200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

More than a certification. A life-changing journey.

Becoming a yoga teacher is about much more than learning how to lead a class.

It is about transforming yourself while developing the knowledge, confidence, and skills to help others transform their lives.

Whether your dream is to teach professionally, deepen your own practice, or immerse yourself in the authentic traditions of yoga, our Yoga Alliance-recognized 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training provides the foundation to begin that journey.

At Académie Om, we believe yoga is far more than physical exercise. It is a complete system for living with greater awareness, health, purpose, and inner peace. Throughout this training, you'll experience yoga in all its depth—from asana and anatomy to meditation, philosophy, pranayama, and yogic lifestyle.

Having spent decades studying, practicing, and living yoga—including extensive time in ashrams—they bring a depth of understanding to yogic philosophy, meditation, breathwork, and authentic spiritual practice that few teacher trainings can offer.

Throughout the training, inspiring guest teachers also share their expertise, allowing students to experience different perspectives while maintaining a cohesive educational journey.

What Makes Our Training Different?

Many Yoga Teacher Trainings focus primarily on physical postures.

At Académie Om, physical practice is only one part of the journey.

Our students are immersed in the complete yogic tradition.

Rather than treating philosophy, meditation, pranayama, ethics, and chanting as secondary topics included simply to satisfy Yoga Alliance requirements, they are woven throughout the entire training and integrated into daily practice.

This authentic approach is what students consistently tell us transforms not only their teaching, but their lives.

Many arrive hoping to become yoga teachers.

They graduate having discovered a completely new relationship with themselves.
