The Udaya 200-hour is a hybrid training, meaning you can complete the course online as well as attend monthly weekend in-person sessions in the heart of the Winelands, Wellington, South Africa (about a 45 minute drive from Cape Town). This is optional and all classes will be streamed online to attend from anywhere in the world.

Classes online, live via Zoom, or available to catch up on the online platform. Our program goes beyond the three months we have together. You will have lifetime access to all online lectures, future 200hr trainings, yoga classes, a library of resources, and a community. Our online program maintains integrity in training, depth of learning, and personalised experience one should expect from studio-based teacher training. The Udaya 200-hr YTT includes guest lecturers, teaching a range of modules such as Anatomy, Somatic Movement, Philosophy, Prenatal yoga, Modifications, Accessible Yoga, and Inversions.

Whether you join to become a teacher or simply to deepen your own practice, the Udaya Yoga teacher training will uniquely prepare you to step into your practice with purpose, confidence, and a deep understanding of yoga.

Best decision

Doing the 200 YTT was one of the best decisions I've made. A truly transformational personal journey. I learnt so much, not only in terms of the content material, but everything in between. Cait's presence, energy, patience, understanding and empathy was incredible and created a safe space to explore the various aspects of yoga philosophy and one's own inward journey. This training is a platform for personal growth and I highly recommend anyone looking for something "more" (even if you don't yet know what it is) to do this. I am immensely grateful for the generosity, kindness and humility I've encountered (from Cait and the wonderful group of ladies who did the training with me) and just want to again say Thank You!

Life changing!

Cait not only lead us all on a magical journey of growth and expansion but she showed us what selflessness, compassion, unconditional love, and acceptance looks like. She is a beautiful Human being and Im immensely grateful for her boundless knowledge and guidance on this wonderful life changing yoga journey ♡

You cannot get a better teacher and space for your 200hr YTT

Cait is a profound and exceptional teacher, yogini and human. You cannot do better than to start or prolong your yoga journey with Cait. She is effective at leading you down the path in a kind and caring manner that allows you to be you and discover more about yourself without it being uncomfortable or heavy. I was lucky enough to start my Yoga Teacher Training in person with Cait and to be allowed to finish via Zoom. She is caring and considerate and aware that life happens and sometimes we need a break from ourselves and our further learning so that we can come back to it from a different perspective when needed. I am emotional writing this missive as for me the YTT 200hr journey has ended, sadly, but I know our paths will keep crossing in the future...300hr Advanced Teacher Training perhaps :-)

Now the teachings of yoga begin

This training is so much more than just yoga poses or learning how to teach, it includes such indispensable tools and knowledge to assist on this journey called life. Caitlyn, so passionate, thoughtful and understanding, has set out all the coursework in such a fun and intentional way that is extremely easy to follow along live or catchup anytime. Highly recommend for anyone looking to dive deeper into their practice and into themselves! Great support from the lecturers as well as the rest of the women (or men) attending, in the end we have become one big family. Thank you Cait, for bringing so many special people together and sharing your experiences with us.

Transformational journey!

So glad to have been part of this ytt, it has changed me inside and outside, I am forever changed. I had never done yoga before but this was doable for me as well. Cait willl guide you through it and you'll never regret.

Cait is a wonderful teacher and makes it as easy and relaxed as possible. I highly recommend this course to anyone, anywhere! What a journey! Love Love Love
-Vanessa T.
The most magical Yoga Teacher Training

It has truly been the most incredible 3 months and a journey of unlearning, learning, growing, crying, strength, laughing, sisterhood and yoga. Lots and lots of yoga. And Cait with her beautiful heart - holding space for us with such grace 🤍 It's been an absolute honour to have you as a teacher xxx

200hr YTT - best decision of my life

What an experience! Cait’s course structure is well laid out and flexible. The content is intuitive and life changing!! My yoga practice advanced substantially with all the morning flows and specific asana practices. Definitely couldn’t recommend this course more!! Do it!
