Yoga Teacher Training
Power Living’s 200hr Yoga Teacher Training is a structured pathway
for dedicated students and emerging teachers — developed over 18 years,

“
I initially joined to deepen my own practice, but it developed far more than that — how I think, how I communicate, and how I show up in my work.
— Courtney, Power Living graduate

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not sure I want to teach — is this training still right for me?
Yes. Many of our graduates enrolled without any intention to teach and found the training to be one of the most valuable experiences of their lives. The 200hr training develops how you think, communicate and lead — regardless of what you do with it afterwards. If you have a committed personal practice and want to go deeper, this training is for you.
What yoga experience do I need to do yoga teacher training?
We recommend a minimum of six months regular vinyasa yoga practice before enrolling in the course. If your background is in a style other than this, we recommend you have a minimum of one year’s dedicated personal practice before applying, plus some experience of vinyasa yoga. If you haven’t done vinyasa before, we recommend trying out some classes in one of our studios to make sure it’s the right fit for you.

Yes! Our 200hr yoga teacher training courses are internationally recognised. The program has been designed specifically to meet Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia 200-hour teacher training requirements. Our course is certified by AUSActive for 20 CPDs for fitness professionals.
