200-hour yoga teacher training Berlin

Build the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to deepen your yoga practice and begin teaching with clarity.

This foundational training expands your understanding of asanas, yoga and Buddhist philosophy, while preparing you to step into professional teaching. The program is taught in English and is structured into four modules, combining in-person weekends in Berlin with an online training platform that includes video materials and live online calls with the lead teacher.

Throughout the training, you will also join regular weekly masterclasses, held either in person in Berlin or online.
