About the course
Our RYT 200 Yoga Teacher Training is a complete, Yoga Alliance–registered 200-hour programme for anyone who wants to deepen their practice or teach with confidence. It’s led by Dr. Kasi, an Ayurvedic physician and E-RYT 500 teacher who has trained teachers in Dubai for over 15 years.
Over 200 hours you’ll study asana and alignment, teaching methodology, anatomy and physiology, yoga philosophy and ethics, and you’ll get supervised teaching practice. You’ll learn not just how to do the postures but how to teach them: how to sequence a safe class, cue clearly, adjust students, and find your own teaching voice.
Choose a weekday, weekend or hybrid batch to fit your work and family. Batches are small, so you get personal attention. Books, exams and certification fees are included, and you can pay in 4 interest-free instalments with Tabby. When you graduate, you can register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200 and teach anywhere in the world, with lifetime support from our alumni community.
What you’ll learn
- Teach a safe, well-sequenced yoga class from your first week after graduating
- Asana technique, alignment and hands-on adjustments
- Functional anatomy and physiology for yoga teachers
- Pranayama, meditation and the subtle body (chakras and nadis)
- Yoga philosophy: the Yoga Sutras, the eight limbs and yogic lifestyle
- Teaching methodology: cueing, demonstration, class management and voice
- Hatha and Vinyasa sequencing for different levels
- Teaching ethics and the business of being a yoga teacher
- Supervised teaching practice with personal feedback
Who it’s for
Practitioners who want to deepen their own practice and understanding of yoga, even if they never plan to teach.
Aspiring teachers who want an internationally recognised RYT 200 certificate.
Working professionals and parents who need a weekday, weekend or hybrid schedule in Dubai.
Fitness trainers, Pilates instructors and wellness professionals adding yoga to what they offer.
You don’t need to be able to do advanced postures. You need a regular practice, curiosity, and a wish to learn.
