Courses | Training | Retreats | Community
The YOLA Academy is a space for people who want to (re)discover their purpose in life and develop inner strength – and for coaches who want to professionally guide them on this journey. Our programmes combine modern psychological methods, holistic approaches and community to create clear, practical paths to a fulfilling life.
We believe: True transformation does not happen in isolation, but in an environment that supports and inspires.
Our pillars:
courses – digital programmes for personal development
retreats – Personal development in community with follow-up support
Day workshops & seminars – Practical training for everyday life and work (The programme for 2026 will follow shortly)
certifications – Well-founded programmes for coaches and trainers
Do you feel that there is more inside you, but you lack clarity on how to orient your life?
In the IKIGAI programme, you will discover what truly gives you meaning, how to use your strengths, and which direction will fulfil you in the long term.
With practical exercises, reflection questions and coaching methods, you will find your common thread and learn to make decisions based on inner clarity.
Storms are part of life: pressure, uncertainty, stress, change. We often feel at their mercy – but we can learn to deal with them differently.
Weathering Life’s Storms is a training programme for inner stability. You learn not to get carried away by the chaos around you, but to find and cultivate calm, clarity and serenity within yourself.
Step by step, you will develop tools to remain capable of acting in crises, organise your thoughts and not let setbacks throw you off course.
It is not about avoiding storms – but about going through them with self-efficacy and integrity – and growing from them.
Because development is more than self-optimisation.
We believe that true growth comes when people learn to understand themselves better, develop inner stability and carry this strength into their lives.
Our programmes help you to stay clear-headed in the midst of challenges, recognise your own path and consciously shape your life. At the same time, we offer coaches and trainers the opportunity to pass on this knowledge and thus become part of a larger movement themselves.
YOLA is not just a place of learning, but a community. People who find their calling, remain steadfast in the face of adversity and accompany others on this path inspire each other. This creates a network of support, authenticity and genuine connection.
Holistic Life and Business Coach – holistic support, both privately and professionally
The Holistic Life and Business Coach training programme combines personal development, modern coaching methods and business know-how into a comprehensive approach. You will learn to support people not only in their private lives, but also in their professional challenges – from stress and identity crises to leadership and career issues.
The focus is on an integrative approach: psychology, mindfulness, embodiment and positive psychology merge with clear tools for business coaching, communication and change processes. This means that after completing the training, you will be able to provide professional and sustainable support to both individuals and companies.
For aspiring coaches, managers, consultants and self-employed individuals who want to take their work to the next level and have a holistic impact.
The IKIGAI Coach training programme will turn you into a guide for processes of meaning and vocation. You will learn how to support people in discovering their passions, talents and values and bringing them into harmony with their lives.
The programme provides you with in-depth knowledge of psychology, coaching and life design, supplemented by proven methods and practical exercises. Upon completion, you will be able to guide individuals or groups through the IKIGAI process – whether in your coaching, in teams or as a stand-alone service.
For coaches, trainers, HR professionals and anyone who wants to help people on their path to clarity and self-determination.
