There are a variety of funding options for training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding body.
You can find an overview of the most important funding bodies here.
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed to you in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. WAFF). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.
After their training, yoga teachers take their first step into the professional world. The possibilities are very diverse. First and foremost, of course, it is about passing on what you have learned to others and helping beginners and advanced students to perform yoga correctly in all its forms. Through a wide variety of yoga exercises, physical movement and inner balance are brought into harmony. Yoga teachers have the opportunity to share their experience and love of yoga with others, both in private lessons and in group courses.
Yes, teaching yoga is not subject to a regulated trade and is therefore a free trade as long as it is taught to healthy people. However, the training is not only suitable as an independent training course, but also as a supplement to other services, for example as a fitness and personal trainer.
Yoga is becoming increasingly popular. As a result, the number of yoga studios, and therefore the demand for well-trained yoga teachers, is constantly increasing. But traditional fitness studios are also jumping on the yoga bandwagon and offering their members regular yoga sessions.
In addition to employment in countless institutions offering yoga classes, working independently is a great opportunity. Depending on preference, individual and group classes as well as long-term support can be offered. The demand for online coaching should not be underestimated. Many people do not want to leave their own four walls for their yoga classes, but still want exclusive support from a qualified yoga teacher.
The question for yoga teachers is therefore not so much where they can find work after their training, but rather where not?
Yoga Alliance is not a mandatory organization or certification body for yoga teachers or yoga schools. This means that there is no legal obligation to be certified by Yoga Alliance in order to teach yoga or run a yoga school. The decision whether or not to be certified by Yoga Alliance is up to the individual teachers and schools.
Yoga Alliance offers a voluntary certification that serves as a benchmark for quality and professional standards in the yoga industry.
However, it is important to note that there are also many qualified and experienced yoga teachers who are not certified by Yoga Alliance. The decision whether or not to seek certification depends on the individual goals and needs of teachers and schools.
Our training facility is ISO 9001 certified. The fitness and health sector is basically a free trade, which means that there are no set standards for the content, course of training and examinations. However, we place the highest value on quality and comprehensive training to ensure that our graduates receive the best possible training.
Our yoga teacher training is designed to be accessible to all, regardless of your previous yoga experience. No special prior training is required as we design the training from the ground up. The program already includes the basic training, including the sports competence module and the yoga teacher B license. You can jump straight into the Yoga Teacher Diploma/A-License training and start your journey to becoming a certified yoga teacher.
If you have already completed a training course with us and you decide to take another course, the sports competence module will be credited to you.
If you are studying at a university, individual subjects can occasionally be credited. For example, in the case of medical training, experience can often be used to recognize subjects such as anatomy and physiology. If your training is from another adult education provider (such as Online Trainer License, Vital Academy, etc.), an individual assessment is required to determine if credit is possible.
We want to make it easier for you to invest in your future and therefore offer the convenient option of paying in installments. The Yoga Teacher Training Diploma/A-License can easily be paid in monthly installments, without additional interest.
If you are interested in an individual payment plan , please do not hesitate to contact our Flexyfit team directly. We will be happy to help you find a solution that best suits your needs. Invest in your future and start your journey to becoming a yoga teacher today!

There are a variety of funding options for training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding body.
You can find an overview of the most important funding bodies here.
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed to you in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. WAFF). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.
After their training, yoga teachers take their first step into the professional world. The possibilities are very diverse. First and foremost, of course, it is about passing on what you have learned to others and helping beginners and advanced students to perform yoga correctly in all its forms. Through a wide variety of yoga exercises, physical movement and inner balance are brought into harmony. Yoga teachers have the opportunity to share their experience and love of yoga with others, both in private lessons and in group courses.
Yes, teaching yoga is not subject to a regulated trade and is therefore a free trade as long as it is taught to healthy people. However, the training is not only suitable as an independent training course, but also as a supplement to other services, for example as a fitness and personal trainer.
Yoga is becoming increasingly popular. As a result, the number of yoga studios, and therefore the demand for well-trained yoga teachers, is constantly increasing. But traditional fitness studios are also jumping on the yoga bandwagon and offering their members regular yoga sessions.
In addition to employment in countless institutions offering yoga classes, working independently is a great opportunity. Depending on preference, individual and group classes as well as long-term support can be offered. The demand for online coaching should not be underestimated. Many people do not want to leave their own four walls for their yoga classes, but still want exclusive support from a qualified yoga teacher.
The question for yoga teachers is therefore not so much where they can find work after their training, but rather where not?
Yoga Alliance is not a mandatory organization or certification body for yoga teachers or yoga schools. This means that there is no legal obligation to be certified by Yoga Alliance in order to teach yoga or run a yoga school. The decision whether or not to be certified by Yoga Alliance is up to the individual teachers and schools.
Yoga Alliance offers a voluntary certification that serves as a benchmark for quality and professional standards in the yoga industry.
However, it is important to note that there are also many qualified and experienced yoga teachers who are not certified by Yoga Alliance. The decision whether or not to seek certification depends on the individual goals and needs of teachers and schools.
Our training facility is ISO 9001 certified. The fitness and health sector is basically a free trade, which means that there are no set standards for the content, course of training and examinations. However, we place the highest value on quality and comprehensive training to ensure that our graduates receive the best possible training.
Our yoga teacher training is designed to be accessible to all, regardless of your previous yoga experience. No special prior training is required as we design the training from the ground up. The program already includes the basic training, including the sports competence module and the yoga teacher B license. You can jump straight into the Yoga Teacher Diploma/A-License training and start your journey to becoming a certified yoga teacher.
If you have already completed a training course with us and you decide to take another course, the sports competence module will be credited to you.
If you are studying at a university, individual subjects can occasionally be credited. For example, in the case of medical training, experience can often be used to recognize subjects such as anatomy and physiology. If your training is from another adult education provider (such as Online Trainer License, Vital Academy, etc.), an individual assessment is required to determine if credit is possible.
We want to make it easier for you to invest in your future and therefore offer the convenient option of paying in installments. The Yoga Teacher Training Diploma/A-License can easily be paid in monthly installments, without additional interest.
If you are interested in an individual payment plan , please do not hesitate to contact our Flexyfit team directly. We will be happy to help you find a solution that best suits your needs. Invest in your future and start your journey to becoming a yoga teacher today!
