“
Sheila Diez

“Enrolling in Island Yoga's 200-hour YTT was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Beyond deepening my personal practice, this training empowered me with the tools and confidence to share its benefits with others. I'm eternally grateful for this transformative experience and highly recommend Island Yoga's YTT to anyone seeking a profound and enriching yoga education.”

“
Matthew Zerafa

“Very rewarding experience, very well organised course and needless to say, exceptional teachers. Another big plus was the fact that we had access to all the studio's classes while enrolled in the course. I would give a 6 out of 5 star rating! This course gave me much more than I expected and made me respect yoga even more.”

“
Adele Tokareva

“Completing a 200 hour yoga teacher's training was definitely one of my biggest achievements of the year! It had been my dream for around 7 years and the part-time format made it finally come true. Rosita is not only an amazing teacher, but also an inspiring mentor, it was definitely on of those times when the teacher finds their student when the student is ready.”

“
Dora Marossy

“What an incredible experience! I discovered my love for Aerial Hoops during my 200hr teacher training at Island Yoga, and I have been eagerly waiting for an opportunity to get certified to teach since then. There is obviously the fun factor of hanging upside down the hoop and creating a multitude of gorgeous shapes within it, but one thing that blew me away is the sheer amount of strength one can build with a regular practice.”

“
Lola Wilkinson

“Thank you so much for this incredible course! I can't believe how much I learnt over these weeks, everything from anatomy, correct pose posture and technique, marketing and teaching skills. I am grateful for all the support for when I needed help or advice. I feel my learning can continue beyond this course, having been given the tools and knowledge to create more flows and classes for the future.”

“
Melis Ergin

“When I started taking Aerial Sling Yoga classes, I started to feel stronger with each lesson. I completed the course content by adding information on the poses I learned in the lessons. And all these strong and agile poses that I have learned, I can now teach other people. Because I am now an Aerial Sling Yoga teacher, thanks to Island Yoga.”

“
Sara Mellow

“Thank so much for this course. Cannot believe how much I learned and grew over the last weeks. Course exceeded my expectations: curriculum was extensive, teachers very knowledgeable and the atmosphere created was very welcoming. I feel ready to teach classes.”

frequently asked questions

How long is the course?

The Dynamic Reformer Pilates Certification is a 3-day intensive training. Prior to the course, non-Pilates teachers are required to complete an online anatomy module as an entry requirement. After the training, participants have one month to complete their required practice hours at the studio and apply for their final practical exam. The exam is included in the course fee.

Does everyone successfully graduate?

This course is subject to completed course work and assessment of the tests and final exams. Course certificates cannot be bought.

How will I be assessed?

Your participation, team work, completion of all the assignments during the course and teaching practice – requirements to complete this course.

How much does this course cost?

You can find all the pricing information below the FAQs, under ‘Your Investment’.

What is an online platform?

An online platform is a dedicated space where you’ll find all the additional course-related resources and theory materials to study at your own pace. It supports your learning before, during and after the training. You’ll retain access to the platform even after the course ends, allowing you to revisit and review materials anytime.

Is this course recognised internationally?

Yes. After completing the certification, you’ll be fully qualified to teach Dynamic Reformer Pilates classes at beginner and intermediate level. While this certification is designed to prepare you to teach internationally, it’s important to note that individual studios or employers in different countries may have their own specific requirements or onboarding processes for teachers.

What if I’m too old? Overweight? Not strong? Not flexible? Have an injury?

That’s exactly why you should join. Everyone starts somewhere, and there’s no “perfect” body, age, or personality for becoming a teacher. What matters most is your willingness to learn and grow. This course is designed to be supportive, inclusive, and empowering – no matter where you’re starting from. We’ll guide you every step of the way, helping you build confidence, strength, and the skills to share this practice with others.
