Become who you were meant to be.
We believe in the transformative power of yoga; that yoga can change the world for the better. When we teach yoga classes we see the potential for change written on the faces of each of the students. But when we run trainings, we see that potential writ large. We see the potential for our teachings to impact on our prospective teachers who will then go out into the world and impact on others, thus exponentially amplifying the effect. And so, trainings have a special place in our heart, and are our most important offering to the world.
In our trainings we turn practitioners into beautiful teachers, and teachers into magic teachers. We apply our philosophy on yoga and life to every element of the yoga teacher training journey from the fundamentals (philosophy, anatomy, alignment, cueing, sequencing) to the non-negotiables (identifying your purpose, finding your voice, knowing and accepting yourself, teaching from the heart, holding space for others). We see the trainings as not just an opportunity for a practitioner to become certified as a teacher but more importantly an opportunity for a practitioner to get to know themselves better and maybe even have a life changing experience. This, without fail, creates better teachers than all of the anatomy lectures in the world.
100 Hour YTT: Teaching from the heart
A concentrated training designed to shape aspiring and established teachers. Maybe you have just completed your 200 Hour YTT but don’t really feel comfortable holding space for others. Maybe you’re an experienced teacher who has lost sight of your purpose and your creativity. Maybe you’re progressing well on your teaching journey but want to elevate your teaching, to deliver more than just a sequence of asanas. This training is for all teachers, no matter how raw or how advanced, who want to change people’s lives rather than just teach yoga classes. Teachers who believe in the power of yoga and want to understand how to harness that power and use it for the betterment of our community and lifestyle.
200 Hour YTT: Foundation
The 200 Hour YTT is one of the most well-established and regarded trainings on the market. We have taught it for years with hundreds of satisfied graduates, many of whom have gone on to become outstanding yoga teachers and all of whom are now part of an active and engaged community spanning the globe. This training is the perfect way to start your teaching journey or to refresh your knowledge. It focuses strongly on developing the students’ own personal practice - not just asanas and meditation, but all 5 koshas, deepening the students’ knowledge of the key areas of yoga philosophy and anatomy, from an all-encompassing viewpoint. We teach a large part of this course, including our favourite module - Group Dynamics - which centers on the “non-physical” aspects of yoga and yoga teaching: learning to know and understand yourself in the moment, harnessing emotional intelligence, holding space for others and much more.
300 Hour YTT: Advanced
This training is perfect for teachers who are yearning to dive deeper into their own practice; a practice that extends far beyond the physical, into applied yoga philosophy and energetic practices, advanced meditation and pranayama techniques and, of course, long, hard asana practices that take you on a journey out of your body. It is for teachers who understand that the best way to advance their teaching is to work on themselves first. It is for practitioners looking for that rare opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the deeper practices, without distraction and with a group of others on the same path. It is for all those who have tasted the possibilities of yoga (or believe in those possibilities) and want to experience them again. We are a part of the large faculty of teachers, including Vikasa and guest teachers, who contribute to the many and varied offerings in this unique training.
Do you want to give life to your purpose? More than just identifying it, do you want to learn, in detail, practical steps to bring it to life in your teaching? Do you want teaching yoga to be more than just a job, but an actual calling, a vocation? Join one of our trainings and discover how to do this, with us and with a community of colleagues from across the globe.

"Niki and Michael are incredible with everything they share. I always feel so held by them. Their immersions and trainings are really something special and when I practice with Niki and Michael something magical happens through my body and soul, every time! Niki and Michael spread so much love, joy, happiness, inspiration, security and warmth."
Elisabeth Jordan
"Niki and Michael are two of the most down to earth people and teachers out there and their sharings are really valuable and timeless. They teach from experience, from their hearts, and have a beautiful way of conveying the essence of the practices, and through their safe and thorough guidance it allows you to connect to and find that essence within yourself."
Maria Gkouvousi
"Niki truly embodies what she teaches. I find many other yoga classes focus too much on the posture and less on the inner experience and connection to breath. There is so much healing that comes with slowing down and connecting to the present moment. I’ve also experienced really peaceful and insightful meditations with Michael and love the way he breaks down yogic teachings. ."
