The comprehensive curriculum of our fully accredited Online Teacher Training meets & exceeds the standards of the international Yoga Alliance.
When graduating from our interactive online course, you will receive an officially recognized certificate that is identical to an on-site course.
After completing all parts of our accredited 300-Hour TTC, you will get a regular full-fledged RYT 300 Yoga Alliance certificate. This carries exactly the same value and looks exactly the same as a certificate coming from an on-site course.
Successful graduation from this certified online program authorizes you to become an officially Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500-Hour level (RYT 500). (Take a closer look at the specific question in this FAQ.)
This fully accredited 300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training is fully accredited by the international Yoga Alliance.
Our full 300-Hour Training consists of three 100-Hour courses:
• 100-Hour Advanced Hatha & Pranayama TTC
• 100-Hour Yin Yoga & Self-Inquiry TTC
• 100-Hour Meditation TTC
3 x 100 = 300 Hours
If you wish to receive the full-fledged 300-Hour Yoga Alliance Certification, you’ll have to complete the entire 300 hours with the Akasha Yoga Academy. These are the official requirements defined by the international Yoga Alliance.
To qualify for the international Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500-hour level (RYT 500), you must have already completed a 200-hour course beforehand. Then you can add a 300-hour course on top of your 200-hour course.
200 + 300 = 500 Hours
(The 200-hour & 300-hour courses can come from different schools.
Yet all 300 hours of the advanced course must be done with the same school.
That’s the official standard – which most people don’t know about. Further clarifications are provided in our related YouTube video.) https://youtu.be/uqwvmmmnenY
We offer the common options of PayPal and Credit Cards.
Please take a closer look and you will see the standard checkout options in our online shop.
You can either choose to pay the tuition in full.

If you decide to complete all parts of our 300-Hour Program, you will receive the full-fledged Yoga Alliance certificate:
A multiple-choice assessment at the end of each 100-Hour TTC and a written final exam will help you see how much you have learned.
Practice your teaching skills in four one-on-one peer-to-peer classes (60-minute Hatha Yoga, 60-minute Yin Yoga, 30-minute Pranayama & 15-minute Meditation).
Get professional feedback from experts. Your supervisors will guide you through two 60-minute Asana classes (Hatha/Vinyasa & Yin Yoga), one 40-minute Pranayama class, and one 15-minute & one 30-minute meditation.
Don’t worry if your internet connection is somewhat slow. Our state-of-the-art system allows for smooth streaming to mobile devices in lower resolution.

We do however have excellent news for you: If you choose to stop the program halfway through, we can still offer you some of the Continuing Education credits of Yoga Alliance.
When graduating from our interactive online course, you will receive an officially recognized certificate that is identical to an on-site course.
The Akasha Yoga Academy is a Registered Yoga School and a member of the internationally recognized Yoga Alliance (Registry-ID: 87485). Our primary instructors are Experienced Registered Yoga Teachers at the highest level (E-RYT-500).
The curriculum of our accredited Teacher Training meets & exceeds the requirements of this leading organization.
After completing all parts of our 300-Hour TTC, you will get a regular full-fledged RYT-300 Yoga Alliance certificate. This carries exactly the same value and looks exactly the same as one coming from an on-site course.
The Akasha Yoga Academy has been a member of the international Yoga Alliance for more than a decade (Registry-ID: 87485). The curriculum of our fully accredited Teacher Training meets & exceeds the requirements of this leading organization.
We are registered with the international Yoga Alliance based in the US. However, the different Yoga Alliance branches & organizations across the world share very similar standards.
Each of them maintains a registry of certified Yoga Teachers & Schools, and they tend to recognize one another.
Experience shows that most national organizations acknowledge certificates provided by our international Yoga Alliance.
Upon successful graduation from the entire 300-Hour Program, you will receive the officially accredited certificate which authorizes you to become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 500). and enables you to optionally sign up with the international Yoga Alliance.
The only requirement is that you complete the full program before the 31st of December 2023 (Yoga Alliance might offer an extension to the current deadline).
You can either receive the full-fledged 300-Hour Yoga Alliance certificate.
Or you are eligible for 240 hours of Continuing Education (YACEP). Please note that this is an either-or choice, meaning that you have to decide on one of the two options.
Let’s take a closer look at the mentioned two options:
300-HOUR CERTIFICATE
Most participants choose the option of the full-fledged 300-Hour Yoga Alliance certificate. This choice requires you to complete all practicum assignments, quizzes, etc.
The 300-hour course consists of three 100-Hours TTCs:
• 100-Hour Advanced Hatha & Pranayama TTC
• 100-Hour Yin Yoga & Self-Inquiry TTC
• 100-Hour Meditation TTC
3 x 100 = 300 Hours
To use this 300-Hour certificate to register as an RYT 500, you must have previously completed a certified 200-Hour YTT.
(200+300= 500 hours)
CONTINUING EDUCATION
If you are not interested in the complete 300-Hour Teacher Certificate (= RYT 300), you can instead use this course as Continuing Education hours with Yoga Alliance. This second option does not require you to take any supervised assignments, quizzes, etc.
To maintain your Yoga Alliance membership, all registered teachers must complete 30 hours of formal Yoga training within 3 years. These must be certified by an official YACEP = Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider.
Following the official standards, it is not possible to use this course for both options at the same time. This means that you have to decide on either the 300-Hour certificate or the Continuing Education option.
Our educational online program is fully accredited by the international Yoga Alliance. The curriculum of this certified course goes above & beyond the official standards.
In order to reward you with the famous RYT 300 / RYT 500 certificate of the renowned Yoga Alliance, we require:
• dedicated & full-hearted participation
• completion of all three 100-Hour TTCs
• participation in all teaching assignments & sharing components
• understanding of the content demonstrated in small quizzes & assessments at the end of each part
The complete 300-hour course consists of 3 parts:
• 100-Hour Advanced Hatha & Pranayama TTC
• 100-Hour Yin Yoga & Self-Inquiry TTC
• 100-Hour Meditation TTC
Together these add up to 300 hours: 3 x 100 = 300. Easy!
If you fulfill all of the above requirements, you will receive the Yoga Alliance accredited 300-Hour certificate. To use this certificate to register as an RYT 500, the Yoga Alliance will additionally require a previous 200-hour certification.
200 + 300 = 500 hours
Tuition payment alone does not guarantee certification from the Akasha Yoga Academy Teacher Training.
Please note that the (US-based) international Yoga Alliance extended their Covid exception for online courses until 31 December 2023. Successful graduation from our online program before authorizes you to become a full-fledged & officially Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 300 / RYT 500). It is very likely that this period will be extended beyond the current deadline.
We invite you to use all the interactive tools we offer to grow into a competent & confident teacher. In our educational programs, we offer outstanding content to inspire your Yogic journey on all levels.
Akasha Yoga Academy aspires to keep the regular tuition for the Yoga Alliance certified Teacher Training stable & affordable. Please find the complete list of the current prices on the enrollment page.
If you already signed up previously for one (or more) 80-Hour TTCs, you can simply upgrade your enrollment.
We make it super easy for you to join the 300-Hour Advanced TTC.

This educational program is designed to match the needs of beginners & advanced practitioners alike. Yet if you’re a complete beginner in Yoga, this course will be more of a deep dive into your personal Yoga explorations. It’s a soft & gentle, yet truly profound journey.
If you want to become a Yoga Teacher, and if you have not yet done a TTC, it might be beneficial to start with our 200-Hour Foundation TTC.
If you already have a 200-hour certificate and would like to learn more – this is definitely the course for you!
If you took a Teacher Training with another school and would now like to continue your studies with Akasha, we fully welcome you to jump in.
But even if you’re completely new to Yoga, you’ll be fine. Practical basics of our style will be covered, so that anyone with an open heart can benefit from this educational program.
The key is your openness and your sincere enthusiasm!
To tune in, we of course suggest a regular formal Yoga practice. We encourage you to visit Yoga classes, and to strengthen your general constitution by adopting a healthy life-style.
Our full 300-Hour Training consists of three parts:
• Advanced Hatha & Pranayama TTC
• Yin Yoga & Self-Inquiry TTC
• Meditation TTC
Please explore the detailed answers below to understand the profound content we share.
In the first part of this advanced Teacher Training you’ll learn to teach Hatha Yoga, classical Vinyasa Krama & Pranayama.
We teach a breath-based style of classical Hatha Yoga in the lineage of Krishnamacharya and Yin Yoga. This authentic style is known as “Vinyasa Krama” and resembles a slow-flow Vinyasa.
The teachings of our educational program are based on a very broad approach to Yoga. The foundations of this part are:
breath-based Hatha Yoga, classical Vinyasa Krama, genuine Yogic Breathwork, Spiritual Heart Meditation, and the non-dual vision of Advaita Vedanta.
We teach a classical form of Hatha Yoga which revolves around the synchronization of breath & body movement.
This advanced training will also empower you to integrate breath & bandha into a faster modern Vinyasa style.
In addition to breath, this uplifting asana practice incorporates the focus on alignment, chakras & kundalini energy.
Our balanced style combines engaging yang and relaxing yin qualities:
The practice incorporates various dynamic elements, such as a variety of warming exercises, different variations of the sun salutations (including classical, A & B), Ashtanga type warrior sequence, and demanding standing poses. In this special TTC you will also learn how to approach basic & advanced arm balances, including the emblematic handstand.
The contemplative atmosphere of our slow-flow cultivates mindfulness of alignment & breath. We emphasize a refined awareness of the present moment in the style of Eckhart Tolle. The sequence of 36++ asanas includes backward & forward bends, side bends, twists, and inversions.
As the title states, the syllabus of course encompasses plenty of Pranayama practice: powerful exercises to activate, as well as calming techniques to find balance & peace within.
Another focus of this Advanced TTC is practical applied yogic philosophy. We transmit the ancient wisdom in an eye-opening modern perspective. Together we’ll read into genuine source scriptures. Understanding the authentic roots of Pranayama & Bandha helps us to deepen our practice, and amplifies its benefits.
Additionally, the curriculum incorporates various classical practices, such as meditation, heart centering, Bhajan chanting, Bhakti & Karma Yoga, Raja & Jnana Yoga, and so much more.
The authentic content of our teachings, the enthusiasm of the group & facilitators, and your sincere openness to transform and dive deep can turn this course into the experience of a lifetime.
Our thorough educational approach will ground your understanding in authentic Yoga sources, while helping you to develop & refine your own personal practice.
Our advanced courses are a beautiful opportunity for self exploration, a stepping stone for future studies, and a very solid base for aspiring & seasoned Yoga Teachers.
In the second part of this advanced Teacher Training you will learn to practice & teach Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga is a slow and contemplative style of posture practice that increases mobility of the body, harmonizes the energy system, and deeply nurtures the soul.
The practice consists exclusively of long held floor postures. The poses increase health & flexibility of tissues & joints, and they even strengthen the bones. The deep relaxation that naturally derives from the long holding of postures easily expands to the mind and encourages a sense of nurturing calmness.
At Akasha, we merge Yin Yoga with Self-Inquiry. Self-Inquiry is a Stillness practice from ancient India. It can empower us to plunge right into the Heart of Being.
Contemplating the timeless source of Existence allows us to connect to the Eternal core within us. That Essence which is unaffected by space & time.
The authentic content of our teachings, the enthusiasm of the facilitators, and your sincere openness to dive deep, can turn this course into the experience of a lifetime.
Our advanced courses are a beautiful opportunity for self exploration, a stepping stone for future studies, and a very solid base for aspiring & seasoned Yoga Teachers.
The third part of this advanced Teacher Training introduces you to the wonderful world of Spiritual Heart Meditation.
You’ve definitely stumbled upon one of the top-notch online yoga teacher training programs out there. We genuinely pour our hearts and souls into making this program transformative at every level, investing our time, effort, and resources to ensure the best possible experience for you. We’re confident that you’ll find immense value in the insights and wisdom we offer.
