Part of the intensive are mentored Practice & Teaching Labs where you can refine your teaching under the guidance of an experienced mentor.

These sessions are designed as a safe space to experiment, practice your cues and receive supportive feedback, helping you gradually feel more confident standing in front of a class.

At the beginning of the training you will receive several manuals and a workbook to guide you through the program.

Alongside these materials, we share a list of required and recommended books that offer deeper insight into yoga philosophy, practice and teaching.

You do not need to read everything before the training begins. The books are meant to support your journey during the program.

You can find the complete reading list below.

This training is designed for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of Vinyasa yoga. Many participants feel the desire to eventually teach yoga, but this is not a requirement.

The training is also suitable for practitioners who wish to deepen their personal practice and gain a deeper understanding of what lies behind the postures. You will not only study asana, but also breath, sequencing, anatomy and the philosophical foundations of Vinyasa yoga.

The training invites you to better understand your body, refine your breath and move with greater awareness. Throughout the program there is also ample space for personal growth and self-inquiry.

No, you do not need to be an experienced yoga practitioner to join this training.

The program is accessible for both beginners and more experienced students. Throughout the training you will be gradually guided through the core principles of Vinyasa yoga, including asana, sequencing and breath.

Step by step you will develop not only technical skills, but also body awareness, focus and confidence in your practice.

Whether your intention is to teach yoga or simply to deepen your personal practice, this training offers an inspiring path to explore what Vinyasa yoga truly means.

After completing the training, you will be able to teach safe and conscious Vinyasa yoga classes and deepen your own personal practice.

You will learn how to structure an inspiring class, guide postures clearly and connect breath and movement in a natural way.

After graduation you will receive a certificate qualifying you as a 200-hour Vinyasa yoga teacher. This allows you to teach classes in yoga studios, gyms or within your own practice.

Many participants also join the training to deepen their personal practice. You will develop a deeper understanding of the body and discover how breath, awareness and flow come together in the practice.

In this training we go beyond yoga as a purely physical practice. You gain insight into how and why Vinyasa postures work, helping your practice become safer, more effective and more powerful.

You develop greater body awareness, learn to listen to what your body needs and build both strength and flexibility. At the same time, your confidence grows and you begin to discover your own voice and style; both as a practitioner and as a (future) teacher.

You will also explore the philosophical background of yoga, including texts such as the Yoga Sutras, allowing yoga to become something you can integrate into your everyday life. In this way, not only your understanding of Vinyasa yoga deepens, but your personal growth as well.

At the same time, you take this journey together with a group of like-minded people. Within this shared learning environment, a sense of recognition, inspiration and support often arises. You practice together, exchange experiences and grow. Each in your own way.

What makes this training unique is that personal growth is an important thread throughout the program. We believe that as a teacher you can only truly share what you have personally experienced.

That is why the training offers space for self-reflection, yoga philosophy and deepening your own practice.

The program is also one of the most complete Vinyasa teacher trainings available. You will study not only postures and sequencing, but also anatomy, breathwork, meditation and the philosophical background of yoga.

The training is guided by a team of experienced teachers who each bring their own expertise and years of teaching experience.

Because this is an intensive format, the learning process becomes very immersive. Practicing, studying and reflecting together every day allows the teachings to integrate deeply.

The difference between these trainings mainly lies in depth and purpose.

A 200-hour teacher training is a complete foundation training for becoming a yoga teacher. During this program you learn everything you need to understand, practice and teach Vinyasa yoga.

Shorter trainings, such as 10- or 50-hour courses, are usually specializations or advanced trainings for teachers who want to deepen their knowledge in a specific topic, such as sequencing, alignment or breathwork.

De Nieuwe Yogaschool also offers an online 100-hour Vinyasa yoga training (in Dutch), which focuses on the theoretical foundations of yoga, including philosophy, anatomy and meditation.

The online 100-hour Vinyasa Yoga Training and the 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training complement each other, but they offer a different learning experience.

In the online 100-hour Vinyasa training, you build a strong theoretical foundation. You learn about yoga philosophy, the postures (asanas), anatomy, meditation, subtle energy and the background of the practice. The lessons are followed online and at your own pace.

Please note that the online training is taught in Dutch.

For many people, this program is a beautiful first step to deepen their understanding of yoga or to explore whether becoming a yoga teacher might be the right path for them.

If you are already a yoga teacher in another style, the online training can also help you deepen your knowledge of Vinyasa yoga and integrate it more consciously into your classes.

After completing the online training, you will receive a certificate and can join Het Nieuwe Yoganetwerk.

The 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Amsterdam goes a step further. This is a complete teacher training in which you learn how to teach Vinyasa yoga. Alongside theory, there is a strong focus on practice: practicing together, learning how to create sequences, receiving feedback on your teaching skills and being guided by experienced teachers.

Step by step you develop the confidence and skills to guide your own classes.

At the end of the training you complete a practical teaching exam and a theory exam. After graduation you receive your certificate, which allows you to register as a Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher (RYT 200).

Not sure which training is right for you?

If you mainly want to deepen your knowledge and better understand yoga, the 100-hour online training can be a beautiful first step.

If you want to truly learn how to teach and develop yourself as a Vinyasa yoga teacher, the 200-hour in-person teacher training will likely be a better fit.

Personal growth plays an important role in this training. During the program you will receive several books as required reading.

You will give a short presentation about one of the books and write a personal reflection to deepen your understanding of the material.

Because this is an intensive training, most of the learning happens during the training days themselves. However, we encourage students to continue practicing, reflecting and integrating what they learn outside the training hours.

Because this is an intensive training, attendance is very important. However, you’re allowed to miss three days.

If you are unable to attend a day due to exceptional circumstances, we will look together at possible solutions, such as a catch-up assignment or attend through Zoom.
