“As a dancer and choreographer, I’ve had the chance to work with great teachers throughout my career, and I consider Kia to be one of those rare masters whose work nourishes you for life. Kia is a remarkable teacher, artist and human being.”
ASHTANGA YOGA & PRANAYAMA IN-DEPTH DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
for teachers & established practitioners (175hrs) with KIA NADDERMIER
Including Anatomy, Bio-mechanics & Physiology in Yoga with
PAULA RIOS FERNANDEZ MD PhD
NEW EXPANDED FORMAT – Starting November 2025!
Following the success of our previous trainings, Kia will offer a 175-hour In-Depth Development Training for 2025/26 – combining three in-person modules with two online sessions..
Whether a devoted practitioner or teacher, this training offers a rich opportunity to deepen and share your practice with others, expanding your understanding of the many layers of yoga.
The curriculum weaves together:
An embodied, non-dogmatic approach to Ashtanga Yoga & Mysore Practice
The Art of Hands-on Adjustments & Asana Inquiry
Teaching Principles, Awareness & Observation Skills
Postural Analysis, Anatomy, Physiology & Biomechanics (with Paula Rios Fernandez)
Pranayama, Kriyas & Bandhas in the lineage of Kaivalyadham
Traditional Buddhist Meditation
Dharma Teachings, Yoga Philosophy – and much more.
This training is designed for practitioners and teachers eager to delve into the deeper unfoldings of yoga – using their practice as a gateway to physical and subtle realms of experience, energetic movement, and the quiet blossoming of inner awareness. It embraces yoga as an integrated path – one that reflects the interdependence of our inner and outer worlds.
Whether exploring Asana, Pranayama, Buddhist Meditation or studying traditional texts, we work from a non-dogmatic, inclusive and creative place, open for personal inquiry. Again and again we return to the wisdom of our body, the pathways of our breath and the generosity of our heart. From this place of embodied experience we are able to grow and share our practice with clarity, insight and compassion.

“Kia places tremendous care into every single detail of practice and radiates so much warmth towards her students. By the end of the IDT, my notebook, body, and heart are full of precious teaching seeds — material to nurture for a long time ahead.”
Kia’s devotion to both Yogic and Buddhist traditions informs the heart of this training. We immerse into these somatic practices and teachings to cultivate an understanding of yoga as a portal to wholeness, wisdom and compassion.
Paula’s vivid teachings further expands this process, grounding us firmly in the living intelligence of anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, and postural awareness.
This multifaceted journey empowers each practitioner to develop transformative skills and embodied resources to help grow their practice and teaching from a place of deep authenticity, inner confidence and clear understanding. It is an approach that yields exceptional rewards as it moves each practitioner towards self-reliance, self-compassion and self-realisation.
The IDT provides ongoing support and inspiration for your personal and professional development. Its content is evolved and renewed with each cycle, making it deeply enriching also for those who have attended past trainings. This method of learning mirrors the practice itself – a circular process of refinement, rather than a linear or finite training.
The training nurtures an international, vibrant and diverse community of practitioners who share insights and grow together. While many participants are teachers, we intentionally cultivate a balanced group with varied backgrounds and interests. We warmly welcome dedicated practitioners from all walks of life.
NEW Expanded Hybrid Format To ease travel our training follows a hybrid format. Alongside three 6-day, in-person modules in Paris, we will gather for two 2-day online sessions –bridging the space between our physical meetings.
Module 1: Paris, November 14-19 2025 (6 days)
Online Session 1: January 10-11 2026 (2 days)

Online Session 2: September 26-27 2026 (2 days)
Module 3: Paris, November 13-18 2026 (6 days)
Applications will be evaluated in the order in which they are received. Since interest has been overwhelming and Kia wishes to keep numbers limited, early application will be paramount.

“Kia creates a non-dogmatic, inclusive environment where everyone can explore their body as the access point for Ashtanga, Pranayama, Anatomy, and the subtle body. I will continue to return to the IDT as my haven for practice and exploration.”
“ Since the first week I’ve applied the learnings and seen the effects of integrating all Kia’s teachings, not just in my yoga and pranayama practice, but also in my daily life, every second! ”
