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 200h / AYA Yoga Teacher Training will not only train you to become a skilled yoga teacher, but our experienced instructors will guide you on a transformative journey toward love, clarity, and joy in life. You will sustainably improve your own practice and be taught according to a 10-year scientifically grounded and continually updated module concept. All our lead trainers hold at least a 500h yoga teacher certification and are medical doctors, physiotherapists, naturopaths, sports scientists, or come from other yoga-related professions.
Our 200h AYA Intensive Yoga Teacher Training is a 16-day compact 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 is approved within our state accreditation according to §6, paragraph 1 WBLVO M-V, as well as under AZAV (Accreditation and Licensing Regulation for Employment Promotion) and DIN 29990 Academy Certification. Furthermore, our training meets the high-quality standards of Yoga Alliance (AYA), making our certificates valid worldwide.
The course provides a solid foundation in Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga traditions. You will receive deep and modern training in both Hatha and Vinyasa practices and can choose to explore other yoga styles within the overall program. You will deepen your practice and learn numerous didactic tools to teach yoga professionally and effectively. Our warm, caring, and highly experienced instructors will also support your personal development, always from a position of guidance rather than traditional Indian-style rigor or indoctrination.
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 Levels
by Marion Neises
The book “The Comprehensive Yoga Book for Beginners & Intermediate Levels” accompanies you on all levels that yoga touches – body, mind, and soul – and explains each asana in a detailed and practical way. It serves both as a guide for mindful and safe alignment and as a spiritual orientation, helping you dive deeply into your yoga practice. Without precise alignment of body, mind, and soul, yoga can even be harmful: asanas performed incorrectly over years can strain ligaments, joints, and muscles, while the mind and soul may not achieve the desired alignment.
As part of our training, the workbook is included in the price. The textbook is listed separately when booking the course and can be ordered directly through MACAMA Verlag. Important: textbooks must always be ordered with the course booking to ensure you use the most current version during your training. This way, you benefit fully from both practice and theory – whether you practice in Zurich, the Alps, or Lake Geneva, the book reliably accompanies you on your yoga journey.

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.
I found WAY through Google and then chose the M2i in Wiesbaden because it simply “fit best into my schedule,” and I’m really glad it worked out that way. I truly met wonderful people in the groups (it’s a pity that sometimes we live so far apart) and was completely inspired by the WAY team. Everyone was amazing in their own way—and I was able to learn something from each person. Thank you for the fantastic 2 weeks! I’m already really looking forward to M3 in the summer!!!
