In 2003 June Mitchell, one of Scotland’s first yoga teachers from the late 1970s, co-founded and was Course Director of CYS Scotland - then called the Chi Yoga School - as an independent yoga school offering the highest standards in yoga teacher training.

​

In 2006 CYS expanded into the South of England and the courses have continued to thrive since 2010 when June took over as sole owner and Course Director of CYS, now known as the Classical Yoga School.    At that time June was joined by her friend and colleague, Judi Farrell as Lead Trainer and Judi also runs the CYS course very successfully from her Merchant City Yoga studio in Glasgow. 

​

Three courses run annually starting in September at Perth Yoga Studio, Merchant City Yoga, Glasgow and in the South of England in Addlestone, Surrey.

​

CYS is an RYS200 – a Registered Yoga School with the US-based Yoga Alliance www.yogaalliance.org  giving our graduate yoga teachers world-wide certification.

​

The school has Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary Series as its base practice to give all students a strong and clear classical foundation for their teaching. Additionally there are teaching workshops in Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar and Sivananda yoga styles.

​

With the input of an inspirational team of tutors, all experts in their various fields, CYS has become renowned as a Centre of Excellence in the UK for training enthusiastic yoga students to become inspiring, professional yoga teachers in their own right - knowledgeable, skilled, confident and ready to share the immense benefits of yoga with their future students.
