In our 200-hour yoga teacher training in Zurich, you'll deepen your own practice in Vinyasa and Yin Yoga and develop a new understanding of yoga that goes far beyond the asanas.
The training is certified in accordance with Yoga Alliance standards.
We don't just want to learn about yoga, we want to truly experience it. You'll have the space to try new things and find your own approach.
YOUR PATH TO TEACHING
Since 2008, we at Planet Yoga in Zurich have been guiding people along this journey, in small groups, with experienced teachers, and plenty of personal exchange.
With us, you'll learn to turn your experience and knowledge into teaching that's clear and authentic. You'll try things out, teach, get feedback, and gradually develop your own style along the way.
YOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING AT PLANET YOGA
Whether you want to teach yoga down the road or simply bring your own practice to a new level, this training opens up new perspectives on yoga, and maybe on yourself, too.
For more than 20 years, Planet Yoga has been a place where people practice, learn, and share yoga. Our teacher trainings bring together that long experience with an open, modern, and personal atmosphere.
You'll learn in small groups, alongside experienced teachers and people just as curious about yoga as you are, an environment where you can ask questions, experiment, grow, and simply be yourself.

YOGA STYLES
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic yoga style that has its roots in Shri K. Patthabi Jois' Indian Ashtanga Vinyasa system and was further developed in the 1980s. Vinyasa Yoga is challenging, aesthetic and moving. This style of yoga strengthens and revitalizes the body. Mental clarity sets in and general well-being is sought at every level.
Yin yoga
Yin Yoga is a passive and restorative style of yoga developed by Paul Grilley. It consists mainly of asanas that are practiced on the floor and held for a long time. The body is stretched into the fascia (connective tissue), deep-seated tension is released and mobility is increased.
