Yoga Masterminds is a year-round online 200 hour & 300 hour yoga teacher training school created by international yoga instructor and creative entrepreneur Andrew Abaria.
Through decades of study into the art of how people effectively learn, Andrew has masterfully created a suite of yoga courses designed to help YOU unlock your full potential to teach and practice yoga with the best in the world.
Yoga Masterminds courses differ from typical yoga trainings in three main ways:
Customized Timeline - Most yoga teacher training programs have strict dates for the start and end of a course. If you can’t commit to certain dates, you’re out of luck. All Yoga Masterminds courses are designed in a way that allows you to start and end any time within the calendar year. Get your certification in just 10 weeks or take you time and spend 10 months soaking in the content.
Online Curriculum - Why is it that the most ideal trainings are usually in a different city or even state?!? The online nature of Yoga Masterminds allows you to learn from the comfort of your own home without wasting hours of commuting time to and from the yoga studio.
World Class Education - Andrew is a legacy lululemon ambassador and has had 15 years of experience of teaching movement and mindfulness workshops all over the world. An Ivy League graduate, Andrew has extensively studied the phenomenon of learning and employs pedagogically sound principles to help students reach their ultimate potential.
Yoga masterminds 200 and 300 hour teacher trainings do not require text books or outside reference material. rather, yoga masterminds teaches that true knowledge is acquired through embodied cognition.
you cannot intellectualize yoga - you must experience it in your own body. it is only when you feel the concepts in your own body that you will truly understand yoga asana.

“To say I loved every second of Yoga Masterminds is an understatement.
There was no time wasted getting down to business. We were challenged from day one and I watched myself and 10 other students grow in confidence and ability. One thing that surprised me was how much this training has improved my personal life as well. For my fellow yoga teachers and aspiring ones, if you want to sharpen your knowledge, improve your sequencing, cut down on prep time, cue more efficiently, and essentially up your game, TAKE THIS TRAINING!
Andrew is the real deal. So incredibly smart, talented, skilled, and humble. One of the sweetest people you will meet. Thank you Andrew Abaria for a truly empowering and fun experience!”
“Andrew is an incredible teacher. I’ve been to numerous yoga trainings and have attended Yoga Journal Conference several times—and I have never had a teacher like Andrew before. In his class he breaks down the poses so that they make sense (yes, even the really difficult ones!)
In the past, I’ve kicked up to an inversion and“hoped for the best”. Andrew’s class is different: there’s no mystery or wishing— there’s just REAL practicing. On top of that he is smart, patient, kind, metaphorical and funny. He is up there with the real yoga gurus— What a gift!”
“The methodology of Yoga Masterminds is efficient, effective, and simply brilliant. Andrew’s teaching style evoked empowerment and critical reasoning. I wish I would have had Masterminds training years ago as Andrew definitely put many pieces of the yoga puzzle together for me.”
