​

I focus on simple poses taught with clarity and a deep understanding of healthy biomechanics, as well as an introduction to restorative and yin yoga.  Alignment-based yoga simply means doing the poses in an integrated and effective way.  This allows the teacher to work with students in a rehabilitative manner, addressing injuries, or dynamically - working towards advanced postures.  

​

We'll work together with foundational skills to complete your training as a Hatha Yoga instructor,

capable of teaching individuals or groups, on or offline.

​

The training is registered with Yoga Alliance.

About the teacher

I have trained over 1,000 teachers since 2007 in China, Japan and British Columbia. I've enjoyed physical yoga practice and teaching since the 1990s, and owned and operated both a home yoga studio and a larger commercial studio. In 2006 I wrote the course manual “Teaching Hatha Yoga” that is used by many studios as a foundation for their teacher training, and in 2016 wrote "Knead Yoga" - the course manual for private client work.  Early in 2017, I completed "Open Source Yoga - Practice and Teaching" - the new manual for the 200hr course, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of offering teacher training.

Testimonials

Steve Mitten, Life Coach 

"For anyone who loves yoga, and aspires to take their practice to a whole new level, I could not recommend the teacher training more highly. I don’t know if I will ever teach a yoga class, but I enjoyed every minute of the journey, and the process has already paid huge dividends in my practice and life."
