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

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.

About the Vinyasa Yoga Teacher 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.
 
You 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.

We have graduated over 100 heart centred yoga teachers from this course since 2018.

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

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 the sacred land of mama Bali. 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.

Lead Hatha TRAINER | E-RYT 500 YACEP
Jeff Jones is an international yoga teacher with over a decade of experience guiding men and women into deeper connection through movement, breath, and presence. What began as a way to heal from years of powerlifting evolved into a lifelong journey of self-discovery and service.

Rooted in the physical, Jeff’s practice has expanded into the realms of mind and spirit — profoundly influenced by Vipassana meditation and men’s work. His teaching embodies strength, stillness, and grounded awareness, offering students a safe space to explore both discipline and surrender.

A devoted student of Amir Khalighi and Kadea Metara, Jeff now resides in Utah, where he shares yoga, breathwork, and men’s embodiment practices that awaken authenticity and inner balance.
