Welcome to Kaya Academy
We are the teacher training school hosted at Nin Yoga, specialising in Yoga and Pilates Teacher Training.
More Than Just Certification
At Kaya Academy, we believe that teacher training is more than anatomy and asana—it's about connection, courage, and community. Our in-person trainings are immersive experiences where you’ll be seen, supported, and inspired by real people on similar journeys.
You won’t just learn how to teach—you’ll find your voice, build lifelong friendships, and join a heart-led community that continues long after graduation. Whether it’s your first time stepping into a studio or your next step as a teacher, you’ll be held by mentors who care and peers who become chosen family.
This isn’t just training. It’s all about growth and your turn to flourish, with people who will walk beside you the whole way 🌻

"If you are thinking about doing yoga teacher training, I cannot recommend Nin Yoga highly enough. It is a heart centered yoga teacher training course, and Annika is the most amazing teacher you can ever have, as well as all the people she collaborates with. You will have the best time of your life. You will challenge yourself and you will find joy in all the little things. And I just cannot say how much you will love it. I highly recommend. "

Our Community Values
At Kaya Academy, we offer a rich blend of movement styles—from yoga to Pilates—but at the heart of everything we do are the timeless teachings of the Yamas and Niyamas.
You might be wondering, “What are Yamas and Niyamas?”
Think of them as the guiding principles of a meaningful yoga practice.
-
Yamas are ethical foundations—how we relate to the world around us.
-
Niyamas are inner commitments—how we care for ourselves and live with intention.
These teachings are woven through every training, every conversation, and every community moment at Kaya. They shape how we show up—for our students, for each other, and for ourselves.

Hear From Other Students

"I am not the traditional Instagram Yogi, and I feel that I would resonate more with people who don't find yoga easily accessible to them. Teacher training has been an incredible journey of self-discovery and being able to learn in such a safe space. Nin Yoga and the teachers who are a part of this journey are all professionals in their field. I suppose they are at the height of their yoga journey, but they are just incredible. Like they are willing to share a safe space. They all acknowledge you. I couldn't recommend it any more. "
