Hatha-Vinyasa Intensive Yoga Teacher Training 200h / AYA Certified
Do you want to feel light and healthy in your body again, experience love for yourself and others in your heart, and develop a clear and focused mind? Then WAY is the right place for you. Our 200-hour / AYA yoga teacher training will not only train you to become a well-grounded yoga teacher, but our experienced instructors will also guide you on a transformative journey toward love, clarity, and joy in life. You will sustainably improve your personal practice and be taught according to a 10-year scientifically based and continuously refined module concept. All our lead trainers have completed at least 500 hours of yoga teacher training and are either medical doctors, physiotherapists, alternative practitioners, sports scientists, or come from other yoga-related professions.
Our 200-hour AYA certified intensive yoga teacher training is a compact 16-day course, consisting of Module 1 (8-day intensive) and Module 2 (8-day intensive). The 16-day intensive concept was developed 10 years ago by Marion Neises in collaboration with several educators and doctors and was introduced in 2012 as the first intensive course in Germany. The course concept has been reviewed and approved multiple times within the framework of our state recognition under §6 paragraph 1 WBLVO M-V, as well as under labor market promotion regulations AZAV (Accreditation and Approval Ordinance for Employment Promotion according to the Third Social Code) and the DIN 29990 teaching academy certification. Additionally, our training meets the high-quality standards of the Yoga Alliance (AYA), making our certificates valid worldwide.
The course provides you with a solid foundation in the Hatha and Vinyasa yoga traditions. You will receive in-depth and modern training in Hatha and Vinyasa practices, and within the overall program, you can also explore other yoga styles. You will deepen your practice and learn numerous didactic tools to teach yoga professionally and thoroughly. Our always warm, caring, and highly experienced yoga teachers will also support your personal development. We do this from the stance of a supportive guide, never from the traditional Indian approach of strict discipline and rigorous methods often found in Indian trainings.
In our training program, there is a strong practical component consisting of asana, pranayama, and meditation. We place great emphasis on correct alignment, and the alignment books written by Marion Neises are used as textbooks in the training. Our teachers adjust you with precision. Through anatomically correct hands-on techniques and the use of props, your blockages will dissolve and you will regain a healthy posture. The use of props, hands-on adjustments, and our alignment approach is essential for the health of every practitioner.
You will receive instruction in anatomy and physiology from academically trained sports scientists, medical doctors, physiotherapists, and educators. Our approach to anatomy and physiology is based on the so-called seven-level model, which helps you understand how yoga affects all bodily systems.
The important classical yoga texts, from the Hatha Pradipika to the Yoga Sutras, are covered. In specialized sessions, you will learn how to plan classes didactically, guide asanas correctly, design class sequences, and develop your own style. After the training, you will leave transformed from how you arrived, because yoga initiates profound processes of personal transformation. Our teachers accompany you individually with great dedication, deep psychological insight, and heartfelt love.

Professional Profile: Yoga Teacher
More than 5 million people practice yoga in Germany – and the number is growing. Yoga is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the field of sports science. Well-trained yoga teachers are therefore in high demand.
Although the professional title is not legally protected, the profession of yoga teacher has gained increasing recognition in recent years. A certified and comprehensive yoga teacher training generally develops both the methodological and subject-matter expertise needed to offer individually adapted, anatomically sound instruction.
The role of a yoga teacher is to teach people relaxation techniques, coach them toward a healthier overall lifestyle, enhance body awareness, calm the mind, strengthen the soul, and build physical fitness.

For beginners and intermediate level
by Marion Neises
In the book “The Big Yoga Book for Beginners & Intermediate”, all the levels addressed by yoga are explained and guided in relation to individual asanas. It is therefore both a guide for mindful, safe alignment and a spiritual guide to deeply engage with yoga. Without precise alignment of body, mind, and soul, yoga can sometimes even be harmful. Ligaments, joints, and muscles can be damaged over time if asanas are not performed correctly. The mind and soul can be led in the wrong direction if yoga is not experienced as a holistic philosophy.
As part of the training, the workbook is included in the course price. The textbook is listed separately when booking the course and is ordered directly through MACAMA Verlag at the indicated price. The textbooks must always be purchased directly when booking the course; this ensures that the most up-to-date version is used during the training.

Because a solid training
is important to me!
I participated in the 200h/AYA Yoga Teacher Training in Mallorca in November 2015 and was thrilled. The team is simply amazing, and the training was so thorough that it provided me with an excellent foundation for my further yogic journey. I immediately booked the M3 module for January 2016 in Wiesbaden and am really looking forward to it! Many thanks to Marion, Marina, and Jacqueline – you’re fantastic!
I learned so much and gained a lot from the experience, and I’m really excited to lead my very first yoga class. I was lucky to be part of a wonderful group of ten special, lovely people. I already miss everyone… Your program truly enables participants to lead a beginner yoga class within just nine days. What’s especially remarkable is that, despite the full schedule, you always have an open ear for your students. Keep up the great work! I’ll gladly return for M2.
Module 1 of the Yoga Teacher Training – I’m thrilled! It’s challenging, joyful, intensely educational, tirelessly practicing, simply amazing! Thanks to the lovely ladies in my course and the charming young man! Thanks to Marion, your teaching is brilliant! Thanks to Sandy, Kay, Theresa, and Marina, with whom I got to spend the trial day. I’m now even more excited to meet the other trainers.
Ich habe Way über Google gefunden und dann die M2i in Wiesbaden ausgesucht, weil sie halt “am besten in meinen Terminkalender passte”, und bin sehr froh darüber, dass das so gekommen ist. Ich habe wirklich liebe Leute in den Gruppen kennengelernt (schade, dass man manchmal so weit auseinander wohnt) und bin vom WAY-Team richtig mitgerissen worden. Jeder auf seine Art war toll – und ich habe von jedem/jeder lernen und was mitnehmen können. Danke für die tollen 2 Wochen! Ich freue mich schon sehr auf die M3 im Sommer!!!
