Vinyasa & Power Foundations
Are you passionate about yoga and ready to take your practice to the next level? The 200-hour Vinyasa & Power Foundations Teacher Training at YG Studios is a high-quality, in-depth program designed to prepare you for a career in teaching, and at the same time to enrich and deepen your personal journey.
This training is grounded, comprehensive and practical, covering all essential aspects of yoga. You’ll not only build a strong foundation in the physical practice of Yoga but also dive deep into the philosophy, history, anatomy and science that support it.
multistyle yoga teacher training
You’ll be joining a multistyle yoga teacher training, learning two styles in one: Power and Vinyasa. Both styles are rooted in traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and share the same core principles, yet each offers its own unique qualities and tools.
Power Yoga focuses on strength, stamina, longer holds, and a more structured, dynamic approach, creating space to explore practices such as ujjayi breath, drishti, and bandhas. Vinyasa Flow Yoga is more fluid and creative, emphasizing smooth transitions and meditation in motion, with sequences that adapt to the teacher and the needs of the students.
Throughout the training, you’ll experience and study both styles simultaneously. As the course progresses, you’ll be guided to dive deeper into one style — supporting you in developing your own authentic teaching voice, aligned with your intentions and strengths.
Comprehensive & Immersive Approach
Created and led by a diverse team of highly experienced and specialized teachers, this course offers personal guidance through one-on-one coaching, as well as structured self-study, including reading assignments, written reflections, and class observations. During the five-month course, you’ll also enjoy an immersive studio experience: a behind-the-scenes look at how a popular yoga studio in Rotterdam operates, giving you valuable insight into the professional yoga world.
Beyond foundational knowledge of Vinyasa and Power, this training introduces you to specialized topics such as prenatal & postnatal yoga, meditation, pranayama, and Ayurveda—while also offering deeper insight into the centuries-old traditions and philosophies that form the heart of yoga. You’ll explore the knowledge behind the practice, building a well-rounded and meaningful foundation for both teaching and personal growth.

Why join?
This training gives you more than just a certificate—it’s a transformative learning experience.
We have intentionally chosen not to accredit this training with Yoga Alliance. While our program fully meets their standards in structure, hours, and content, we believe that true teaching ability goes beyond certification. In many parts of the world, including Europe and most of Asia, accreditation is not required to teach, and being part of Yoga Alliance involves ongoing costs and obligations. Instead, we focus on what truly matters: quality, presence, and the ability to guide others with authenticity and skill. Upon completion, you will receive a YG Studios certificate reflecting your competence across all aspects of the training — grounded in real experience, not just a label.
