We warmly invite you to embark on a life-changing experience through our 200-hr Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), thoughtfully designed for aspiring teachers and committed practitioners who wish to deepen their practice and refine their teaching skills. This unique hybrid program blends the flexibility of online learning with the richness of in-person immersion, allowing you to engage with the material in a way that suits your lifestyle while still offering the depth and connection of face-to-face training.

Your training journey culminates in a vibrant 17-day intensive held in Cairo, Egypt—a city rich in history, energy, and inspiration. The in-person portion of the course takes place at Emm & Damien’s beautiful venue, a creative hub that celebrates the arts and offers a warm, welcoming space for deep practice and connection.

Here, surrounded by the rhythm of Cairo and the support of a like-minded community, you’ll dive into the art and science of yoga. Together, we’ll explore movement, philosophy, and teaching methodology in a way that’s both grounded and expansive. This immersive experience is designed not only to refine your skills but also to nourish your spirit and foster lasting transformation.

Whether you're ready to teach or simply seeking to evolve your practice, this training offers a meaningful and immersive path forward. We’d be honoured to walk it with you.
