When not creating unforgettable meals, Chef Ike can be found hosting pop-ups, private dinners, and teaching at SOCA in Accra.

    Meals are primarily vegetarian, with fresh local ingredients and Ghanaian flavours. Vegan options are also available.

    Because we’ll be based in a rural coastal area, food variety may be a little more limited than in a big city. If you have specific dietary requirements, please let us know in advance - our team and Chef Ike will always do their best to accommodate you.

What Included

Pre-requisites

This training is open to students from a range of backgrounds, and we welcome those joining for both personal deepening and professional development. While there are no formal entry requirements, we do ask that all trainees come prepared to engage fully with the process.

Before applying, please ensure you meet the following:

    • A minimum of one year of consistent yoga practice (on average at least one class per week)

    • A good foundational understanding of vinyasa yoga, including familiarity with basic sequencing, common postures, and breath-led movement

    • Willingness and capacity to engage in a physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding group programme

    • Openness to self-reflection, feedback, and learning in community

    • A positive attitude, curiosity, and genuine desire to learn

  • Prior to the start of the training, all accepted students will be asked to:

    • Attend three vinyasa yoga classes with three different teachers

    • Attend three non-vinyasa classes (e.g. Yin, Iyengar, Kundalini, Restorative, Katonah, etc.)

    • Take brief notes on each class, reflecting on:

      • Teaching style and presence

      • Sequencing and pacing

      • Use of language and cueing

      • Music (or lack of it)

      • How the teacher entered the space and held the room

      • How your body and nervous system felt during and after practice

    These reflections are not assessed, but are designed to support your awareness as both a practitioner and an emerging teacher. You’ll be asked to bring these notes with you to the training.

    • There will be a small amount of pre-training reading and viewing shared ahead of the course

    • This is not about “getting it right”, but about arriving prepared and engaged

    As with all meaningful learning experiences, the depth of what you receive from this training will be shaped by what you’re willing to bring to it — attention, commitment, honesty, and care.

    If you’re unsure whether this training is right for you, we’re always happy to have a conversation before you apply.
