Studio teaching placements
Graduates and advanced trainees can access teaching opportunities through partner studios such as Yoga Reading, with mentor support from senior faculty.
Professional horizons
Your Opportunities beyond qualification
Training opens doors, but knowing which doors to walk through takes guidance. We connect qualified practitioners and studio partners with teaching placements, corporate programmes and career pathways across the Thames Valley.
Overview

Many newly qualified teachers struggle to find their first regular classes. Studio owners need credible trainees and staff development. Organisations want wellness programmes delivered by professionals, not generic content providers.
Thames Wellness Academy sits at the intersection of these needs. Through our founding studio partners, faculty network and corporate delivery experience, we help practitioners and organisations create opportunities that are sustainable and professionally sound.
