200HR Yoga Teacher Training - 3 Weeks Intensive
Ashiyana Teachers
12th October to 2nd November 2025
Yoga Alliance 200 hours certified
At Ashiyana, we believe that the most important aspect of teaching today is that you are able to express yourself from an open heart, discovering your inner peace and therefore having the capacity to truly give of yourself. We wish to create self-empowered teachers, who teach intuitively instead of merely following our or someone else’s ideas…
It is not necessary that you go on to teach yoga after this course, our intention is to inspire you to be more of yourself – authentic, confident, loving, clear, and flowing with life. In this way, you will discover even more about your divine purpose here on earth.
Our Vision
We aim to enable you to take yoga off the mat and into all aspects of your life, as a process of self-healing whilst you learn to be responsible for your own equanimity and joy. In that, Yoga moves beyond the body and becomes an inner journey. Our vision is to empower you, so that you can truly live who you are, teach what you love, and therefore ‘become the teaching’, rather than just teaching a class.
Who is this training for?
This training is for anyone with a genuine desire for self-knowledge and for whom these words resonate. You may be a yoga practitioner or teacher seeking more clarity and depth, or you may be fairly new to yoga. Either way, everyone is welcome. Concepts like “beginner” and “advanced” are just that—concepts. What truly matters is the intention you bring.
To help you get the most out of the training, we ask for a few prerequisites. Once you decide to register, we will provide you with a Pre-Training Document containing selected breathing techniques and asanas that you should become familiar with before the course begins.
The Course
The course is structured around the four main paths of Yoga—Jnana, Karma, Bhakti, and Hatha (Raja). While we thoroughly explore the traditional interpretation of yoga through Patanjali’s eight limbs of Raja Yoga, we also introduce alternative perspectives on yoga and life. This allows you to develop your own understanding of what yoga means in today’s world. Our goal is to challenge, inspire, and empower you.
Upon completion of the training, you will receive either a Teaching Certificate (200hr Yoga Alliance certified) or an Attendance Certificate, depending on your overall performance and attitude throughout the three-week training.
Structure of the Course
We place great emphasis on creating a loving, nurturing, and safe class environment. This includes breath awareness and techniques (Pranayama), warming up the body (Pavanmuktasana), sequencing postures appropriately, and concluding with relaxation (Savasana).
Throughout the course, we will empower you to teach by focusing on specific classical Hatha Yoga postures, seed sun salutations, and meditation. With this foundation, we encourage you to be creative and explore your unique teaching style.
The asana component of the course is designed to help you learn postures safely and correctly, allowing you to develop a self-practice that will shape your teaching approach.
We offer a variety of ways to support your learning and sharing, while also encouraging moments of solitude. Outside of studying, you will have dedicated time for silence, reflection, and meditation, reinforced by daily silent periods.
There will be ongoing homework and assessments—written, verbal, and practical. Major exams typically include:
- Week 2: Anatomy exam
- Week 3: Philosophy exam, asana test, and a one-hour taught class
