Who This Training Is For
This training is for you if yoga has become an important part of your life and you feel ready to take it further.
You may want to teach, or you may simply want to deepen your practice and understand yoga in a more meaningful way.
Designed for both aspiring teachers and committed students, this 9-month yoga teacher training blends practice, philosophy, anatomy, and teaching skills to help you build confidence, deepen your understanding, and experience yoga beyond the physical.
Built for Depth, Not Just Certification
This training is designed to give you more than a qualification. It provides the time, guidance, and structure to deepen your practice in a real and lasting way.
Across nine months, you will strengthen your relationship with the mat—moving beyond postures to develop a sturdier foundation in breath-led practice and a clearer clinical understanding of anatomy and philosophy.
You will not just leave knowing more. You will leave practising with greater depth, understanding the work more clearly, and feeling equipped to step into the next stage of your journey with confidence, care, and integrity.

By mastering clinical anatomy and the logic of intelligent sequencing, you will develop the unshakeable confidence to lead any room. You’ll leave with a clear, authentic voice, knowing exactly how to keep your students safe and inspired.
The nine-month integration period ensures your personal practice becomes a permanent pillar of your life. You won’t just leave with knowledge; you’ll leave with a non-negotiable daily rhythm that supports your nervous system through stress and change.

Learn from Teachers Who Live the Practice
At Unplugged, we believe yoga is a lived experience, not a performance. You will be guided by practitioners who have spent years refining their craft, navigating the depths of the work, and holding space for real transformation.
Michelle Freeman
As the lead facilitator, Michelle brings over two decades of clinical and traditional expertise to this program. Her teaching is defined by clarity, precision, and a deep respect for the lineage of yoga.
She doesn’t just teach postures; she teaches the logic of the body and the silence of the mind, providing you with a rigorous yet supportive foundation to step into your own authority as a practitioner.
Sonja Mapleston
Sonja is a registered Senior Teacher with over 20 years of personal practice. Her work is deeply grounded in the nervous system, supporting students and trainees to move with awareness, regulate stress, and reconnect with what matters.

Jasmine Klemm
Jasmine, the owner of Unplugged Yoga, maintains a studio space that serves as a refuge from the noise of modern life. Her role in this training is to bridge the gap between the ancient roots of the practice and the realities of modern teaching.

Everything you need to know about the Unplugged Yoga Teacher Training journey.
Unlike fast-tracked or purely fitness-based programmes, Unplugged Yoga offers a sanctuary for deep, embodied learning. We prioritise integrity, presence, and the logic of the body over performance. You aren’t just learning to teach; you are learning to unplug from the noise and lead from a place of genuine connection and stillness.
Yes. This is a fully Yoga Australia accredited course. Upon successful completion of the modules and final assessments, you will receive a recognised certification that meets the high standards of Australian yoga education. This allows you to register as a qualified teacher and secure professional insurance to teach in studios or corporate settings across Australia and internationally.
Many students join our Yoga Teacher Training to simply carry a deeper, more grounded relationship with yoga into their everyday lives. This programme is designed to support both aspiring teachers and dedicated practitioners who wish to refine their personal practice and self-inquiry without the pressure to turn it into a career.
The programme is delivered over 9 months to allow for steady integration. You will attend monthly in-person weekend immersions at our Ashgrove studio, supported by self-guided study and reflection between sessions. This rhythm ensures the learning unfolds naturally, allowing you to actually embody the teachings rather than just memorising them.
The Early Bird Special rewards early commitment with a significantly reduced tuition rate of $4,000 when paid in full. We also offer an Early Bird Payment Plan at $4,300, which still offers a $300 saving compared to our standard rates. This allows you to secure your spot in our limited-capacity intake while managing your investment.
