Ready to Teach Yoga? Join Me Online or in Portugal
Two incredible teacher training opportunities: Online Hatha Vinyasa or Live Yin Yoga.
Are you—or someone you know—ready to take the next step into teaching yoga?
I’m excited to share two transformative teacher training opportunities that will help you deepen your practice and gain the confidence to guide others on their journey.
When I first started teaching yoga, I often felt uncertain. How could I lead a room full of people with such different bodies, needs, and experiences? It didn’t feel right to ask everyone to do the same thing or focus so much on form—where to place the foot, how the pose should look.
Over time, through studying functional yoga and mindfulness, my whole approach changed. I began to understand: there’s no one-size-fits-all in yoga. Every body is different. Every journey is unique. Everybody deserves to feel seen and respected.
This insight gave me confidence as a teacher. It brought more joy into my classes and helped me create spaces where people feel safe, supported, and free to explore their own path. And it’s this inclusive and empowering approach that I bring into the teacher trainings I lead.
We’ve received wonderful feedback about both the Live Online Hatha & Vinyasa and the “Live on location” Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings. People who have completed other trainings often tell us these are the most comprehensive programs they’ve done—and that they truly feel ready to teach.
Now, I'm inviting you to join one of these upcoming programs:
1. Online Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training – 200 Hours
Start date: October 16th, 2025
In collaboration with YogaEasy
If you're looking for a flexible, in-depth training that combines pre-recorded content with live classes, this online program is an excellent choice.
You’ll learn from a very experienced teaching team, dive into mindfulness, meditation, and the nervous system with me, and walk away with the tools to teach with authenticity and clarity.
🧘♀️ Why this training?
– Learn at your own pace with high-quality, engaging video content

Both trainings embrace the principles of functional yoga and mindfulness. They’ll support you in becoming a more confident, compassionate, and adaptable teacher—one who honors the individuality of every student.
Whether you feel drawn to the dynamic energy of Hatha and Vinyasa or the stillness and depth of Yin, I’d love to invite you to take the leap. You’re welcome to join us for one—or both—of these journeys.
With love,
Esther
