The 'Path to Being' 200hrs teacher training is for anyone who is curious to extend their knowledge & practice of yoga in all its forms. It is about deepening YOUR practice first; going further on the path of being a student of Yoga, valuing personal experience & embodiment above all. It is about getting more tools to navigate the world around us & tune in to the world within us.
And it is about sharing; bringing your knowledge & contribution to others - under the label of "yoga teacher" or not - because it matters.

• Growth takes time. And so, we'll take the time. With 200hrs of actual teaching contact hours, we will take the time to dive into our curriculum & adapt the pace to the group. Time between the modules will allow self-practice & reflection and most importantly, integration of the knowledge.

• Learning takes space. And so, you'll have the space. With a unique small group of 10 students maximum, we want to provide each participant with attention & care. Quality over quantity.

• Teaching takes practice. And so, you'll practice. With extended time & space, you will have many opportunities to apply the knowledge & techniques week after week, receiving constructive feedbacks from the faculty of teachers. Whether your intention is to teach yoga in the end or not, you will develop skills & confidence that will transform you beyond the mat.

MEET YOUR TEACHERS
Our faculty is composed of highly trained & experienced teachers coming from various paths of life & yoga.
The core values that bring us together are: EMBODIMENT. KNOWLEDGE. PASSION. TRANSMISSION.

We won't be your gurus; but we will pass on the teachings we have received with integrity, joy & dedication.
We will open up to all that we have learnt through years of practice, study & enquiry.
We will support you & learn by your side - because when one teaches, two learn.
We cannot wait to share this Path to Being with you!

If you’re thinking about completing a yoga teacher training, I highly recommend Anne’s training! She’s a very qualified teacher, a wonderful person and offers the most beautiful and thought-through course manual I’ve ever seen in all my school and study journey! (Manuela G. 2022)

The "Path to Being" with Anne is an amazing YTT in so many ways. It is a great training for becoming a Yoga Teacher where you learn a lot of tools & techniques, anatomy and physiology, structure of a class, yoga styles, history, philosophy and much more. You learn these things by self-practice, studying (a great manual), sharing with others, listening, questioning, and teaching yourself. And it is also a great training for connecting with yourself, learning new things for/about yourself. Anne is a great teacher and shares so much valuable knowledge. And there are also great guest teachers. The whole course is put together with so much heart & soul. The small group also makes it very personal. It was the best decision I made in 2021 and recommend this YTT to everyone 🙂 PS. It is even worth commuting from Zürich to St.Gallen. (Melina V., 2021)

I highly recommend Bubble Yoga classes, workshops and training for everyone! I've worked with Anne, founder of Bubble Yoga Studio, to run workshops for her training students. I was welcomed at her cozy studio and felt a special energy in everything she's done with it. She has a sincere view on yoga, SO much knowledge, and a drive to make everything at the highest level possible. (Petra K. – Guest teacher)

Beautiful journey to dig deeper into the world and fascination of Yoga - Anne, a passionate, loving, joyful, open-hearted and devoted yoga teacher, sharing her huge knowledge with the students and brings your inner teacher to shine. Highly recommended!!! (Manuela S., 2021)

For three years I was looking for a yoga teacher training that is well-founded and is carried out in a small group. How grateful I am today that N. recommended Bubble Yoga’s teacher training to me. It was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life and I can recommend the next training to everyone who wants to get to know themselves better and is looking for positive change. (Niki Z., 2021)

I have the honour to do my yoga teacher training at Bubble Yoga. Couldn‘t have chosen a better studio. Anne is a very passionated teacher with a lot of experience. Her team and her have created a beautiful studio to practice different styles of Yoga and a place to feel always well. ‘Path to Being’ is a greatly designed training whether you like to teach later or not. Small group size, varied programme and very experienced teacher. (Anja K., 2022)

DO I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO ADVANCED YOGA POSES TO JOIN THE TRAINING?
No, you don't. First of, the purpose of a training is to learn, so if we expected you to already have an advanced practice, then we would call it an advanced training! You need to have a consistent practice, strong interest to learn & enough understanding of the basics that the large amount of information that we teach in the training will take your journey further, not drawn you... You do not need to know how to handstand to join the training, but keep in mind that our morning practices are usually 2 hours long so a good overall physical health is needed!

WHAT HAPPENS IF I ALREADY HAVE COMMITMENTS ON SOME DAYS OF THE TRAINING?
We require 100% attendance to graduate and receive a certificate of completion from our programme. However, we understand that you may have important commitments outside of the training or that unplanned absences may happen due to illness or emergency circumstances. Should such circumstances impact attendance, students are permitted to miss up to 2 days of classes, provided they work with the programme director to make up any missed hours.
If more than one weekend of training is missed, you will be responsible for rescheduling missed hours to make up any course material you have missed (additional costs may apply).

I DO NOT INTEND TO TEACH YOGA. IS THE TRAINING RIGHT FOR ME?
100% YES! To be honest, most people who join our trainings do not intend to be yoga teachers. Our programme is first & foremost a journey for yourself to dive deeper into the practice & knowledge of yoga. That being said, we believe that there is a lot to learn about a topic by teaching it & sharing it with others. We are 100% confident that the methods & tools we share in our Teaching Methodology modules will be valuable to you not only to teach effective, safe & confident classes shall you wish to go there one day, but also beyond useful for life & work.

I HAVE AN INJURY/SPECIAL CONDITION/AM PREGNANT - CAN I ATTEND THE TRAINING?
It depends. The first question is whether you have the green light from your medical doctor. Provided you do, let's have a chat! A lot of physical limitations are actually not limitations for the training (it can even be a chance for you, and others, to learn to adapt the practice in similar cases!). Regarding pregnancy, there also it depends - we've actually had pregnant ladies in most our training groups & always found ways to make it work but there as well, let's talk about it!

WILL I BE QUALIFIED TO TEACH YOGA PROFESSIONALLY ONCE I COMPLETE THE TRAINING?
Yes! Through our training programme you will have many opportunities to practice teaching in order to foster your skills & confidence. We also talk about ways to develop yoga as a job, marketing, insurance - all of it! Many of our graduates from previous training currently teach & have been hired by yoga studios (including Bubble Yoga!), university sports teams, corporate offices & more!
Know that your journey does not end on graduation day & our faculty of teachers will keep supporting you on your teaching path beyond the training programme. Our Yoga Alliance certification provides you with an international standard, meaning your teacher certificate will be recognised anywhere in the world.

WHAT DOES 'YOGA ALLIANCE ELEVATED STANDARDS' MEAN?
The Yoga Alliance is an American non-profit association representing the yoga community around the world. It sets a number of rules & requirements to evaluate yoga trainings in order to provide uniformed standards of education across the world.
Since 2021, the YA has raised the standards to enhance the quality & safety of services offered by yoga schools, adding stricter requirements about effective classroom hours, standards of education & experience for the lead teachers, minimum practice hours for the trainees prior to graduating the programme, an overall stricter application review process & more.
In this transition period, some previously registered schools are still running programmes based on the old standards (they have until end of 2023 to catch up with the new requirements), some schools have already been certified or upgraded to the new standards which is why you may see differences between trainings although they may hold the same RYS (Registered Yoga School) labels.
>> Bubble Yoga Academy is a 'RYS200' programme certified under the new elevated standards. Students graduating from our programme will be entitled to register as 'RYT200' (Registered Yoga Teacher) with the Yoga Alliance.
