachers.
And your final assessment isn't just an exam on paper. You'll teach a real community class and classes to fellow trainees, giving you the experience of stepping into the role you've been preparing for.
-
Learn from teachers who have walked the path
Hannah began her 200-hour training in Mudgee in 2018 with Laura Humphreys. Now, Laura is coming back to Mudgee as a guest teacher on Hannah’s foundational YTT, alongside Ashtanga teacher Deb Grant, Yin teacher Alanah McDonald, and other experts across anatomy and beyond.
You’re not just learning from people who practice yoga - you’re learning from teachers who understand the journey from student, to new teacher, to building a teaching practice and yogic lifestyle of their own.
-
Local, personalised training
Throughout your training, you’ll have access to your teachers beyond the weekend sessions - whether that’s asking a question, talking through something you’re working on or getting feedback as your teaching develops.
As part of the Good Culture Club community, you’ll be working with teachers who actually know you, your practice, and where you’re at, so the personalised support you receive can grow with you.
-
Graduate into a community, not out of one
Your training doesn't end when you receive your certificate. As one of our first graduates, you'll have ongoing access to mentorship and support as you begin your teaching journey.
You'll already know the studio, the teachers and the community - and if you'd like to teach at Good Culture Club, there will be opportunities to join our teaching team once you've completed the course requirements. You’ll also be supported to begin your own yoga business beyond Mudgee and the studio, so your training sets you up to step into life as a yoga teacher.

FAQs
-
Not at all! A consistent personal practice and a genuine interest in yoga are more important than being able to perform advanced poses. You’ll be supported in developing your practice throughout the training.
-
The training runs over 10 weekends from the beginning of March to May 2027, with sessions held from 8am to 3pm, plus occasional Friday evenings (optional). We will take a break over the Easter long weekend.
Following the training, we will facilitate community classes on subsequent weekends for trainees to teach as a final assessment to graduate.
-
Weekend sessions will begin at 8am with practice, followed by daily sessions running until 3pm. Lunch breaks included in this time.
-
This training is designed to run across several weekends so that you can spend each subsequent week digesting the content covered, applying it to your own practice, and enquiring with your teacher if further reflections or questions arise.
Alongside the scheduled sessions, we encourage you to spend time on your mat to log your required asana hours, as well as reading required texts, revising your manual and completing any assignments not done during weekend sessions.
-
Absolutely. A YTT can be an insightful opportunity to deepen your personal practice, explore yoga philosophy and develop a richer understanding of yourself - even if teaching isn’t your end goal.
-
Currently we don’t offer this training online, however for students wanting to join from beyond Mudgee, we can support the joining of some training components via Google Meet where in-person attendance is not essential.
-
In order to receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete written and practical assessments throughout the course of your training, along with a final quiz and practical components, including teaching a community class.
You will also be required to log specific hours of asana practice, class observations, and adjustment training in the studio.
-
Yes. Teaching is an important part of the training. You’ll have opportunities to practice teaching sequences, breathwork and meditation, receive feedback, and gradually build your confidence in a supportive environment throughout the course of your training.
-
We understand that life happens, but consistent attendance is important, because each part of the training builds on what came before.
If you miss a day or weekend, we will arrange for you to catch up at a later date, however guest teacher sessions may not be available to replicate. If you have any large periods of time during the course dates that you’ll be unavailable, please speak to lead teacher Hannah.
-
No, this YTT is not Yoga Alliance certified. Over the past few years, the credibility of a YA registration has become less relevant in becoming and gaining work as a sound, supportive yoga teacher.
Once you successfully complete the training, you will receive a PDF certificate with the hours completed, which will be enough for studios employing you.
-
This foundational teacher training will be limited to maximum 10 students so we can run a close-knit, focused training with a smaller cohort. Each student will have access to teacher support and individual guidance to ensure you receive dedicated mentoring throughout the YTT.
-
As the first graduate students of Good Culture Club’s 200-hour teacher training, you will be offered ongoing support and mentoring on your yoga teacher journey. If you wish to teach post-graduation, you’ll have opportunities to join the teaching team at Good Culture Club studio.
