COURSE TUTOR
  • Kati Shanti
    Yoga teacher
    Founder of Tbilisi Yoga Community
Kati came to yoga at age 16 with poor posture after a minor car accident. Without sporting experience, yoga seemed to her a real challenge, but the goal was to get rid of the displacement of the vertebrae to become more enduring and balanced.

"This is how I got to know yoga therapy. A few years later, I was already practicing hatha yoga. And I took my first course for teachers of Yoga Flow from the Petersburg School of Yoga.

In 2010, I went on an endless journey. Started in Asia, where I studied yoga with different masters. Then took a 200H TTC in Yoga and Pranayama in India and a 100H TTC in Prenatal and Postnatal yoga in Spain. My most significant influence was practicing Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore (India) and Forrest yoga with Ana Forrest (USA)."

For the last 14 years, Kati has organized a several workshops and yoga retreats worldwide, including India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sweden, Greece, Russia, and Georgia.

"I believe that every person is unique and every day is special. My lessons allow students to reach their potential in a safe environment. All we need is love."

FAQ
  • Student:
    Can I teach yoga with a 200-hour certification?
    Academy:
    Yes. Generally, a 200-hour certification is the worldwide accepted standard for teaching yoga.
  • Student:
    Do I need to register as RYT 200?
    Academy:
    It is not mandatory to register as RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance (or any other yoga teacher federation) for you to teach. You can teach just with a 200-hour certification. In some countries, however, registering as RYT 200 might increase your credibility if you are looking for a job.
  • Student:
    Are all 200-hour courses the same?
    Academy:
    Not at all; some 200-hour courses don’t cover even a fraction of other courses. While choosing a course, it is essential to examine the curriculum and research if the training suits your needs and expectations.
  • Student:
    Where course will take a place?
    Academy:
    Classes will be held at Tbilisi Yoga Villa (Saburtalo branch), on Otar Oniashvili, 37
