The 200-Hour Journey

Built on three pillars — movement, breath, and understanding — this training gives you a complete foundation to teach confidently and authentically.

01

Asana & Alignment

Explore the full spectrum of postures with intelligent sequencing, anatomical foundations, and hands-on adjustment skills that keep students safe and growing.

02

Breathwork & Pranayama

From classical pranayama to modern breathwork science — learn how breath regulates the nervous system and discover how to guide students into profound states of awareness.

03

Teaching Methodology

Develop your unique voice as a teacher. Learn class sequencing, cueing language, adaptations for diverse bodies, and how to hold space with authority and compassion.

04

Anatomy & Physiology

Functional anatomy applied directly to yoga practice — understand how the body actually moves, where restrictions arise, and how to guide students out of them safely.

05

Yoga Philosophy

Ground your teaching in the living tradition. Study the Yoga Sutras, explore the eight limbs, and learn to weave timeless wisdom into contemporary, accessible classes.

06

Mentorship & Practice

Three months of personalised mentorship after your training. Teach real classes, receive feedback, and build the confidence to step into any studio in the world.

Move Breathe Academy community gathering

A Community That Keeps Growing

Your training doesn't end at graduation. You join a network of teachers — in Rijen and across the globe — who continue to practice, support, and challenge each other long after the programme ends.

Monthly community classes, an active online group, and continued access to our library of recorded sessions mean your development never plateaus. We are invested in your success as a teacher.

Meet the Founders

Two complementary practices. One deeply integrated training.

Patrick van der Pol, yoga teacher and breathwork specialist

Patrick van der Pol

Co-Founder & Breathwork Lead

Patrick still works as a professional firefighter, bringing a grounded, real-world discipline to his teaching. A lifelong martial artist, he specializes in the science of breath — combining Western breathwork with traditional yogic pranayama.

  • 500+ hours certified training
  • Firefighter & breathwork specialist
  • Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor
  • BSc. Civil Engineering
"Teaching the science behind the breath — and how to use it to work for you — both on and off the mat."

What Sets This Training Apart

Science-Backed Breathwork

We don't just teach traditional pranayama — we explain the physiology behind it. Students leave understanding exactly why and how breath transforms their nervous system and performance.

Holistic & Integrated

Movement, breath, nutrition awareness, and philosophy are woven together — not taught in isolation. The result is a more complete, confident, and compassionate teacher.

Intimate Small Groups

Groups are kept deliberately small so each student receives personal attention, genuine mentorship, and the space to develop their own authentic teaching voice.

"This training changed how I live, not just how I teach. The breathwork alone was worth every single hour. I came in as a student and left as a teacher — and I finally feel ready."

Sarah V. 200-Hour Graduate — Rijen
