Who is the Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship for?

This program is ideal for aspiring or current Yoga teachers who want personalized training and mentorship. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to deepen your skills, the flexible and tailored approach ensures it fits your unique needs.

How does the apprenticeship differ from a standard 200-hour training?

Unlike traditional group-based courses, this apprenticeship offers:

  • One-to-one mentorship tailored to your goals

  • Flexible scheduling

  • Real-world teaching opportunities through shadowing experienced teachers

  • Practical business development advice to help you launch or grow your Yoga career.

What is included in the business development guidance?

You’ll receive 50 hours of personalized advice on:

  • Creating a sustainable Yoga business model

  • Branding and marketing strategies

  • Building a client base and filling classes

  • Setting up online or in-person classes

  • Managing finances and pricing your services.

Can I complete the program at my own pace?

Yes! The apprenticeship is designed to be flexible, allowing you to train at a pace that suits your lifestyle and commitments.

What are the differences between the Standard, Premium and Elite packages?

Our packages are designed to offer you the level of support you want for your teaching journey. Visit our packages section above for more details of the options available.

What is the cost of the program, and are payment plans available?

Pricing starts at €5,350 for the Standard package. Premium and Elite packages offer additional features for €7,000 and €9,000 respectively. Payment plans are available upon request, please contact us for more information.

Will I receive a certification?

Yes, upon completion of the program, you’ll receive a certification showing your completion of our Yoga teacher training program. We are registered as a Global Online Yoga Association (GOYA) Certified Yoga School 200 Hour and this program follows, and exceeds, their required standards for a 200 hour Yoga Teacher training designation.

Do I need prior experience to join?

While prior experience in Yoga is helpful, there is not a formal required minimum number of hours. This program is designed to meet you at your level and build your skills from there. We want you to succeed so we review each application individually before offering a training place.

How do I apply for the apprenticeship?

Applying is simple:

  1. Email us.

  2. Meet with us to discuss your goals and to see if we can meet your training needs.

  3. If we are a good fit, you’ll receive your place offer.

  4. Secure your spot with a deposit.

Can I combine the apprenticeship with other work or studies?

Absolutely. The program’s flexibility ensures you can balance your training with work, studies and/or other commitments. We work at your pace so you can complete the course on a timescale that suits you.

The majority of students choose to complete their training over 6 to 24 months. However, you have the option to start teaching, as a student teacher with our support, once you have completed the initial elements of your training. As a result it is possible to start gaining practical teaching experience sooner than this, if you want to.

What kind of mentorship will I receive?

Your mentorship includes personalized guidance on:

  • Integrating traditional wisdom into group Yoga classes

  • Sequencing and designing Yoga classes

  • Adapting practices to individual needs

  • Overcoming common challenges as a Yoga teacher

  • Building confidence in teaching

  • Finding your niche as a teacher

  • How to build a succesful career as an independent Yoga Teacher in the modern world

Why should I choose your Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship?

  • Our Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship stands out because it’s designed entirely around you. Unlike one-size-fits-all group trainings, this program offers

  • 1-2-1 Personalized Mentorship: Every aspect of your training is tailored to your goals, learning style, and pace.

  • Hands-On Experience: You’ll have the opportunity to shadow experienced teachers, gaining real-world insights you won’t find in a traditional training.

  • Flexible Scheduling: Life is busy—we’ll work together to create a schedule that fits around your commitments.

  • Business Development Support: With 50 hours of practical advice, you’ll learn how to create a sustainable career as a Yoga teacher, from branding to filling your classes.

  • Traditional Yet Modern Approach: Rooted in the Viniyoga tradition, this program blends ancient teachings with practical tools for today’s Yoga professionals.

    If you’re looking for a program that invests in your growth, confidence and future, this apprenticeship is the right choice.

What other costs will I need to budget for?

If you do not already have an anatomy qualification, you will also need to complete the online 20 Hour Anatomy Course for Yoga Teachers available from Yoganatomy (US$55) plus a copy of their Functional Anatomy of Yoga book (approx US$ 25).

The only other thing you will need to budget for is any books you want to add to your collection! The only additional book you will actually need for the course is the Heart of Yoga by TKV Desikachar but we can suggest others if you want to explore particular areas in more depth.

How many apprenticeship programs are available from you?

Due to the inidividual nature and high levels of 1-2-1 support offered through this program we only offer 6 apprenticeships per year. This ensures that all of our apprentices can receive timely support and their preferred choice of training hours.
