The Advanced Yoga Studies and RYT 200 Teacher Training Program

Applications are now being accepted for the next program scheduled to begin late Fall 2014.

Information sessions dates will be determined once all applications are received.

Please contact us for more information.

Yoga is an intricate, holistic science of life, not just an exercise system for the body alone.
Yoga gives us the tools to grow, to heal, to learn, and to discover that all we really need is within us.
The wisdom and practices of yoga teach us how to look for, listen to, feel, understand and access the guidance of our own intuitive wisdom.

If you have experienced the gifts of yoga in your life, seek to deepen your understanding of this ancient wisdom and/or you feel called to share this wisdom with others, then Living Yoga Studios' Advanced Studies and Teacher Training Program is your next step.

This 330-hour program will be offered in modules. The successful teacher training candidate will receive the Canadian Yoga Alliance Certificate of Registry. Alternatively, those interested in deepening their understanding without obtaining the CYA Certificate are welcome to enroll in the non-teaching specific modules.

The Director of Living Yoga Studios, Perri van Rossem¸ has been sharing her passion of yoga for almost two decades. She has developed a program for those who are ready to delve deeper into the philosophical roots, the physiological theory and practical application of the practices and wisdom of yoga. This program will provide the experienced student with the tools to expand their own understanding, as well as provide the aspiring teacher with the tools necessary to make the leap into teaching.

A maximum of 5 Teacher Training Candidates and 5 Advanced Studies students will be enrolled each year. The small class size ensures every student will receive individual instruction and personal attention.

A great deal of the instruction will take place during private lessons. However, there will be weekend workshops, special lectures, in addition to regular weekly attendance at one’s own practice class and observing and assisting in senior instructor’s classes. Independent study, practice and research, as well as practical application and teaching practicum’s are also integrated into the program. Because the nature of the program is to tutor each candidate in the way best suited to their development there is some flexibility built in to the scheduling of this program.
