MyYoga Teacher Training
A Deep Dive into Bikram Yoga
200-hour Bikram Yoga Teacher Training
March 23 – April 7, 2027
D’Alijo Retreat Center, Portugal
A Deep Dive Into The Bikram Series
The MyYoga Teacher Training is an immersive 200-hour training centred on the classic Bikram Yoga sequence, also widely known as Hot 26+2.
It is designed for people who want to become confident, knowledgeable teachers—as well as dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the series and explore teaching it.
Over sixteen intensive days in Portugal, you will study the purpose and function of every posture, develop your teaching skills and learn how to communicate clearly to the people standing in front of you.
More Than Memorizing a Dialogue
A teaching dialogue provides an important structure, but learning words alone does not make someone a good teacher.
To teach well, you need to understand what you are asking people to do—and why.
During the MyYoga Teacher Training, you will learn to break down each posture into its essential components. You will examine the purpose of the postures, how they connect to one another and how different bodies may experience them.
You will learn to observe your students, recognise what is happening in the room and give clear, useful instructions in the present moment.
We provide a strong skeleton teaching script as a foundation. From there, you will learn to communicate naturally, develop your own authentic teaching voice and lead the complete 90-minute Bikram Yoga class with confidence.
Our goal is not to produce teachers who sound identical. It is to develop teachers who understand the practice, see their students and know what they are teaching.
Who Is This Training For?
This training may be right for you if:
You want to become a Bikram Yoga teacher
You already teach yoga and want to add the Bikram series to your teaching skills
You want to deepen your understanding of your own practice
You already teach bikram yoga and want a solid intense refresher course
You are curious about teaching but are not yet certain whether you want to pursue it professionally
You value clear, practical instruction and want to understand the reasoning behind the words
You are prepared to practise consistently, study and participate fully in an intensive residential program
You do not need to have the “perfect” practice or be able to perform every posture fully. You do need curiosity, commitment and a willingness to learn.
