“I have truly enjoyed every part of my training journey with 1000 Petaled Lotus Yoga Academy. I cherish and deeply appreciate all the knowledge, wisdom, and experience that we received throughout the course.

I feel incredibly grateful that I found this beautiful studio and had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Kasi and the entire team . Their dedication, kindness, knowledge, and passion for yoga made this training such a meaningful experience for me. Every day brought something new — beautiful practices, deeper understanding, valuable teachings, and opportunities to connect not only with yoga, but also with myself. The knowledge they shared has given me a much stronger foundation and has inspired me to continue growing on my own yoga journey. I am especially grateful for the support and encouragement we received throughout the entire course. Whenever I had questions or needed guidance, I felt supported and welcomed. It made the whole learning experience feel personal, safe, and truly special. This training was much more than simply learning how to teach yoga. It was a journey of self-discovery, discipline, connection, and personal growth. I leave the course with so much gratitude in my heart and with knowledge that I know I will carry with me for many years to come. Thank you, Dr. Kasi and Madam Rachita, for sharing your knowledge, your energy, and your love for yoga with us. I am truly grateful to have been part of this journey and to have found such a beautiful yoga family. With love and gratitude. 🪷🤍”

What stood out most was the depth of knowledge, professionalism, patience, and genuine passion for yoga. Every session was thoughtfully delivered, combining strong technical guidance with a deeper understanding of yoga, its philosophy, alignment, breath, and mindful practice. What I appreciated most was the ability to create a supportive learning environment where we were encouraged to ask questions, challenge ourselves, and grow with confidence. The guidance and constructive feedback helped me develop not only as a yoga practitioner, but also as a future teacher. I am genuinely grateful for the knowledge, discipline, inspiration, and confidence I gained throughout the training. I would highly recommend this teacher to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and inspiring yoga educator. Thank you for being such an important part of my yoga journey. 🙏🧘‍♂️✨”

The way of sharing this information is very accessible and interesting. In the first line I learned a lot for myself as a yoga practitioner and secondary the school gave an excellent base to start teaching.

Their guidance felt like a warm blanket. And although they prepared us for this moment, I wished the course never ended. It truly changed my life and the team will forever be in my heart. Will definitely be joining another TTC with them soon.”

Questions

RYT 200 FAQ

How much does the RYT 200 cost in Dubai?

The weekday and weekend batches are AED 9,500, and the Hybrid is AED 10,500 early-bird. Everything is included: manual, materials, exam and certification, with 4 interest-free payments available.

How do I become a certified yoga instructor in Dubai?

Complete a 200-hour course at a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School, register as an RYT 200, and register with REPs UAE to teach in UAE gyms and studios. Our step-by-step guide to yoga certification in Dubai explains each stage.

Am I 'advanced' enough to take this course?

Yes, if you have a regular practice and a sincere wish to learn. The training suits beginners with some experience through to intermediate students. You don't need a handstand or deep backbends; commitment matters far more.

What will I be qualified to teach?

Hatha yoga is the core, and you also learn to teach Vinyasa, Power Yoga, pranayama and meditation. Graduates can lead alignment-based Hatha classes, flowing Vinyasa classes and calming breath and meditation sessions.

Is the certificate recognised internationally?

Yes. Thousand Petaled Lotus is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200 and RYS 300). When you graduate you can register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200, the most widely recognised credential for yoga teachers worldwide.

What is included in the fee?

Your course manual, all learning materials, the final exam and certification fees. You can split the early-bird price into 4 interest-free monthly payments with Tabby (4 × AED 2,375), or pay by card or bank transfer.

What is the free specialty certification?

Every RYT 200 student gets a complete, standalone Yin Yoga or Meditation certification (worth AED 3,500), not a taster. You choose one at enrolment and it starts shortly after your RYT 200 graduation.

Is the course valid for REPs UAE registration?

Yes. Thousand Petaled Lotus is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School and a REPs UAE registered training provider, so graduates can register in the UAE and internationally.

Which format should I choose?

The weekday batch (Mon–Thu 9:30 am–1 pm, Fri 9:30–11:30 am) suits people with free mornings. The weekend batch (Sat & Sun 10 am–5 pm) suits working professionals. The Hybrid suits cabin crew and anyone with a changing schedule: you start when it suits you and choose your days each week.

What if I miss a session?

We offer structured catch-up: missed modules can be completed on our digital platform, in a parallel weekday or weekend batch, or redone in a later batch, so you still complete the full 200 hours.

How much study is there outside class?

Plan for some reading, written assignments and your own daily practice between sessions. These non-contact hours are part of the 200-hour programme.

What happens after I graduate?

You join our alumni community with ongoing mentoring. Graduates teach in studios, gyms and wellness centres in Dubai and abroad, take private clients and run workshops; the course includes the business side of teaching.

Can I try before I commit?

Yes. Sit in on a live teacher-training module for free, meet Dr. Kasi and ask everything in person. You can also start with our free 10-hour Yoga Foundation course.
