Hot Yoga on 20th

Teacher Training

Now in our forth year, our teacher training is still the only hot yoga teacher training in Saskatchewan. Led by Dallas, with over 15,000 hours of teaching experience to share with our students, and extensive training of his own in hot yoga, levels I, II & III, Ashtanga with David Swenson, Scaravelli Yoga, and Pranayama training. All of our hot yoga teachers here are graduates of this program. This is a Yoga Alliance certified 200 hour teacher training. That means students will have 200 contact hours with the tutors, as well as independent study, reading and practice time. Our Teacher Training Courses are designed to teach you all that a traditional yoga teacher training course would, with the additional option to teach a hot yoga sequence. Our previous experience has shown students gained much more when fully immersed in Teacher Training. Intensive training dramatically boosts confidence in teaching skills while simultaneously building a progressive yoga practice.
