Choose regular yoga classes if you want an ongoing practice. Choose a course or workshop to explore a specific topic. Choose teacher training if you want a connected study of practice, theory and teaching, and can make room for the commitment.

You do not need to start with the largest programme. The right format depends on your goal, your experience and the time you genuinely have available. Here is a short guide to Yoga Bible's offerings in Christianshavn.

Weekly classes: Build a regular practice

The schedule is the natural starting point if you want to experience the teaching or make yoga part of your week. Read the individual class description instead of choosing by time alone. Pace, experience and temperature can substantially affect whether the setting suits you.

If you are new to the studio, our first class guide covers practical questions about visiting Christianshavn.

Courses and workshops: Focus on one topic

A themed programme creates space to revisit a skill and ask questions along the way. Yoga Bible's portfolio includes inversions, splits and backbends. Check each page for format, prerequisites and current enrolment; an offering in the portfolio is not necessarily open for booking today.

A workshop may be a single focused session, while a course may span several meetings. Always use the actual description as your reference. Ask what you are expected to know beforehand and how different starting points are accommodated.

Private training: Make the goal specific

Private training and mentorship can help when you want a more individual focus. Prepare a simple description: What would you like to understand or work on? What have you already tried? What feedback are you missing?

Your goal does not have to be advanced. Getting help to choose variations or plan a realistic practice can be enough as a starting point.

Teacher training: Commit to broader study

A 200-hour programme involves more than attending additional yoga classes. You also work with theory, reflection and teaching. It may be relevant even if you are undecided about teaching professionally, but the admissions criteria and workload still apply.

Compare 4, 8 and 18 weeks by calendar and learning rhythm. Check the current programme pages before arranging leave or planning your budget.

Choose a format that lets you arrive prepared and return to what you learn.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a workshop before teacher training?

Not automatically. Check the programme's entry requirements. A workshop can help you experience a teaching approach, but does not replace a conversation about your preparation.

Does a short course qualify me as a yoga teacher?

Do not assume that a themed course is equivalent to a full teacher training. Ask exactly what its completion, documentation and purpose involve.

Can I combine several themed courses?

Explore the course bundles and individual course pages. Check current options and terms before choosing a combination.
