Akasha Yoga Academy

The Yoga Teacher Training with Akasha was so much more than I've expacted. It really was a start to a different way of seeing and living life, to mindfulness. I've deepened my Yoga practice there, learned a lot about the tradition of Yoga, how to do Asanas safely and correctly, and also got the (self) assurance to share my practice with others. Furthermore, I learned a lot about me. Since then I feel much more balanced and have the impression that I focus more on what really matters.

Highly recommended! With Akasha you are in the best hands. Thank you so much for this experience.

I´ve been thinking for quite a while how I could describe my experience with the Akasha Academy adequately, without writing a novel. How to write about something, I have no words for.

Summarized in one sentence, I would say: There is truly no better way of spending your time, energy and money.

It´s been a few years now, since my first contact with the Akasha Academy and by now I can confidently say, that their teachings did not only save my life, they thought me to thrive in such a crazy world we live in. Speaking about the course itself, there is excellence on every level. The curriculum combines a super broad range of knowledge. Starting from ancient wisdom as a main source, transferring it to modern sciences, as well as down to earth approaches on how to implement the newly gained knowledge into daily life on and off the mat, always offering additional resources and information for further research.

The course is structured with a logical and balanced ratio of theory and practice and picks up every student exactly where they are.

Speaking about the teachers, I have hardly seen anything comparable in 12 years of school and 6 Semesters at University. The lectures are taught with such an incredible amount of passion and profession, that they always reminded me of these really good TED talks. Through this holistic approach, I gained so much of a broader understanding about how this world works in various aspects. So many different sciences/approaches, knowledge/wisdom, how everything is connected and how this vast theory can be applied, practiced and experienced from the microcosm of my own little ego bubble to the macrocosm of the entire world, which gives it so much value. This Matrix is mind-blowing and exceeds by far what you would expect to learn in preparation of becoming an Asana instructor. If I will ever have kids, I will send them to Kirsten and Burkard as soon as they are able to comprehend their teachings. Because in my eyes the content is THAT essential and the teaching qualities of the Akasha Academy THAT outstanding ;) I hope that this brief review could somehow give you a glimpse of an idea about the flavor of the Akasha Academy and from the bottom of my heard , no matter who you are, I can recommend you to simply go there and BE.

Akasha Yoga Academy is a real gem of a Yoga school! Fully recommended! I feel so happy I found it, and so grateful to Kirsten and Burkhard, and their friend and co-teacher Simona, who guided us so skillfully and so lovingly through a very intense, ambitious and really well-designed training. Akasha 200-TTC indeed provides, as its name says, a vast space. It's the space for learning about all key aspects of Yoga theory and practice, in a very systematic way. It is also a very nurturing space, for growing from an intention to become a Yoga Teacher to really becoming one -- slowly but surely, and with a feeling that you got a really good base to stand on, and a thirst for learning further forever. And the group I was in... That was so good and a very special thing on its own. So supportive and fun, I miss them all so much... As I am writing this, I feel so mellow and longing for another learning journey with the sweet Akasha team, and I can't wait to do so! Thank you, dear Ones!

I can honestly not say how much the experience together with Akasha means to me! How it changed me as a person for the better, and how it helped me open up to life. If anyone is looking into doing a yoga teacher training, or incorporating yoga and meditation into their lives, I recommend them deeply! They don't just teach their students, they genuinely care about each and every one on a deep level! During my training with them, I did for the very first time in my life manage to open my heart and feel unconditional love, not only for every single being on this planet, but for myself! I am forever grateful for being part of something with such a great meaning, and I would recommend Akasha Yoga Academy to anyone who are looking into taking their practice to another level.

After perusing the internet and yoga magazines for what seemed like forever, I was fortunate to find Akasha Yoga Academy via a google search for Hatha Yoga Teacher Training; incidentally which once I found, took me less than a week to register for their next training in Bali. I choose Bali purely and simply for the dates, as once I found my preferred course, I wanted it now, not later in the year.

Nothing or no one could have expressed to me in words the depth of this training and the profound impact it would have on my life. It was life changing for me and I know the other graduates would echo my sentiment, as it went way beyond our dreams.

Burkhard and Kirsten and the Akasha team guided each and everyone of the 20 trainees lovingly and deep into the sanctum of our very own heart of hearts; our core, our essence. We didn't learn how to become Hatha Yoga Instructors from the depth of knowledge and 200hours of practice and theory alone, Burkhard and Kirsten allowed each and everyone of us to dig deep and reveal to ourselves the teacher within. We peeled back layers and layers and the end result was beautiful to witness.

For this I will be eternally grateful. This course will set you up for life. If you feel the calling don't hold back.

Namaste
