We treat our trainees as individuals whether you are doing this course for your own personal yoga development or you plan to make yoga teaching a full time career or integrate yoga skills into your current employment. Our courses are for everyone. We have had students of a wide variety of nationalities, ages (from 17 to 60+) of all body types (from slim to voluptuous). We have a 'you are good enough' mentality. As a result of our courses, many graduates have chosen to take a new and positive direction in their life with a new outlook on their own abilities.

Access to a special platform with a unique username and password where you will be able to view all our downloadable material (PDF), edited videos, articles, music resources, and additional materials to support your journey.

You will be assigned to a specialized mentor who is a qualified yoga teacher that will guide you during your yoga journey with us and monitor your progress with you through live chat. You have the responsibility of completing all our additional requirements such as quizzes, practice videos, final teaching exam video and final written exam.

The beauty of an online course is that you have the flexibility to go at your own pace. However you are free to study and improve at your own pace, whether it takes you 2 months or one year.

The certification you will get from this course is the Yoga Alliance 200hr YTT Certificate. After you have completed all our requirements you will be given your certificate through email and can now proceed to complete your registration with Yoga Alliance. (It will not mention "online" on the certificate and it is the same validity as a course that is "in person".)

If in case you are already a Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher then you may use this course as continuing education. Moreover the resource materials we give you are above and beyond what is given to an in-house trainee. This makes this course also ideal for those who have already completed their 200hrYTT with use of elsewhere.

Our attitude is honest, open, generous, non-invasive and compassionate. We understand that yoga is a process and have both had long and colourful journeys on the path of life and yoga. Our philosophy is that House Of Om instructors 'teach with soul' and inject personal insight and experience into their classes. We also know the importance of excellent communicators and understand and respect different beliefs and points of view. Most importantly, we aim to ensure that Yogafirst Teachers teach with understanding, knowing the science behind the methods of why yoga works and how. We do not tie graduates down to one point of view but empower our trainees with understanding and encourage them to find their own yoga style and practice – to be the best…

We welcome students with a strong yoga asana practice. However, we also believe that 200 hour courses are a foundation in yoga study. If you have a passion for yoga, we do not require you to be able to do a headstand or a full wheel or in fact any posture. The most important thing is that you are sure you have enough interest in yoga to want to commit to a demanding course in order to develop your yoga practice and share it with others.

The asana styles we teach are Hatha Yoga and Dynamic Vinyasa Flow emphasizing internal awareness as well as external form. We ensure that you are given a rounded view of yoga asana and also offer insight into restorative yoga to ensure you have plenty of tools to teach a varied student body. There is also a strong emphasis on subtle energy practices and a lot of time is spent on pranayama and meditation.

We believe that theory is only the starting point of yoga (as Guruji Pattabhi Jois famously put it 99% practice, 1% theory) and ensure that the courses we run are as interactive and practical as possible. None of our courses have more than 20 students. We ensure that there is plenty of opportunity for practice teaching including 2 practical exams with peer and tutor feedback to help you develop as a teacher.

A small proportion of yoga students will commit to decades of study with a senior teacher (such as an Iyengar or Ashtanga practice) or come with a strong interest in mediation and subtle yoga.

However, in the current environment, people come for very physical reasons: body conditioning, detoxification, to lose weight and burn calories; all relating to their bodies and with an 'instant results' mentality. The yoga experience in the Modern World is criticized for being inauthentic.

House Of Om yoga school programs are designed to reach people from those initial expectations but still educate and expand their awareness of yoga and its benefits. All graduates are ready to teach if they wish to, and we believe that although yoga is expanding, the need for well-trained teachers is still very high. With all the problems faced by the modern world we believe this work is critical and that there are so many people out there who need help and safe, effective guidance into yoga. We train teachers to do just that in a clear, non-invasive and tangible way.
