Akasha Yoga Academy: 300-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training

Course program

The 300-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training by Akasha Yoga Academy is an advanced program that spans three major practice areas — Hatha yoga and pranayama, yin yoga, and meditation — within a single integrated curriculum. It is delivered by a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School and qualifies graduates for RYT-500 registration when combined with a 200-hour certification.

This training is for yoga teachers and experienced practitioners who already have a foundation typically built in a 200-hour teacher training and want to deepen their expertise across multiple modalities. It suits teachers who want to expand beyond a single style and develop the ability to lead Hatha, yin, and meditation classes with confidence.

The curriculum is divided into three 100-hour parts:
– Part 1: Advanced Hatha Yoga and Pranayama, including breath-based Vinyasa in the Krishnamacharya lineage, classical asana, advanced bandhas, arm balance progressions, and pranayama.
– Part 2: Yin Yoga and Self-Inquiry, covering archetypal yin postures, restorative practice, meridian and fascia anatomy, mindfulness, loving-kindness, and contemplative inquiry.
– Part 3: Spiritual Heart Meditation, including non-dual Advaita Vedanta wisdom, mantra meditation, and how to facilitate meditation groups.

Students also complete five one-on-one feedback sessions with a supervisor and four peer-to-peer teaching practice classes (Hatha or Vinyasa, yin yoga, pranayama, and meditation).

Three senior teachers lead the program — Burkhard, Kirsten, and Devdas — all certified at the highest Yoga Alliance level (E-RYT-500). They are joined by five guest teachers, contributing a combined 85 years of teaching experience. Akasha Yoga Academy has trained more than 1,100 yoga instructors now teaching across six continents.

The format is hybrid. Students join over 45 live Zoom sessions, with eight calls offered per week to accommodate different time zones, alongside pre-recorded content and self-paced assignments. The live component is central — it provides the practice, feedback, and peer learning that advanced training requires. Graduates receive lifetime access to all videos, manuals, and materials.

Upon completion, graduates receive a 300-hour certificate from a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School. Combined with a 200-hour certification, this qualifies them for RYT-500 registration. The training prepares teachers to lead classes across Hatha yoga, yin yoga, pranayama, and meditation with depth and confidence.
