About Kaya Academy

Rooted in Authenticity.

Kaya Academy was born from the heart of Nin Yoga, a community-based studio in Western Sydney built on the belief that meditation and movement is for every body and every story. Since opening our doors, we've welcomed thousands of students into movement, stillness, connection, and growth.

But something kept calling us deeper—a desire to create space for more teachers, modalities, and lives to cross paths and collaborate with.

That’s how Kaya Academy came to life.

Kind Words From Our Graduates

"Hi, I'm Nivi, officially the youngest yoga teacher in Australia. I am so grateful that Nin Yoga and Annika for taking a chance and putting thier trust in me. My journey with Yoga started when I was eight years old, sneaking into the back of my parents' yoga classes and trying to move my body into the same shapes, and I fell in love immediately.

When I realised that I could be the one sharing this knowledge and love with everybody else, I was so excited and I started to look for a place that could do my teacher training. I am so happy Annika took a chance on me, even though no one has done this before; no one has ever taught a minor to be a yoga teacher.

This journey has been incredible. The last 6 months have been the most pivotal 6 months of my life. I am so excited about what the future holds."

A Community That Continues

We don’t believe in transactional trainings. At Kaya, we build communities—spaces where lifelong friendships are formed, ideas are shared, and support continues well beyond your final assessment.

Our programs are held predominantly in person or via Zoom Live-stream for a reason: because real growth happens in relationships. You’ll be held by experienced mentors, surrounded by peers, and guided through the discomfort and the magic of personal transformation.

Graduates of Kaya Academy are part of a movement that’s bigger than a certificate. You're part of a ripple effect of conscious teaching and connected living.

Hear From Our Students

"Hi, I'm Michelle, and I enrolled in the 200-hour yoga teacher training last year. I've always loved yoga. Its always been something that i turn to. It's a beautiful practice. And then last year I deepened my practice, leading me to Nin Yogas Teacher Training.

Now I understand more about all aspects of yoga. Now I know why I love it so much. It's brought me to a deeper understanding of myself, asana, pranayama, and philosophy. Thank you to all the different teachers who make this possible."

We’re here to redefine what teacher training can be—accessible, grounded, creative, and deeply human. As Kaya continues to grow, our commitment is to stay aligned with our purpose:
To train empowered, embodied, inclusive leaders in movement and mindfulness—locally and globally.
