What Is a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training?
A 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is the globally recognised foundation for becoming a certified yoga teacher. Established by Yoga Alliance, the world’s largest nonprofit yoga organisation, the 200-hour standard ensures every graduate has the depth of knowledge and practical skills to teach yoga safely, confidently, and professionally.
But it is not just about learning poses. A true 200-hour training covers four essential pillars:
Pillar
Anatomy & Physiology
Understand how the body moves, how muscles and joints work together, and how to prevent injuries in your students.
Pillar
Philosophy & History
Explore the ancient wisdom traditions that gave birth to yoga, from the Yoga Sutras to the Bhagavad Gita, and learn how to bring these teachings into modern life.
Pillar
Teaching Methodology
Develop your voice as a teacher. Learn how to structure classes, give clear instructions, hold space for students, and build confidence in leading a room.
Upon completion, you are eligible to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with Yoga Alliance, a credential recognised in over 100 countries. Whether you want to teach at a local studio, lead online classes, host retreats, or simply deepen your own practice, a 200-hour training is where it all begins.

The Beginning
Where certification leads
What Can You Actually Do With a Yoga Certification?
More than you might think.
Teach at Yoga Studios
Walk into any yoga studio with a recognised credential. RYT-200 is the industry standard that studios look for when hiring teachers. Many of our graduates are teaching within weeks of completing the training.
Build an Online Yoga Business
The online yoga industry is booming. With your certification, you can create and sell online classes, build a membership community, or offer private virtual sessions to students anywhere in the world, all from your living room.
Lead Retreats & Workshops
Imagine guiding a group through sunrise yoga on a beach in Costa Rica, or hosting a weekend wellness retreat in the mountains. A yoga certification is your ticket to creating transformational experiences in extraordinary places.
Deepen Your Own Practice
You do not have to teach a single class to benefit from this training. Many students enrol simply to understand yoga on a deeper level, the philosophy, the anatomy, the breathwork, and walk away with a practice that is richer and more meaningful than ever before.
The global yoga industry is valued at over US$105 billion and continues to grow year over year. Demand for qualified yoga teachers has never been higher, and a 200-hour certification is the first step into this thriving ecosystem.
The honest answer
Can You Really Become a Yoga Teacher Online?
Absolutely. Here is why.
We understand the hesitation. For years, yoga teacher training meant flying to an ashram, spending weeks away from home, and investing thousands of dollars. And while in-person training is beautiful, it is not the only path anymore.
Since 2020, Yoga Alliance fully recognises online yoga teacher training. The same RYT-200 credential. The same global recognition. The same doors opened. The only difference? You can do it from home, at your own pace, without putting your life on hold.
And with 1,100+ graduates now teaching on six continents, the proof is not theoretical. It is in the hundreds of Akasha graduates who are leading classes, hosting retreats, and building thriving yoga careers, all after training online.
Why Akasha, specifically
Heart-Centered, Not Factory-Made
Akasha is not a content mill. Every lesson is taught by master teachers with over 65 years of combined experience. Our training is rooted in the Krishnamacharya tradition, the very source of modern yoga, giving you a depth of understanding that most online programs simply cannot offer.
Bali Studio Quality, In Your Living Room
Our 200+ video lessons are filmed in our exclusive BALIWOOD studio in Bali, not a basement with a ring light. The production quality, the setting, the energy of each session is designed to transport you. This is what a US$1,190 training looks and feels like.
Live Connection, Not Just Pre-Recorded
With 3 live Zoom sessions every week, you are not watching videos alone in a vacuum. You are practicing alongside real classmates, getting real-time feedback from your teachers, and building real relationships. This is the difference between watching yoga and doing yoga.

See yourself in it
This Training Is for You If…
You practice yoga regularly and want to take it deeper
You love your practice but feel like there is a whole world beneath the surface you have not explored yet. You want to understand the why behind every pose, every breath, every moment on the mat.
You dream of teaching but feel like you're 'not ready enough'
Here is a secret: every teacher felt that way before they started. You do not need to touch your toes or hold a handstand. You just need the desire to learn and the willingness to grow. We will give you the rest.
You're ready for a meaningful career change
Maybe you have spent years in an office wondering if there is more. A yoga certification is not just a piece of paper, it is a doorway to a career built on purpose, connection, and well-being.
You want world-recognised certification without leaving home
You have responsibilities. A family, a job, a life you cannot pause for weeks. Our self-paced program fits around your schedule, not the other way around.
You simply want to transform your personal practice
Not everyone who trains wants to teach, and that is perfectly okay. Many of our students enrol purely for self-discovery, personal growth, and a deeper connection to the ancient wisdom of yoga.
No prior teaching experience needed. No advanced poses required.
We meet you exactly where you are, and guide you to where you want to be.
