Yoga & Pilates Package
Yoga and Pilates have become trend sports in recent years. Both focus on movement control and concentration, promote relaxation and have a positive effect on breathing, flexibility and physical strength.
Nevertheless, the two sports also differ fundamentally in their origins and development, the exercises and the spiritual aspect. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy and mysticism that originated around 5000 years ago. Pilates, on the other hand, is a modern western movement theory that was first developed in the 20th century by Joseph Pilates.
In this yoga & Pilates training package, consisting of the yoga teacher and Pilates instructor B license courses, you will learn everything you need to know about asana techniques in the yoga section and the Pilates training section will cover everything from basic exercises to advanced Pilates exercises so that you can perfectly instruct and coach your clients.
With our distance learning option, you remain independent in terms of time and location, so you can organize your learning time flexibly. Whether you want to study on a weekday or at the weekend, you can visit our online learning room at any time from anywhere.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training
Where do yoga teachers work?
As a yoga teacher, you have many options - the possibilities are almost endless.
A permanent position in a yoga studio, for example, gives you the most regular working day. However, if you prefer to be flexible, self-employment is an option, for example, as a private teacher in the form of home visits or in your own studio.
In a yoga retreat or spa in the countryside, there is a pleasant atmosphere because clients have usually planned a longer stay and are therefore fully engaged in the experience instead of being torn away from their everyday lives for an hour. However, this form of employment often involves relocating close to the workplace - in many wellness establishments, accommodation and meals are included in the permanent position.
A more adventurous variant of this is employment as a yoga teacher on cruise ships, where accommodation and meals are also included and you can get to know new countries and cities in your free time.
There is now also a demand for yoga classes in schools or kindergartens, so if you enjoy socializing with children, this may be a direction you can take after your yoga teacher training.
How much do yoga teachers earn per hour?
On average, a yoga teacher in permanent employment earns around €20 per hour, although it should be noted that in most cases you cannot practise for more than 27 hours per week. This is roughly equivalent to three 90-minute sessions per day, 6 days a week. In the long term, more hours per week are not compatible in terms of time and physical fitness. This results in a yoga teacher salary of around €2,340 gross per month.
However, if you become self-employed, you can of course determine the price yourself. For a group session, for example, you can charge €15 per person; with up to 15 participants, you can then charge €225 for a session. For individual lessons, you can expect to pay an average of €60 per hour. Of course, you will still have to pay room rent and advertising costs from your self-employed income and take care of the administration yourself.
What does a Pilates instructor do?
Pilates instructors create training programs for different target groups (e.g. children, seniors, beginners, advanced students). They advise their course participants on various exercises, demonstrate the exercises and help the course participants to perform them correctly.

Training theory
The first part of training theory teaches the basics of training, such as training principles, principles of training design, training methods and the factors of athletic performance.
As performance, performance diagnostics, training and competition are closely interrelated, they are also taught accordingly in the course.
In the second part of training theory, training is defined and evaluated as a complex action process and in connection with planning, execution and evaluation.
An important part of training theory is still the design of training plans, which is taught in practice with examples of the possibilities of designing a training plan.
In order to delve even deeper into training science, we have worked with top international speakers such as Prof. em. Dr. phil. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Weineck, we have also developed a video workshop on the subject of altitude training.

There are a variety of funding options for training 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 bodies.
How does the funding work?
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed 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.
Can I take educational leave for the course?
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.
How does educational leave work?
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
- Educational leave spread over 12 months
- Educational leave split up, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
- Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years
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.
Career afterwards - how to continue after training
Where do yoga teachers work?
As a yoga teacher, you have many options - the possibilities are almost endless.
A permanent position in a yoga studio, for example, gives you the most regular working day. However, if you prefer to be flexible, self-employment is an option, for example, as a private teacher in the form of home visits or in your own studio.
In a yoga retreat or spa in the countryside, there is a pleasant atmosphere because clients have usually planned a longer stay and are therefore fully engaged in the experience instead of being torn away from their everyday lives for an hour. However, this form of employment often involves relocating close to the workplace - in many wellness establishments, accommodation and meals are included in the permanent position.
A more adventurous variant of this is employment as a yoga teacher on cruise ships, where accommodation and meals are also included and you can get to know new countries and cities in your free time.
There is now also a demand for yoga classes in schools or kindergartens, so if you enjoy socializing with children, this may be a direction you can take after your yoga teacher training.
How much do yoga teachers earn per hour?
On average, a yoga teacher in permanent employment earns around €20 per hour, although it should be noted that in most cases you cannot practise for more than 27 hours per week. This is roughly equivalent to three 90-minute sessions per day, 6 days a week. In the long term, more hours per week are not compatible in terms of time and physical fitness. This results in a yoga teacher salary of around €2,340 gross per month.
However, if you become self-employed, you can of course determine the price yourself. For a group session, for example, you can charge €15 per person; with up to 15 participants, you can then charge €225 for a session. For individual lessons, you can expect to pay an average of €60 per hour. Of course, you will still have to pay room rent and advertising costs from your self-employed income and take care of the administration yourself.
What does a Pilates instructor do?
Pilates instructors create training programs for different target groups (e.g. children, seniors, beginners, advanced students). They advise their course participants on various exercises, demonstrate the exercises and help the course participants to perform them correctly.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
