About Fay lee thung wiratchai

Fay Lee Thung Wiratchai began practicing Ashtanga Yoga at the young age of eighteen to deal with stress during university. Little did she know at the time, that she had began a life changing journey.

After graduating university, Fay Lee moved to Thailand where she began to deepen her practice. She soon began making regular trips to Mysore, India to study with her Guru R. Sharath Jois, the head of the Ashtanga Yoga lineage. Fay Lee is a devoted student of Sharath Jois and makes yearly trips to study with him. On her third trip to Mysore, Sharathji gave Fay Lee his blessing to teach the Ashtanga Yoga method and made her an Authorized Level 2 teacher.

The practice of Ashtanga Yoga truly helped Fay Lee to grow up and find her place in life. The step-by-step approach of the practice helped Fay Lee to find the stability to do things she never thought would be possible both on and off the mat. Fay Lee believes that anyone can practice Ashtanga Yoga no matter their age or background. It is her goal to open the door of Ashtanga Yoga to anyone who is eager to learn. It is her way of honoring the work and lineage her teacher, Sharathji, dedicated his life to.

Is your YTT course recognised internationally?

As a Registered Yoga School under the Yoga Alliance, we set ourselves apart with a certified curriculum as a foundation for all our classes and teaching at the studio.

A Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) is a distinction given to yoga teachers whose training and teaching experience meet Yoga Alliance requirements. A RYT must complete training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS), be confirmed by Yoga Alliance and current with annual fees and Continuing Education.

How is Peculiar Yogi’s YTT different?

Our YTT places a strong focus on teaching practicalities from day 1. Peculiar Yogi’s YTT aims to help guide you towards finding your own path. With ample opportunities for teaching practice, you can expect to finish the 10 week course well-equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence to conduct your classes.

I only want to teach a specific type of yoga (eg. Ashtanga, Yin, Prenatal, etc.), am I still suitable for this course?

Yes. We cover a wide spectrum of styles of yoga, focusing mainly on Hatha Vinyasa, but will introduce key principles and sequences of Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, and the spectrum of schools of yoga.

Are the costs of the learning materials covered in the course fees?

The cost of the training manual and assessments are already included in the course fees. There will be additional books and reference materials that we will encourage you to get hold of as well, at your own cost.

What is required for the successful completion of this course?

There will be graded assignments, theory and practical assessments as part of the certification. You will be required to pass this in order to be certified as competent for teaching classes. Upon successful completion of the YTT, graduates will receive a certificate of completion with Peculiar Yogi, and can claim the prestigious RYT-200 term upon registration with Yoga Alliance.
