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.

What Our Students Say About Us

Eve Charles
Eve Charles, France Sep 2023 YTT Taupo, New Zealand

"In the transformative journey of my recent yoga teacher training, led by the incredible duo of Joleen and Steve, I found more than just a certification – I discovered a profound experience that transcends the realms of conventional learning. Their wealth of knowledge, coupled with unwavering professionalism, created an environment where wisdom flowed endlessly. What set this training apart was the emphasis on daily teaching, ensuring that each lesson learned was immediately applied, solidifying our understanding. This training not only equipped me with the theoretical foundation essential for teaching yoga but also instilled a newfound confidence in my abilities. The intimacy of the class, limited to just nine students, cultivated a safe space where we could learn, share, and grow together. This unique setting fostered a sense of camaraderie, making the learning process not just informative, but also deeply enriching on a personal level. I am forever thankful for this opportunity, for it has not only honed my teaching skills but also transformed me holistically. With newfound confidence, I am ready to embark on my teaching journey, inspired by the wisdom and grace of Joleen and Steve. If you seek a yoga teacher training that goes beyond the ordinary, where learning is intimate, and growth is boundless, this training is the beacon guiding your path toward becoming a yoga teacher."

"This teacher training was more than I could have ever imagined. Steve and Joleen are not only incredibly knowledgable, but extraordinarily kind, caring, and compassionate. You can truly feel the passion they both share of yoga and teaching. Seriously, I cannot imagine being in better hands for any level of teacher training, whether it is your 200hr or 300hr! The discussions and lectures held were not only informative, but stimulating and entertaining. The daily practices were absolutely beautiful as well. I cannot rave about this school enough!"

"Such an amazing, enlightening beautiful 3 weeks. Joleen and Steve are amazing teachers and such lovely and supportive people. We started teaching on the first day and I came a very long way since then. I had moments of feeling like I wasn’t going to be a good teacher and was really anxious at first but Joleen and Steve reassured me and by the last week I transformed into an awesome yoga teacher. Such a great course. So glad I chose to do it with Joleen and Steve. I learnt so much about yoga and life itself. Feel like a better person for it. Such a great group of people did the course alongside me and we had the best time, feels like I have so many new friends for life. Really awesome location and beautiful house as well. Thank you for everything Joleen and Steve. You guys are the best and I am eternally grateful. Also you can see all the stars really clearly at night. Such a magical place."
