Are you ready to take yourself and your students to the next level?
Are you ready to deepen your practice, refine your teaching, and continue walking the path of yoga with greater clarity, sensitivity, and wisdom?
This 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training is designed for certified yoga teachers who wish to move beyond the foundations of teaching and develop a more nuanced, embodied, and responsive approach.
Building on the 200-hour foundation, this program invites teachers into deeper exploration of the body, the art of teaching, and the inner dimensions of yoga.
Rather than collecting techniques, this training is an invitation to refine perception:
To see more clearly.
To touch more consciously.
To teach with greater intelligence.
To embody the practice you share.
Yoga is not something to complete or master. It is a lifelong relationship.
This advanced training can be completed as a full 300-hour journey or as three individual 100-hour modules. Each module stands independently while together they form a complete advanced pathway toward a 300-hour certification.
The Journey
Module I — The Embodied Teacher
15 October 2026 – 18 March 2027
The Art of Touch, Fascia, Anatomy & Nervous System-Informed Teaching
100 Hours
The teacher’s greatest instrument is their own embodied awareness.
This module explores the human body as a living, intelligent system and develops the skills needed to support students through conscious observation, intelligent touch, and embodied guidance.
You will explore:
- Functional anatomy for yoga teachers
- Fascia and connective tissue
- Movement patterns and joint mechanics
- Embodied alignment
- The art of touch in asana
- Hands-on assists across all major asana families
- Consent and ethical touch
- Seeing bodies beyond ideal alignment
- Nervous system regulation
- Somatic awareness
- Trauma-informed teaching principles
- Restorative yoga
- Breath and regulation
- Creating safe and supportive spaces
This module is not about “fixing” bodies.
It is about learning to listen.
The question changes from:
“How do I adjust someone into a shape?”
to:
“How do I meet this person and support their experience?”
Module II — The Intelligent Teacher
April-July 2027
Sequencing, Methodology & Advanced Teaching Skills
100 Hours
Great teaching is both art and craft.

You will explore:
- Advanced sequencing principles

The focus is not simply creating beautiful sequences.
It is learning how to create intelligent experiences.
Module III — The Integrated Teacher
October 2027- Feb 2028
Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation & the Inner Path
100 Hours
The deeper journey of yoga is the integration of practice and life.
This module explores the philosophical, energetic, and contemplative dimensions of yoga, allowing teachers to deepen their personal practice and teach from a place of authenticity.
You will explore:
- Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
- Hatha Yoga Pradipika

- Nāḍīs
- Koshas
- Personal sadhana

The advanced teacher is not someone who knows everything.
It is someone who continues to practice, question, listen, and evolve.

Studio Naim runs two separate Vinyasa teacher trainings with Nieke Franken. The 200-hour training is the foundation, where you build your personal practice, learn to sequence and cue safely and earn your first internationally recognized teaching certificate; no prior teaching experience is required. This 300-hour training is the advanced level, open to teachers who already hold a 200-hour certification. It goes deeper into refinement, subtle-body and energetic work, advanced anatomy and the art of holding space. Together the two trainings add up to a full 500-hour qualification.
All classes, readings and materials are taught in English by Nieke. You do not need to be a native speaker; a comfortable conversational level is enough, and Hebrew-speaking students are very welcome. Practicums and written homework can be submitted in Hebrew, and the group is usually a warm mix of English and Hebrew speakers.
The training is held at Studio Naim in Florentine, central Tel Aviv (HaRav Frenkel 30), and is taught entirely in English by Nieke Franken. It is recognized by Yoga Alliance, so the certification is valid for teaching yoga in Israel and worldwide. The location is easy to reach and welcoming to Tel Aviv's international and English-speaking community.
Nieke Franken's Vinyasa training blends traditional yoga wisdom with modern movement science, somatics and personal development rather than teaching a single fixed style. The focus is on helping you find your own authentic voice as a teacher through creative, intelligent sequencing, embodied cueing and the confidence to lead your own classes in Israel or anywhere in the world. It is an intimate group taught in English by an internationally experienced teacher, with as much attention to personal transformation as to technique. More about Nieke: www.niekefranken.com.
On successful completion you receive an official certificate from Studio Naim together with Yoga Alliance recognition (RYT 300), allowing you to teach yoga in Israel and internationally.
If you cancel up to two weeks before the course starts you receive a full refund, excluding the registration fee. Cancellation is also possible until the end of the first month, in which case two-thirds of the price is refunded; there is no refund after that. The course opens with a minimum number of participants, and the studio reserves the right to postpone, cancel or change the course location if needed.
