Weekends in our beautiful Perth studios
And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." 
Anais Nin

We offer a safe and nurturing space for transformation to occur, creating a community of empowered and highly skilled yoga teachers spreading light and love all over the world.

About the training

We believe that becoming a highly skilled yoga teacher requires more than learning the craft. It is a gentle uncovering of the teacher’s unique essence and teaching style.
 
The story of your life becomes the poetry of your practice... the joy, the pain, the mystical and mundane. Your authentic voice will speak to your students' hearts as you share from humility and grace.
 
Y
ou will emerge from this training a confident, grounded, amazing Vinyasa Flow teacher.
 
We invite you to open your heart to the teachings as you learn and evolve beyond the Asana practice. Experience your transformation into a confident teacher who commands the space during class, creating your own unique style and sharing your inner wisdom from your personal life's teachings.

With our ongoing mentorship program, we’ll continue to be with you every step of the way. We want to ensure you receive all the support you need to start your journey as a confident yoga teacher.

Still wondering if it's for you?

'I’m not sure if I want to be a teacher. Is this training still for me?'
 
Absolutely!
 
Many of us are pulled to undertake teacher training long before we feel compelled to teach. If you love yoga and community, and crave deep personal growth and connection, this journey is definitely for you.
 
Our only prerequisite is an open heart and mind.

I'm ready to step into this training...

Why Yab Yum?

This training is so completely unique, you won't find anything else quite like it.

We want all of our students to have FUN as we explore the realms of the mystical yogic arts together. 
You will join a group of like minded souls who share the same vision and goal, supporting each other through moments of absolute heart exploding bliss and undoubtedly moments of inevitable struggle. Each group merges into union, as a new tribe of soul family and community is birthed. 
 
Your taste buds will be tantalised with delicious, nourishing meals as you soak in the magical energy of our sacred land here in the west. It is completely natural to arrive a little unsure or nervous, but as you are held safely within sacred space the urge to completely surrender will become too powerful to ignore, as you gently let go and arrive home to your truest essence and authentic self.
 
This is not your average yoga teacher training. You will be pushed beyond your comfort zone, but only to meet that part of yourself that knows absolute truth, freedom, unconditional love and acceptance.

I'd like to see where this journey can take me...

Yuki Chen

ACADEMY DIRECTOR | E-RYT 200 / RYT 500 YACEP
After obtaining a double degree at the University of Western Australia and flourishing in the corporate world, Yuki decided to break away and forge her own path as an entrepreneur. Finding yoga was the missing link... the ultimate answer to serving her community while putting her business skills to good use!
 
After completing her YTT, Yuki was instantly offered high profile work as a yoga teacher for the Western Force, Lorna Jane, Qantas, Westfield, Bodhi J, Tiger Muay Thai (Phuket, Thailand), F45 and, of course, Yab Yum Yoga.
 
Yuki’s mission in the world of yoga is to make yoga accessible to everyone, of all ages and abilities. Her classes are an intricate dance of yin and yang, reflecting her passion for dance and sound, order and chaos, to a point of perfect harmony.
 
Now, at the helm of Yab Yum Yoga and the Academy, Yuki delivers on her mission and passion every day; creating a fast-growing community of brilliant yoga teachers and passionate yogis.

All previous students have commented on the passion, dedication, love and care of our YTT teaching team. They truly are committed to helping each individual bloom into the teacher they were always destined to be.
