Sometimes yoga begins as a practice and gradually becomes a desire to understand yourself more deeply. Rooted in the Indian yoga tradition, Yogalife is an established yoga school in Germany and among the pioneers of yoga teacher training in Europe. For 27 years, we have guided people through Yoga Alliance certified teacher training, bringing together authentic yogic knowledge, modern science, self-inquiry and personal guidance.
Whether you want to become a yoga teacher or bring greater clarity, balance and meaning into your own life, our 200-hour yoga teacher training offers a deeply personal journey of learning and growth. Guided by experienced senior teachers, you will develop the knowledge, confidence and practical skills required for yoga instructor certification and discover how yoga can support the way you live, not only the way you practise.
Of Excellence
One of the pioneers of yoga teacher training in Europe, Yogalife has been bringing authentic Indian yoga into a modern, international learning environment since 1999.
Through this authentic yoga teacher training in Germany, you will discover that yoga can support much more than your physical practice. It offers practical tools for working with your body, mind, emotions, relationships and sense of direction, helping you meet everyday life with greater awareness and stability.
You will explore how yoga can support your health, energy and nervous system, while learning to recognise the patterns that quietly shape your choices. Low energy, emotional ups and downs, stress, procrastination and repetitive habits are not simply personal shortcomings. By understanding what happens within you, you become better able to respond consciously rather than being carried along by familiar reactions.
The training also explores how past experiences, memories and conditioning continue to influence the body and mind. As this awareness deepens, your relationship with yourself can become steadier and your relationships with others less reactive. Challenges do not disappear, but you learn to meet them with more clarity, presence and confidence.
Gradually, yoga becomes more than something you practise on the mat. You begin to experience it as a practical science of life, a way of understanding yourself and navigating life with greater ease, meaning and freedom.

Choosing a yoga teacher training is a personal and significant decision. We understand that you may not know us yet, and that a website alone cannot tell you whether our teachers, approach and atmosphere feel right for you.
Before you decide, we warmly invite you to experience Yogalife for yourself. You can join part of an ongoing training if available, receive a video of our teaching, meet one of our teachers in a personal video call or speak with our training coordinator about any practical questions.
There is no pressure to enrol. We want you to get to know us and feel confident that this is the right training for you.

CREATE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS
Each of our courses host several highly qualified master Yoga Trainers.
We combine management skills, presentation skills, facilitation and coaching along with the deep traditional teachings of Yoga.
Only prerequisite to start the teacher training is a ‘click’ with yoga. The moment you feel this system of yoga is doing good to you and you want to go to another level of refinement, you are ready for it. You can enroll the way you are without any preparation as the training itself is your preparation. You don’t need any sort of personality development or any pre knowledge of yoga or a particular level of fitness. Our groups are consisting of all ages, all genders, nationalities, different languages. You can always call our team to discuss what you think is your challenge area.
That might not necessarily be your primary focus and that’s ok! Maybe you just want to deepen your own practice and Yogic studies and also in that case a Teacher Training is the best place to come to. We as Yogalife do have to warn you that many students during their training fall in love with sharing their Yoga and most of our graduates do start teaching. You do you!
Every body is a Yoga body. As Yoga teachers, we learn how to find the functional yoga anatomy and modifications for every type of body or injury. We must be able to do exactly the same for ourselves. Flexibility is something that can be a result of practicing Yoga, it is not the aim of Yoga.
Hatha Yoga is the foundation of all modern yoga styles. Yogalife teaches core principles of asana and our signature hands-on adjustments. From here, each student develops their own authentic teaching style. Learn more about our upcoming Cologne YTT weekend schedule to get started.
Yogalife students are asked for their full commitment and presence throughout the training. Of course life happens and something might get in the way of your attendance. In that case, we look for the best solution together to make up for the hours. You will get the opportunity to do the topic in another training (also possible in one of our other locations) or do an online version of this topic. We might give you an extra assignment to make sure you have understood the material. In short, we are always here as teachers to give you extra wherever it is needed. If you are genuine and hungry to learn as a student, there are always solutions!
Yes, you can. We all have busy schedules and we understand it can be a challenge sometimes. Yoga is actually teaching us the tools on how to become effective in our energy management. What is the significance of it all if we can not put it to use in our everyday and very real buzzing lives? The weekend models are specially designed, keeping functional, working and family people. Talk openly to your family before the start of the training, explaining the importance and announcing that these 9 weekends will be focused on your Yoga training.
Yes, you can! It would be a sad thing if a genuine student misses out on starting their dream education because of financial reasons. Please reach out to us and let us know where you are financially. We will look for a solution together and see which payment program is reasonable. If you want to do this training, nothing should stop you!
