Be Your Own Guru
Before teaching others, you must become a student of yourself. This training is fundamentally a profound inner journey designed to help you build a deeply personal daily practice. We provide the tools for you to explore your inner landscape so yoga becomes a naturally integrated lifestyle.
Mindful Hatha and Yin Harmony
Master two deeply complementary styles. We focus on mindful Hatha and Yin, moving beyond mere physical shapes to use the body as a gateway for inner development. Our secular, inclusive approach ensures you learn to practice and teach safely while discovering your authentic voice.
Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science
We seamlessly weave the spiritual depth of the East with the physical science of the West. You will dive into classical philosophy, exploring texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Patanjalis Yoga Sutras, while simultaneously mastering modern functional anatomy.
Self-Paced with Lifetime Access
Your journey, your pace. Dive into comprehensive online modules featuring video lessons, an interactive Asana Lab, and community support. Enjoy lifetime access to all materials, fully backed by international Yoga Alliance certification whenever you are ready to teach.
Welcome to Your Inner Journey: YTT200 Hatha & Yin
Taking a course with us is first and foremost a journey for your own soul. At The Shala, our most important mantra is Be your own Guru. We are here to guide you so that you can become the ultimate teacher for your own personal development. Yoga holds an enormous potential as psychophysiological therapy, going far beyond physical movement to help you connect deeper with yourself.
In this YTT200 Hatha & Yin training, we bridge the gap between ancient Eastern wisdom and modern Western science. You will dive deep into two complementary styles—the foundational, active practice of Hatha Yoga and the deep, introspective release of Yin Yoga. Through carefully crafted modules, you will explore everything from classical asanas and ancient texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, to the power of a daily, mindful practice.
Whether you dream of stepping into the role of a teacher or simply wish to deepen your own practice, this self-paced certification gives you the tools you need. We believe that integrating theoretical knowledge with deep, practical experience is the best way to learn, allowing yoga to naturally become a lifelong lifestyle.
Who Is This For?
At The Shala, what matters most is not your physical flexibility, how "good" you are, or your starting point. This training is a safe, secular, and open space for everyone. This course is beautifully suited for:
- Dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of Hatha and Yin yoga beyond just the physical postures.
- Future yoga teachers seeking a comprehensive, Yoga Alliance certified education to confidently find and share their unique voice.
- Seekers of inner peace who wish to use yoga and meditation as powerful tools for self-inquiry, mindfulness, and personal growth.
- Busy individuals who need the flexibility of a self-paced, online journey that seamlessly integrates into their daily lifestyle with lifetime access.

"
Jill JørgensenAn oasis for those of us who want to develop ourselves further, and who want to learn – both for ourselves and for everyone we meet on the way. A place with a variety of courses that can be built on, and that can be supplemented with our own experience and knowledge.
Like small paths that meet in a larger landscape, this shows us the direction towards a good life – a life with more presence, calm and clarity. A breathing space where mindfulness and meditation become not just techniques, but a way of being.
A journey inward, and at the same time an invitation to carry silence with us into the world.
