Training to teach in Greece lets you combine serious study with a setting by the sea, whether that is a small coastal village on the Ionian Sea, the island of Crete or Glyfada on the Athens Riviera. All eight courses on this page are yoga instructor programmes, ranging from a short specialist certification to a full month of in-depth training.
At the shorter end, you can complete a 7-day SUP Yoga Foundations certification on the Athens Riviera, or a 10-day, 100-hour intensive in Crete where your day begins before sunrise with kriyas and pranayama. For a full foundation qualification, there is a 23-day, 200-hour Yoga Alliance training in Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow by the Ionian Sea, and a 28-day, 200-hour Vinyasa-Hatha course in Glyfada. If you want to specialise further, you will find two 29-day, 300-hour yoga therapy and integrative medicine trainings, a 28-day yoga therapy course in Athens, and a 28-day advanced Hatha programme for teachers who already hold a 200-hour certification and have at least 70 hours of teaching experience.
These courses suit you whether you are working towards a 200-hour qualification, adding a specialist skill such as SUP yoga, or building a therapeutic focus on top of your existing teaching. Several are run by Yoga Skyros Academy, where Dietmar and Carmen Hellmann teach all courses themselves.
Prices start from 980 EUR and go up to 2800 EUR, with the Ionian Sea training listed from 2245 USD.
Courses on this page start from 980 EUR for the 7-day SUP Yoga Foundations certification on the Athens Riviera. The 300-hour yoga therapy and integrative medicine trainings are the highest priced, from 2800 EUR. The 200-hour Vinyasa and Ashtanga training by the Ionian Sea is listed from 2245 USD.
Lengths range from 7 to 29 days. The SUP yoga certification runs for 7 days and the 100-hour course in Crete for 10 days, while the 200-hour and 300-hour trainings run for between 23 and 29 days, with most lasting around four weeks.
You can choose from 100-hour, 200-hour and 300-hour trainings, as well as a SUP yoga foundations certification. The 200-hour training by the Ionian Sea is a full Yoga Alliance course, and the advanced Hatha programme in Athens is a 300-hour RYT programme.
It depends on the course. The 28-day Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Athens is designed for teachers who have already completed a 200-hour certification and have at least 70 hours of teaching experience, so check each listing's requirements before you book.
The courses on this page are spread across several locations: a small coastal village by the Ionian Sea, Crete, Athens and Glyfada on the Athens Riviera. One of the 300-hour yoga therapy trainings takes place on a Greek island.
The courses cover Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, Vinyasa-Hatha, traditional and advanced Hatha, SUP yoga and yoga therapy. The Glyfada 200-hour training approaches Vinyasa as a moving meditation that synchronises breath with movement.
This varies by programme. In Crete, you start with kriyas and pranayama before sunrise, move into a long asana practice, then spend the late morning on alignment. On the 28-day yoga therapy course in Athens, mornings begin with a 60-minute class led by a senior teacher and a debriefing, followed after breakfast by theory and philosophy, including Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and the basics of Ayurveda.
The 300-hour yoga therapy and integrative medicine training is structured around 12 therapeutic modules, each addressing a different body system or condition. You will work through areas such as back pain, joint disorders, digestive issues, cardiovascular and respiratory problems, and endocrine and immune system conditions.
