Yoga has come of age and the number of people who practice yoga has increased three-fold in the last decade. As more and more people embrace yoga, there is an increasing demand for certified teachers. Yoga teaching has become one of the fastest growing professions in North America.

If you have discipline, dedication and a passion for yoga then our Fast Track teacher training program is for you.

This 250 hour yoga teacher training course covers the details and adjustments of each posture in the Primary Series of Ashtanga yoga and the use of these postures as the basis for a flowing Hatha, Vinyasa or Heated yoga class.

Meditation, Yoga Therapy, Sanskrit, Chanting, Anatomy, Physiology and Yoga Philosophy will be taught. In addition to the 14 hours of lecture time each weekend, students are required to attend 24 public classes, 8 observation classes (no class pass required) and 28 open practice classes during the training period, to meet the course requirements.

Each student will be given unlimited class passes, that may be used at any of our studio locations, while in the teacher training program. These passes will only be accepted within the time frame of this course and expire on the last day of the program.
