Akasha Yoga Academy is an internationally recognized online yoga school that has been training teachers and practitioners since 2012. A Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School, the academy offers programs ranging from foundational 200-hour teacher training to advanced 300-hour certifications and specialized 80-hour courses in meditation, Hatha yoga, pranayama, and yin yoga.
The academy is led by three senior teachers — Burkhard, Kirsten, and Devdas — who bring a combined 65 years of teaching experience. All three hold E-RYT-500 certification and teach from a tradition rooted in the Vinyasa Krama style of Krishnamacharya, integrating breath-based practice with meditation, philosophy, and anatomy.
Based originally in Bali, where their studio content is filmed, Akasha Yoga Academy has trained over 1,100 yoga instructors who now teach across six continents. The academy holds ratings of 4.93 out of 5 on Trustpilot, 4.8 out of 5 on Google, and 4.9 out of 5 on Facebook, placing it among the highest-rated yoga schools internationally.
Their curriculum integrates traditional yogic philosophy — including study of the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and Hatha Yoga Pradipika — with practical teaching methodology and modern anatomy. Programs are delivered in a hybrid format combining self-paced pre-recorded content with live Zoom sessions, making them accessible to students worldwide.
