Our Yoga Alliance certified 200 training hours (of which more than 160 are “contact”, i.e. face to face hours) are divided across the following areas:

Techniques, Training & Practice (75 hours – 37.5%)

This core section of the training is where your physical, energetic, and meditative practices are refined and expanded.

  • Asana (45 hours): You’ll develop a strong, safe, and intelligent approach to physical postures, learning alignment, modifications, and sequencing that support both personal practice and teaching.
  • Pranayama & Subtle Body (15 hours): Explore the breath as a bridge between body and mind. You’ll study energetic anatomy, including chakras and nadis, and learn how breathwork can regulate the nervous system and enhance vitality.
  • Meditation (15 hours): Cultivate stillness and presence through guided meditation practices. You’ll learn techniques to support emotional resilience, mental clarity, and spiritual connection—and how to share these practices with others.

Anatomy, Physiology & Biomechanics (30 hours – 15%)

Understanding the body is essential for safe and effective teaching. This section provides a comprehensive foundation in how the body moves and functions.

  • Anatomy (12 hours): Learn the structure of the human body, focusing on muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissue relevant to yoga practice.
  • Physiology (12 hours): Discover how bodily systems—such as respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems—interact with yoga practices to support health and healing.
  • Biomechanics (6 hours): Gain insight into movement patterns, load distribution, and injury prevention to teach with confidence and care.

Yoga Humanities (30 hours – 15%)

This section connects you to the rich philosophical and ethical roots of yoga, grounding your practice in tradition and meaning.

  • History (10 hours): Trace the evolution of yoga from its ancient origins to its modern expressions, understanding key texts, teachers, and cultural shifts.
  • Philosophy (10 hours): Dive into foundational teachings such as the Yoga Sutras, exploring concepts like the eight limbs, self-inquiry, and liberation.
  • Ethics (10 hours): Reflect on the ethical responsibilities of being a yoga teacher, including inclusivity, integrity, and the role of yoga in contemporary society.

Professional Essentials (50 hours – 25%)

This is where your teaching skills are honed and your professional identity begins to take shape.

  • Teaching Methodology (15 hours): Learn how to design and deliver impactful classes, including cueing, sequencing, theming, and adapting for different bodies and needs.
  • Professional Development (15 hours): Explore the business of yoga—branding, marketing, ethics, and how to build a sustainable career aligned with your values.
  • Practicum (20 hours): Practice teaching in a supportive environment, receive feedback, and refine your voice. These hours are essential for building confidence and competence.

Elective Hours (15 hours – 7.5%)

These hours offer flexibility to explore areas that resonate most with you. They may include workshops, guest lectures, or specialised modules such as trauma-informed yoga, Ayurveda, pregnancy, Yoga Nidra, heated yoga, Chanting, Chakras and many more! This space allows you to personalise your training and deepen your unique path.

Requirements & Pre-approval

To ensure you get the most out of the DEEP YOGA Teacher Training Programme, we ask that all prospective students maintain a consistent and ongoing yoga practice. Familiarity with our teaching style is essential, so we require that applicants have practised regularly at DEEP YOGA and with several members of our faculty before acceptance. This helps ensure that you resonate with our method, philosophy, and community before committing to the training journey.

Full participation is essential. Students must be able to attend all scheduled contact hours, complete all assignments on time, and successfully pass teaching assessments in order to be certified. Even if you are not pursuing certification to teach, full attendance and engagement are required for successful completion of the course.

Throughout the training, you’ll be given a variety of assignments designed to deepen your understanding and support your growth. Some tasks will be shared across the group, while others will be tailored to your individual learning needs—whether that means spending more time on a particular topic or diving deeper into an area of personal interest. All assignments will receive thoughtful feedback, either individually or through group discussions, to help you integrate your learning and continue progressing.
