Qualification Structure

Colette Noke

I have always been active, trained as a dancer & successfully auditioned for the Northern Ballet School, the first to do so in Tameside.  I gained my teaching certificates in Classical Ballet and Tap Dancing, self-funded & became an Associate of the IDTA with the International Dance Teachers Association.
During my professional career as a dancer & dance teacher spanning 22 years, my students ranged from the ages of 3 to 75 years young, at both my established dancing school in Tameside & then later at a prestigious dance & drama school in Yorkshire. 
After leaving the dancing profession due to personal injuries I took up yoga & went on to study with the British Wheel of Yoga gaining certificates for both their Foundation One & Two courses.  I completed my yoga training with the British School of Yoga in 2007, passing with Exceptional Merit.  I completed an additional teacher training course spanning 18 months with the International School of Dru Yoga in November 2012 & was invited onto their teaching team teaching, assessing examinations & mentoring students
I created Tranquility Yoga in 2007 which is a fusion of the many styles of yoga I have studied.  I call it “Yoga Soup”.  Classes are held here & around the Tameside area as private & community groups, within schools & in-house corporate group courses & taster sessions.  In 2016 I trained in two Pilates methods, one of which is medicine for your back.
As a requirement to retain my teaching qualifications I frequently attend Continued Personal Development (CPD) programmes around the country studying & gaining deeper knowledge in many subjects linked to yoga & Pilates, & keeping up to date with the latest teaching techniques & scientific research & information.
