Led by Byron Yoga Centre, one of Australia’s oldest yoga schools, this intensive course combines decades of experience with a supportive learning environment. The center has hosted year-round yoga classes, RYT200 and RYT500 teacher training, and retreats since 1988, and the program is Yoga Alliance accredited.
All classes include Japanese interpretation, so English fluency is not required. Participants should have at least 120 hours of yoga practice within the past two years. As this is a short, immersive training, it is designed for those with some experience and is not suitable for complete beginners.
The 2025 course fee is AUD$5,110, including training, accommodation, and meals. The regular fee is AUD$5,410.
The training is divided into three parts: Part A, approximately 30 hours of online study before arrival; Part B, a 14-day residential training in Byron Bay totaling about 120 hours; and Part C, about 80 hours of self-paced study after returning home. After submitting the required assignments, participants receive a certificate, and those who wish may register as RYT200 with Yoga Alliance.
During the residential component, you will explore asana, breathwork, meditation, anatomy, yoga philosophy, and lifestyle. The course emphasizes safe practice for both you and your future students, while giving you hands-on teaching experience in a real class setting.
Meals are healthy vegetarian, with gluten-free and dairy-free options available. Accommodation is shared, with 2–4 people per room, and the property includes a yoga studio, dining area, laundry, and a heated mineral salt pool. Wi-Fi is provided free of charge.
Byron Bay, on the NSW coast, offers a peaceful setting for study, rest, and nature-based experiences.
Our twin share rooms are an affordable, yet comfortable option. The rooms can be configured into two single beds. You will be sharing the cabin with one other international students of the same gender. The rooms are newly renovated with wooden floors and whitewashed walls. All rooms have air conditioning, reading lamps and a wardrobe. The communal bathrooms are a short walk away and, in line with our eco-policies, they have compost toilets, rain water showers and solar heated hot water.
