Double Your Income Without Doubling Your Classes
Most yoga teachers hit an income ceiling - not a skill ceiling. This training includes two full modules most 300-hour courses skip entirely: The Business of Yoga and Building a Brand as a Yoga Teacher. The exact skills that let you earn more without teaching more hours.
In these modules, you'll learn how to build income that doesn't depend on filling every hour of your timetable. You can only teach so many classes and workshops before you lose heart and your income shouldn't have to stop where your energy does.
I'll personally help you identify the unique selling point you can monetise, so you finally earn the income your passion for yoga deserves
Growing your brand and making more money from what you do shouldn't drain you. Having the right skills and knowing how to brand your service is often the only thing standing between you and doubling your yoga income.
In this course, I'll lay out every tool I've personally used, so you see real growth in your income, not just in how many classes you teach, day by day, month by month.

This training is for you if:
You're already a qualified yoga teacher and you know your practice, but you want to teach with the kind of authority that comes from understanding why a pose works, not just how to cue it.
You want to go beyond your original 200-hour training and build a technical, biomechanics-based foundation you can draw on with any student, in any style, in the moment.
You're ready to turn your teaching into a bigger part of your income - workshops, advanced classes, mentoring, or your own future trainings - but you don't yet have the depth of knowledge or confidence to charge and teach at that level.
You've stepped back from teaching for a while and want a structured way back in that leaves you more capable than when you stopped, not just re-certified.
This training isn't for you if:
You're not yet a qualified yoga teacher — this is an advanced 300-hour training and assumes an existing qualification.
You want a rigid, single-style curriculum — this training is deliberately lineage-agnostic and won't hand you a fixed "one right way."
You want a purely passive credential. There's no final exam, but there is real coursework, essays and assignments throughout — you get out what you put in.

Let's Talk First
We've trained teachers from every lineage and every stage of their teaching journey. If you're not sure this is the right fit, WhatsApp Zahir below (the green button) or email us at info@akramyoga.co.uk before you book and we'll talk it through. We'd rather you join because it's right, not because of a sales page 🙏🏽.
In-house and in-person, taught directly by our expert faculty. We deliberately cap each cohort at 12 trainees so you get real, individual attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be teaching right now to join?
No. In fact, this training might be exactly what gets you back to teaching. We've had students who hadn't taught in years use it as their route back in. You don't need to be actively teaching to join the training.
?
What if I miss a weekend?
There's catch-up material online, plus a reflections log built into the homework to help you stay on track. Life happens (work, kids, whatever it is) and we treat you as the adult who wants to learn that you are. You catch up in your own time, no drama.
?
Is there an assessment?
No. You're already a qualified teacher, so there's no teaching assessment. Instead there are short quizzes, weekend reflections, and essays throughout to help consolidate what you're learning.

"The team are just next level. Each one of them (Laura, Zahir & Paul) are unique, which makes you feel so comfortable in just being yourself. My heart is so full of gratitude" - Sally, GP & Yoga Teacher
What if the very doubts holding you back, not feeling experienced enough, not knowing how to turn your passion into a real income, not feeling 'ready' to be seen as an expert, are the exact reasons you're meant to do this training?
What's Actually Inside the Training
14 modules covering the science, philosophy, business and teaching skill most 300-hour courses skip - here's the full breakdown.
Yoga Philosophy
Most teacher trainings give you a fragment of yoga philosophy. A few sutras, a translated verse, and that's it. This module gives you the rest. We trace yoga back to its earliest roots through the Tantric traditions and Kashmir Shaivism, into the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, the text holding 112 meditative techniques that predate almost everything you've already been taught. You'll explore Devi, the feminine principle at the heart of so much of this tradition, and see how modern neuroscience is only now catching up with what these texts described centuries ago. By the end, the philosophy you teach in your own classes will come from a genuinely deeper place.
Why This Course is DIFFERENT from the Rest:
"This course is different because it challenges conventional yoga wisdom. You don't invest in training and just have your thoughts and ideologies reaffirmed. You invest so someone can show you the landscape of yoga from a completely unique perspective. Unique in the anatomy, the breathing, the tradition, and how YOU as a teacher can take this knowledge and earn a real living. There is no dogma in this training, just a completely new and unique perspective on everything you thought you knew about yoga".

Meet the Faculty
You won’t just be taught. You’ll be mentored by a faculty who live and breathe yoga - blending science, tradition, and teaching experience to guide you every step of the way.
THE ORACLE -
Laura Akram
Laura is an advanced yoga teacher and a qualified Yoga Therapist, with deep roots in both physical practice and education. Her standout passion is exploring the nervous system and helping others understand the subtle magic that happens behind the scenes in yoga. She believes that even a basic grasp of these inner workings can transform how we experience the practice.
Students often refer to Laura as the “Oracle” not only because of her depth of knowledge, but also because of her nurturing, grounded presence. She brings a rich tapestry of yoga wisdom and is known for the kind of guidance that makes everyone feel seen, safe, and inspired.
Many current trainees affectionately call her “the mother of the group” for her care, compassion, and unshakable belief in her students.
THE WISE OWL -
Paul Allen
With over 20 years of experience, Paul has studied a wide range of styles - from Ashtanga and Iyengar to Jivamukti, Baptiste, and Yin Yoga. His journey has led him to blend elements of all these traditions into a powerful, practical teaching style.
Paul is known as “the wise owl” of the team, and a true mentor to many. During the course, he co-leads the in-person practice labs and helps guide trainees through our signature 84-pose manual. His focus is on helping you understand why a pose works not just how to do it.
Paul’s yoga mantra is:
“Listen to the body, practice accordingly, and then pass on the magic.” ✨
THE GUIDE -
Zahir Akram
Zahir has been teaching for nearly 25 years and brings a unique fusion of ancient yoga philosophy and modern science to the course. He has a gift for making complex ideas feel simple and grounded that help students feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
In 2024, Zahir was voted Favourite Yoga Teacher by Om Yoga Magazine for his work in teacher training. He’s also the author of Yoga: Madness or Meditation? - a course reading list title and has previously been named one of the Top 10 Male Yoga Teachers to Know About.
Zahir’s teaching is curious, inclusive, and grounded in real-world experience. Whether he’s sharing biomechanics, philosophy, or parenting metaphors, his goal is always the same: to help you become a teacher who leads with both clarity and compassion.

Zahir's Philosophy ↓
Becoming a yoga teacher is all about staying open - open to new ideas, different interpretations, and deeper self-understanding. This course doesn’t impose a rigid, one-size-fits-all way of doing things. After all, that would be the most un-yogic way to learn! The true Yogic path, if we trace it back to the wisdom of the first yogis, invites us to be willing: willing to explore, with a clear mind and an open heart.
I strive to guide you toward this path, helping you see that knowledge is borrowed. It flows from one teacher to another. But wisdom? Wisdom is different. Wisdom comes from within, from your organic understanding of a concept that aligns with who you are. My goal is to help you develop this kind of wisdom, so your teaching resonates deeply with your authentic self.
This training isn’t about what’s right or wrong. It’s about exploring what we know, interpreting that knowledge thoughtfully, and using it to keep our students safe and to continue growing, both as yoga teachers and human beings.
As Swami Vivekananda said, “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
Yoga isn’t about searching for absolute truths or hard facts; it’s about finding what feels true and right for you.
