Imagine your ideal yoga teacher career…

Would you...

…  teach in foreign countries while traveling the world and exploring new cultures?

… build a business to offer your own courses, or mentoring and coaching programmes?

… start your own membership platform, build a community, and gain time and economical freedom

… connect and collaborate, (co-)host retreats, training, and workshops worldwide? 

Whatever your vision is, chances are that you first need to improve your English language and teaching skills so that you can break free from self-doubt and finally feel empowered to share your passion for yoga with the world!

When you teach yoga or speak in English, you may not entirely feel yourself.

It can be that you:

There can be many different reasons for feelings this way, but you’re done postponing your teaching dreams. 

You’re ready to overcome the obstacles that stop you from pursuing your ideal career and do the work to become a confident international yoga teacher!

The challenges you experience learning to teach yoga in English are unique. Most YTT and general language classes don’t provide you with the tools and language training you need.  

Instead of studying lists of words you won’t use in your job, proving your level in an exam, wasting time using Google Translate, and figuring it all out by yourself, it’s time for a different approach!

To teach yoga in English authentically and pursue the career you dream of, you need to receive support to:

Frequently Asked Questions

All our courses and resources are designed for a variety of levels of English learners. Some things might be more challenging than others, but we do our best to adjust to all students and learning styles. We have taught English to all levels and ages, including young children and the elderly, so we have a lot of experience in helping people like you. We aim to meet you where you are on your learning journey in English but please do not hesitate to get in touch in your language. We also speak Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Dutch.

This course helps you embody the foundation of the teaching skills you’ve been developing and establish them in English. Plus, we provide you with the opportunities to actually practise speaking and teaching in the language. This course gives you the practical things you don’t get  in your YTT and/or real-life experience. It’s a perfect stepping stone between your general yoga teacher training and the reality of building a stable career in it.

The course includes live coaching, teaching practices, conversation classes, co-working, and community meet-ups for 4 months. After, you’ll have lifetime access to the course curriculum on the online learning platform, the community group and support.

It’s for you if you’re ready to commit and put in real effort to learn the language of yoga, so you can teach a bigger clientele and find amazing teaching opportunities internationally, online or abroad.

The course curriculum contains the Teach Yoga in English Bootcamp + 4 themed modules, spread over a period of 4 months. Every module includes live coaching, co-working, asana labs, conversation classes, teaching practices with personal feedback, workbooks, journal prompts and quizzes and much more! We meet live on Zoom and you can find all learning materials on the online learning platform.

About an hour every day will give you enough time to finish the course curriculum, workbooks and journal prompts and join the live sessions and practices. However, the course offers flexibility and you will be able to manage your time to suit other commitments. Naturally, the more time you commit to your learning process, the more you’ll see improvement. There’s no expiry date and have the freedom to deliver your assignments whenever suits you.

Before we officially start the course, you’ll be invited to take the English Grammar and Yoga Vocabulary test and if you’re doing the intensive programme, join Annie for a private meeting to find out where you are at. Results of the course are dependent on what you already know, your aims, goals and how much work you really put in. You can expect to improve reading, writing, listening and speaking abilities and your overall yoga teaching skills such as cueing, theming and designing sequences, which will help you gain confidence and effectiveness. You’ll learn about who and what you (want to) teach, where to find teaching opportunities and how to create services and collaborations worldwide. With the help of your integration and reflection session, you’ll be able to take note of all your improvements, as well as the private follow-up session at the end of the course.

Obstacles live inside your head. Learning English, learning to teach yoga, and learning how to teach yoga in English are skills no one was born with. For some people, these skills come more naturally, but wherever you are right now, I can guarantee that you are capable of teaching yoga in English. ‘If you can do this’ – is a choice you make yourself. If you’re committed to increasing your teaching opportunities worldwide, invest your time in professional development and count on the support from an international community and team that understands you, you’re ready!

This English for Yoga Teacher course will be repeated in the future, but not for the same price. All the material will be continually updated and extended to stay up to date with new inventions and discoveries. As a student, you have lifetime access and will stay inside the course community and curriculum at no extra cost

Our community is extremely international and we love it. We plan to accommodate as many time zones as possible when scheduling our live sessions. During registration, you’ll provide your time-zone and availability. This means that we can plan the classes according to your availability, and plan extra options wherever we can. All training and coaching sessions are recorded and sent to your email so you can catch up or repeat when you want to.

Learning English in a general class or setting doesn’t provide you with the language you need as a yogi or yoga teacher. Therefore, with your specific goal, general English classes are unlikely to give you what you need for your teaching career. This course is designed by English learners and English teachers who are yogis and yoga teachers and know exactly what struggles you’re going through and how to overcome them. Receiving the support from people that truly understand you will always be faster and easier than doing it on your own. You’ve likely already spent enough time on your YTT, so now is your chance to apply focussed learning, expand your network and increase your teaching opportunities around the world.

If you’re serious about your professional development and are committed, this course will be extremely beneficial. If you feel you’re falling behind, ask us for extra support, because we’re here to offer you educational and professional guidance. Remember that there’s no expiry date. You’re free to go at your own pace as you’ll have lifetime access to all the material and the community. Should you, for whatever real reason, not be able to attend the live sessions, we offer multiple dates and catch-up days throughout and after the course. For that reason, there are no refunds.

Yes, you will get a certificate to show your achievement and completion of the course. You complete the course if you do all the tasks and send in all your homework! 

All our courses are awarded with continuing education hours. These hours you can register with Yoga Alliance. Check the number of hours you’ll receive in the description of the Intensive, Semi-intensive or Bootcamp option.
