Registering

A. The training is held at Park Studio. It’s one of our favourite places, being small enough for a cozy, personal environment and most importantly it has a garden where we sometimes hold sessions. It is next to to Treptower Park (with its own lake!) which provides perfect breathing space on lunch times. 
The studio is a 10-minute cycle from Kreuzberg and Neukölln, a 10-minute walk from the S-Bahn (S41, S42, S8, S85, S9) and has many bus links. 


A.  We ask that you read ‘The Wisdom of Yoga’ by Stephen Cope to prepare for the training.


A. We ask that you have practised yoga for at least 2 years. This means you have an essential awareness of yoga but it doesn’t mean you need to be an expert or a gymnast. Not being able to perform all asanas is fine. You will meet each key asana through a thorough process during the training and will explore new and deepened relationships with them. To be a yoga teacher does not mean to be able to perform asanas perfectly; understanding and guiding yoga skilfully is more important. If you’re still feeling unsure or nervous please talk to us. 

A. 100% attendance is required as well as the full fee of the training and successfully completing all homeworks and passing all assessments.

A. We will assess your understanding of the content throughout the whole training in discussions and practice teaching sessions in a supportive, encouraging group environment. Towards the end of the training there will be an assessed final teaching practice.

A. The final weekends of the training will centre around a final teaching practice in which you’ll guide parts of a yoga class and receive constructive feedback. 

If we consider that the teaching quality does not yet meet the necessary standard, it is possible that we’ll need to see you teach again before a certificate can be given. This would incur an additional cost, which we would endeavour to keep to a minimum. 

A certificate will be given if you fulfil all aspects of the training, attend 100% of sessions and if you integrate the personal feedback into your teaching practice to a level that we are confident shows that you are ready to teach. 

We will work together so that you feel prepared and confident in your own teaching ability.


A. If you miss a session you can make it up by scheduling private classes with Anya or Naama. These are charged at an additional cost of €75 per hour plus studio rental if necessary. It is possible to book these additional private sessions together with other students and share the cost.


A. Yes. In past trainings students have joined us from Brussels, Hamburg and Switzerland. We intentionally arrange the weekends without classes on the preceding Friday evening to give those of you who live outside of Berlin enough time to travel here comfortably.  If you’ll travel to Berlin for the training weekends it is necessary to arrive the evening before we start as our training days run are from morning until evening. Additionally, three online days are held to give more flexibility to non-Berliners and people who would like to travel.

A. Each weekend will have a slightly different schedule in accordance with its content. Each day will start at approximately 9:30am and end by 18:00 at the latest. Online days are shorter. It is important for us to provide enough breaks each day so that students feel fresh, present and engaged. 

A. We ask that you read ‘The Wisdom of Yoga’ by Stephen Cope to prepare for the training. It is available second hand, for example, here. 

You will be required to attend a minimum of 10 classes with Naama and/or Anya to participate as a student (priced according to the studio) and 3 classes as an observer. You’ll also need basic equipment (internet access, computer / phone) to access the online sessions and a yoga mat at home. 

All other obligatory reading and learning materials will be provided in your manual. We will provide a recommended reading list with additional optional material to deepen your study if you wish.

A. Yes - write to us for more information.

A. Alongside the essential 200 training hours you will be expected to invest time in homework, group meetings, teaching practice and reflection for an average of 5 hours per month. In addition, you will be required to attend a minimum of 10 classes with Naama and/or Anya to participate as a student and 3 classes as an observer. We’ll provide more information on this when we start. We encourage you to keep a regular, steady practice with at least one Yoga class per week during the training if possible.

A. Yes, we ask you to take a class with each of us to feel familiar with our style of teaching and get to meet each other personally. Anya and Naama both teach regularly at Yellow Yoga. Here's the schedule. Please check the 'news' section to see when there's a sub teacher as we may be away from time to time.

A. For the next training we have received many enquiries. If you wish to have a place in the training we recommend that you write to us soon.
