What Makes Our YTT Special
Here at Asia Pacific Yoga, we strive to create immersive, expansive and transformational experiences that you will not forget. We believe in keeping our groups small, a maximum of 8 students, so that each student gets the maximum benefit out of the training and the proper attention he or she deserves.
Yoga practises are about feeling better. It is not about what it looks like. It is about what it feels like. Our trainings are about exploration, not perfection. We are passionate about our yoga and love to share these simple but profound practices.
We go by the principles of every body is DIFFERENT. We understand that there is no ‘One Size Fits All’ when it comes to yoga and that every student has different needs when learning how to teach yoga.
So join us for a few weeks of immersive yoga practices, pranayama, meditation and transformative self-development techniques to connect with your unique self.
Release whatever is holding you back and empower yourself to go out and share what you love and help others live a more fulfilled, happier and healthier life.
