200 Hr Vinyasa Foundations YTT In Canada

May 2020

Can't travel with us to India, no problem we have a very special guest flying all the way here from India so you can study authentic yoga at home! This is an incredible opportunity to learn the traditional Indian methods and practices directly from the source, Guru Ji. Embark on your spiritual journey without traveling too far from home. 

​

Event Details:

Our 200 hour Foundations Yoga Teacher Training Course is transformative on all levels of the mind, body and soul. Not only will you improve your strength, flexibility and overall physical health, but your entire understanding of the path of yoga will deepen as Guru JI  and Shara guide you throughout your month long yogic journey. 

Our program is slightly different from others in that our teachers are coming from India and wish to share the authentic traditional yogic practices (and teaching methods) that have been used for thousands of years. Our teachers live and breathe the yogic lifestyle and they have a true desire to share the practices of the East with those in the West. 

This program is ideal for those who plan to teach yoga professionally, who wish to simply deepen a personal practice, and those who wish to learn the authentic, traditional yogic practices from a master who has been teaching for over 40 years.
