This thorough, 5-week yoga teacher training prepares future teachers to lead the original 26&2 90-minute hot yoga Bikram class, as well as carry forward the tradition of the lineage with confidence and integrity. Participants will exit this training ready to teach professional, intelligent, and motivating hot yoga classes to the public.
This hot yoga teacher training program in Trieste, Italy will be led by Adam Chipiuk, Jasmine Nash and Oleg Korsunsky alongside a team of highly experienced presenters and contributors. Upon registration, and with our assistance, students will be expected to begin work on dialogue memorization immediately, so as to be prepared for the in-person phase of the training.

This training is NOT a retreat. Expect full days! The work you put in at teacher training will bring forth from you the awareness to teach this powerful practice.
Adam Chipiuk attended Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in 2011, quickly rising to become one of Bikram Choudhury’s senior assistants at 15 international trainings and directly guiding thousands of new teachers. Over the years, he has taught at more than 100 studios worldwide and earned a reputation as a guardian of the original 90‑minute class.
Adam also brings deep medical expertise, with a B.Sc. in Neuroscience from the University of Alberta, a DDS from NYU, and advanced training in sleep medicine and orofacial pain at UCLA, along with studies in naturopathic and integrative medicine.
Drawing on his experience as a former studio owner, he integrates lived experience, rigorous training, and medical knowledge into teaching that is precise, disciplined, and deeply transformative.
Jasmine attended Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in 2013 and has since taught in 30+ countries, leading teacher trainings, retreats, and workshops year-round. After training, she worked with her mentor Esak Garcia to help build the e84 Yoga program, shaping training environments for teachers worldwide. She is one of 4 leaders of Jedi Fight Club, a posture development training created by Esak.
A committed yoga athlete since 2012, Jasmine won the Canadian Championships in 2019–2021.
