"The online Vikasa training is such a gift. As a single mom with a full-time career, I could never have dreamed of being able to take the time off to participate in their YTT in person. The course materials are well organized and full of so much incredible content; I’ve noticed incredible improvement in my practice after only two sessions. Everyone involved with Vikasa is a genuine practitioner of yoga: humble, kind, and generous. Thank you so much for making this invaluable course!"
Craig McGuire
"I was hesitant about doing a YTT online. I thought it would never match a live training environment. I was completely wrong! I've gained so much more than I thought possible from an online delivery. A greater appreciation of my own personal yoga practice and how I can share my passion with others. And a greater appreciation of how to live with more purpose (the philosophy section is worth the course fee just by itself!) I highly recommend this training to any aspiring Yoga teacher (or anyone wishing simply to dive deeper into their own practice)."

"The past few weeks that I spent really diving into all of the practice and knowledge you provide have been so amazing. Establishing a new routine filled with so much mindfulness is really life changing. I love that one can watch the videos and practice individually whenever there is time throughout the day... That makes it really accessible for everyone. The information we get is highly valuable and super interesting, therefore really encouraging to transform your day to day life. The fact that we can constantly ask questions and get feedback in our online group is fantastic and makes the experience much more personal. I already feel very connected to the place and all the people although I’m so far away and I can’t wait to visit Vikasa in person."

START MY FREE TRIALWe believe in the power of self-initiative, self-love and personal evolution.
Our Approach and Method
Our approach is loved by students for being ‘Intelligent Freestyle of Yoga.’ Although we practice traditional yoga based on ancient lineages of Indian and Himalayan Hatha Yoga, we also teach students to adapt and evolve their practice to fit modern day life. This means our students become free from strict, dogmatic practices, enabling them to adapt their class or their practice to suit their own personality, style or needs. Students finish the course feeling empowered to go back to their lives and create something amazing.
The only way to truly have an impact on the world is to start with your own vibration. Evolution starts with self, it grows through our minds, bodies and energy until we are powerful motivators of connection and manifestors of change. This shift attracts like-minded people who strengthen communities and empower the world around us. The idea of ‘reaching out by reaching within’ is at the heart of our teacher training program – equipping you with the skills and confidence to connect with others and share the power of yoga.
