At the foundation of Yogaspace is our Teacher Training Program. Moving into it’s 10th year, with over 250 successful graduates, YogaSpace offers in-depth training in Hatha and VinyasaYoga. We work to bring out the unique strengths of each individual who enters our program.

Students graduate with theoretical knowledge and practical understanding of asana curriculum, fundamental pranayama and meditation, therapeutic function, functional anatomy, the art and science of sequencing, visual demonstration, hands on application, verbal communication, fundamental philosophy and chanting and an introduction to restorative and pre/postnatal Yoga.

We have created a program that fits into the real lives of individuals who work or go to school full time, are parents and/or have important relationships to maintain outside of their training. Both the Saturday and Sunday hours leave ample time in the day for other commitments. The 3 semester, 6 week format with 2 substantial breaks, divides the program into manageable chunks while allowing time for students to integrate what they are learning into their practice, their teaching and their lives.

Experience has shown us that true learning begins once students begin to teach and so we offer extensive practice teaching on our drop-in schedule community classes. This unique opportunity has proven invaluable to students who graduate with 3 months of teaching experience on their resumes.

Unique to YogaSpace, students have the option to train in our highly reputed Therapeutic Yoga program and observe and practice alongside our therapeutic team during the training year. This greatly enhances hands-on skills. Some graduates continue to work in this capacity upon program completion.

Our faculty are among the most influential teachers in Canada. Many of our graduates, have become well established Yoga teachers and Yoga studio directors throughout Canada, the U.S, England and Australia.

TheYogaSpace teaching team, comprised of close to 40 teachers including our teacher training leaders and top graduates, is a testament to the careful quality of our program. We are presently receiving applications for the October 2009-10 program. Apply early. Space is limited.
