A complete yoga teacher training course
This 250 hour course combines our courses in Hatha, Restorative and Menopause yoga teaching, giving you the rounded skillset you need to be able to teach a wide range of classes.
Learn online or in-person
This unique course is a blend of learning styles, and takes place over the course of four to five months.
If learning solely online via our Zoom and Facebook Live sessions, we blend this with interactive multimedia lessons, interactive presentations and recorded videos that you can watch again and again to deepen your learning.
For those training in person, you benefit from the blended learning as well as live face-to-face sessions.
Each course offers excellent teaching standards and adheres to the Academy’s ethos for integrity, strength and focus. Students on both courses have the opportunity to interact via a dedicated online group and receive unlimited and individualised support during this time.
This 250-hour course is ideally suited to those students who have been practising yoga for two years, and who wish to immerse themselves in a disciplined course of self-study with commitment and integrity.
Yoga Pros registered Senior Yoga Teacher, Diane Lee, will be teaching a minimum of 70% of the course contact hours.
All students considered for the course should have been practising yoga for a minimum of 2 years.

What’s included
This 250 hour course includes three core areas in one complete course:
Our Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course provides a firm foundation in yoga ethics - you will learn the fundamental teachings of Hatha Yoga, with a focus on Pranayama and the synchronisation of breath and movement, the course will also equip you to plan, practice and teach your own yoga classes safely and with confidence.
Our Restorative course will teach you the origins of this practice, as well as the specific benefits of each restorative asana. There is a strong focus on anatomy and physiology in the early part of the course, before we move on to teaching methodology and the effective sequencing of a restorative yoga class.
The Menopause workshop will look at the importance of yoga teachers in holding the space, with the correct toolkit of information to best serve and support women who are going through this challenging period, and all of the associated emotional and hormonal changes that occur during this time.

What our students are saying about The Academy for Yoga Training…
“Thank you Diane for the wonderful, life changing experience. My confidence has grown with every step forward and step outside my comfort zone. I would highly recommend the course.”
“Thank you so much a brilliant first weekend! I loved the whole thing. I was so nervous beforehand but felt so much positive energy and support from you and the lovely group. I am so happy I picked your course!”
“Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be on the teaching course, I can’t tell you how much I am loving it. It’s pushed me beyond my comfort zone and made me feel incredible. Again this morning was amazing!”
“Your afternoon session on anatomy was really interesting, as it's not something I have ever really researched before… [it was] amazing the way you could tell people’s bodies just by the way they stand.”
“The past weekend was very emotive: I found the group session at the hotel enlightening and voicing my paranoias did wonders for my confidence, thank you.”
“I took time to research this course with AFYT alongside others. Some offered the same qualification in a quicker time, however training over several months was invaluable as it provided time, in between the training days, to learn, practice and develop.”
"I was really impressed by the range of practitioners brought in to widen our experience of all aspects of yoga, like meditation, breathwork, Pranayama, anatomy and Ayurveda. It enriched the course so much and I learnt so much. I went through a lot of personal development and growth during the course, and I felt it in other students too. It was a wonderful experience to go through with the group.”
“I’m so happy I took the plunge with Bath Academy for yoga training. Something I’ve thought about doing for a while and wondering now why I left it so long!”
“If anyone is considering becoming a yoga teacher, then don’t hesitate to reach out to Diane Lee. It’s been an amazing experience; so supportive, so incredibly knowledgeable, and I’ve met people I’ll be friends with for the rest of my life.”
“I'm not sure how you do it - but you are a very special person Diane, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sincere warmth you show for each and every one of your students.”
“It's been such a beautiful journey and one I have really grown into and am better for it, thanks for everything you've done. I would love to stay in touch.”
“Thank you so much Diane for giving me this opportunity and guiding me on this new path I have taken. I am so very grateful and blessed to have you on my journey. I will most definitely be booking onto other workshops with you.”
“Thank you so much for what was a very unexpected journey for me. I have found the readings and study surrounding the yoga so interesting and your manual and online portal are inspirational.”
“I have genuinely found an inner peace and contentment that I didn't quite realise was missing until I found it!”
“It has been one of the best decisions I made choosing your course over other courses. I feel privileged to have been taught by you – such an experienced, talented, fun, open human. Thanks for this incredible journey, I’ll miss our weekends but as you say I am excited about the next unwritten chapter!”
“After meeting Diane, I knew the academy was the place for me to do my training. Diane was extremely supportive and knowledgeable and dispelled any anxieties I had around not being good enough to teach others Yoga.”
“Diane is a genuine, warm and caring person with an incredibly professional and in-depth course. She has an amazing ability to connect and engage with students and help them develop the skills to teach yoga but also to believe in themselves and what they need to succeed. Diane’s depth of knowledge… her feedback is always constructive, and both Diane and Kara offer so much support throughout the course and really are your cheerleaders!”
"The training has been like coming home! I have felt guided, supported and inspired every step of the way by Diane, and the other teachers I have been lucky enough to meet. I really wanted to deepen my knowledge of yoga; the wealth of information, from anatomy to history and spirituality, has been incredibly helpful and rewarding, including the introspective journey into my own personal practice."
“Diane is a great teacher - she is hugely knowledgeable on all aspects of yoga and beyond, but most of all she gives you great self belief and confidence in your journey. I would highly recommend this course to anyone - it was a privilege to be a taught by Diane.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience in this 200-hour online Hatha Yoga Teacher Training course. It exceeded my expectations, and I feel fully equipped to begin my teaching journey. The course offered the perfect balance of theory and practice, with strong support from instructors and a wonderful community of like-minded individuals.
I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to deepen their practice or become a certified yoga teacher, especially if you're looking for an online format.”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for your honesty and devotion to teaching - each weekend of the course you have such an effect on me and the rest of the group.
It's a very special thing. I leave feeling lighter, more content, better understood and in tune with myself. Thank you!”
“The whole experience was life changing on a physical and spiritual level, Diane and Kara were supportive and encouraging throughout embedding a feeling of trust.
The structure of the course was extremely comprehensive… the online portal was informative and maintained continuity of engagement due to deadlines. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend to anyone considering teacher training online.”
“Really appreciate the feedback and the support throughout everything. I am learning and enjoying a lot this beautiful journey that life is giving to me.”
“An amazing, professional, knowledgable teacher. Diane has an innate way to connect with all her trainees on a deeply personal and life changing way.
I would not hesitate to recommend Diane's course and I will miss our super charged weekends of learning, laughs and a few tears. Thanks Diane!”
"I really appreciated being given facts and science interwoven with the spiritual and emotional messages.
Julie was really open and honest with us, and really made me feel like I could ask her anything. I think having her involved has added a lot to the experience of my first weekend."
“I loved the whole thing. I was so nervous beforehand but felt so much positive energy and support from you and the lovely group. I am so happy I picked your course!!
Our day with Clare was fantastic. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone like her before, phenomenal lady and a total inspiration. I loved her style of teaching and her story telling. A great experience being taught by her and one I won’t forget.
I loved every second of it.”
“It was great to attend the different teachers sessions and try different classes and look at everyone’s differing teaching style. Clare was so enlightening and knowledge I found her so engaging and made me want to learn so much more. Julie was great to listen to how she started her teaching path and giving some advice and tips was really useful. Your afternoon session on the anatomy was really interesting… amazing the way you could tell peoples bodies just by the way they stand.”
“The past weekend was very emotive: I found the group session at the hotel enlightening and voicing my paranoias did wonders for my confidence, thank you. I feel very connected to everyone and I think it's important for us all to feel safe, so as not to be afraid to take risks and make mistakes. I also found the Yoga philosophy education very interesting.”
“I found the Ayurveda with Ariadna so very interesting and the links it has to Yoga… it was also really informative with the way it linked to Clare Allen’s elements.
The spiritual side was really good - I think I need to tap in a little more to my spiritual side, but feel that is more me letting myself go - which I know I need to do!
I have my first teaching class booked for next week!”
"The session this morning was amazing and I learnt so much and I feel really privileged to have been a part of it!
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be on the teaching course I can’t tell you how much I am loving it. It’s pushed me beyond my comfort zone and made me feel incredible."
“This course has been perfect for me. I wouldn’t have been able to do a 200hr course that focused on regimented poses. I have loved the emphasis on the importance of realising we’re all unique, and working within our own limitations. It’s been so inspirational. Thank you!
I can’t help thinking that out of all the courses out there I was drawn to yours, as if someone or something lead me there knowing it would be perfect for me.”
“I just wanted to thank you for a fabulous weekend of YTT. I loved your teaching style, the balance of the training, your warmth and welcome. What an incredible energy there was/is in group of women, you gathered together. I felt comfortable, visible and valued. I would join another of your trainings in a heartbeat if you would have me. You have given me the tools and the confidence to go forth and support / teach women during the menopause and to plan and deliver restorative classes/workshops. It was such a productive and worthwhile weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“I recently completed my Yoga Teacher Training and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The course was well-structured, comprehensive, and enriching on every level. Diane was exceptionally knowledgeable and truly inspiring. Her understanding of yoga went far beyond just teaching postures, they brought anatomy, philosophy, and self-development together in a way that felt both accessible and profound. The strong focus on anatomy has given me real confidence in understanding movement, sequencing safely, and adapting poses for different students. The philosophy teachings deepened my appreciation of yoga’s roots and how to teach authentically. Most importantly, the training encouraged genuine self-reflection and personal growth. I’ve grown not only as a teacher but as a person, and I now feel confident and excited to begin teaching. I’m truly grateful and would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their practice or teach yoga.”
"This yoga teacher training has been incredibly valuable, not just for learning poses, anatomy, and technique, but as a powerful tool for self-development and self-understanding. Diane is not only extremely knowledgeable, but her intuitive guidance and genuine support have been amazing throughout the journey. She teaches in a deep, thoughtful way with integrity and truth , always reminding us that the training is really just the beginning. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned and proud to say I’m already on my way to teaching. Its been an amazing experience and I’m so glad I did it. "
“I am exactly where I was always meant to be, and for that I thank you wholeheartedly for giving me the platform to follow my heart and grow as a teacher and a human being. The course has been delivered so beautifully and supportively. I will always have such strong gratitude to you Diane.”
“I am so happy and proud I have completed the course. I have been dreaming becoming a qualified yoga instructor for years, but there has always been something stopping me or holding me back. This course has taught me, that that something was me. It has been such an empowering experience. Thank you.”
“I would highly recommend the 200-hour online Hatha Yoga Teacher Training course. The content was comprehensive, the manual provided was detailed and easy to follow, and the course is accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals. The entire experience went above and beyond my expectations. Diane’s teaching style was welcoming, uplifting, and empowering. Her knowledge, experience, and deep anatomical understanding made me feel that I was in very safe hands throughout the training. Her support and encouragement have inspired me to share my newly found knowledge with others and to fulfil my lifelong ambition of becoming a yoga teacher.”
“Your wisdom, kindness, hospitality and generosity have changed us all more than you probably realise.
The workshops were amazing too.
Life truly will never be the same again. ”
"All I can say is what a massive impact you and the course has had on me over the last few months.
Thank you for your time and dedication and showing me a way of life that I had unconsciously been waiting for."
“I feel as if you were always meant to teach yoga. You have such an amazing knowledge. I am so glad you have been my yoga teacher.”
“Thank you for being the wonderful lady you are and for being such a beautiful, fun and quirky teacher. I’ll miss the course, but I hope to see you one day in the future when all beginners fears have left the room.”
