Learn to teach yoga with clarity, confidence and care
First intake coming · Dates to be announcedDevelop your personal practice and learn how to create thoughtful, inclusive and well-structured yoga classes for others.
COYAMA's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training combines practical teaching experience with movement, anatomy, philosophy, sequencing and professional development. You will be supported in developing your own voice as a teacher rather than being taught to reproduce somebody else's style.
More than knowing the postures
Teaching yoga involves more than demonstrating a sequence of movements.
A confident teacher must be able to observe, communicate, adapt and create a class that has a clear purpose. They need to understand what they are teaching, why they are teaching it and how different people may experience it.
This training brings those elements together. You will explore yoga as a physical, philosophical and reflective practice while developing the practical skills needed to guide others responsibly.
Is this training for you?
This course is designed for people who want to train as yoga teachers and for committed practitioners who want to develop a deeper understanding of yoga. It may be right for you if you want to:
You do not need to be exceptionally flexible or able to perform advanced postures. A consistent personal practice and a willingness to learn, reflect and participate are more important.
