Yogaspace has offered 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training programs, annually, for well over a decade. A Yoga Alliance Registered School and a Federal Government of Canada Private Educational Institute, graduates of our program receive Yoga Alliance Certification, allowing them to teach anywhere in the world. All tuition and educational books are tax deductible.
We offer three Teacher Training program options annually and take a maximum of 25 students into each. (A five week Summer Intensive, a four month Fall Program and a four month Winter Program). All programs include a 4 month complimentary pass to all drop in classes.
The scheduling of our programs allows for a healthy, relaxed learning process, structured to meet the unique needs of individuals.
The program is $3000+hst and each of our 200 hour programs are suitable, for students who wish to become Yoga teachers, or for those who wish, simply, to deepen their Yoga practice.
Our senior faculty members are recognized for their extensive contributions to the Toronto Yoga community over the past twenty years. They are eager students and educators of Yoga, interested in sharing their knowledge and experience. They are always accessible and the larger Yogaspace teaching team serve as student mentors.
The environment at Yogaspace is supportive, inclusive and freindly. We offer in-depth training in Hatha, Vinyasa and Therapeutic Yoga. We respect the tradition of Yoga and acknowledge contemporary influences on the practice.
Our approach is therapeutic and our emphasis is on function in relation to the individual rather than on aesthetics. We are interested in using the poses to explore the body rather than using the body to attain the perfect pose.
Teaching Yoga, is a Yoga in and of itself. Effective teaching skills are developed by a strong training in the fundamentals of teaching Yoga, followed by the experience that can only be attained through the practice of teaching, itself. Every teacher knows this. Year after year, we witness the beginning of serious learning, when trainees become engaged in their teaching practicum.
The overwhelming success of our program lies in:
Our ability to provide a schedule that allows for a relaxed, healthy learning environment. (There are 3 Yoga studio’s at our centre).
Experienced, knowledgeable senior teachers with over 50 years teaching experience between them and well over a decade of experience, specifically, in training Yoga teachers.
An extensive public teaching practicum where students develop both skills and confidence in a supportive environment.
Limited enrolment allowing for individual attention and ongoing contact and email support with primary teachers.
If yoga is your passion, maybe now is the time to grow from student to teacher. Vikasa is a certified yoga school, hundreds of students successfully pass intensive teacher training courses each year to receive a globally recognized 200 hours Yoga Alliance certificate.
Our inspiring yoga teacher training is run by a group of outstanding and leading professional yoga teachers, and will satisfy even the most demanding and inquisitive mind.
Our beautiful open-air and ocean front yoga salas offer a serene setting with soothing sounds of the ocean.
You’ll make a new network of peers, mentors, and friends that will open up opportunities and new experiences.
You’ll transform yourself to be a person that is easier to be happy, harder to be upset, and all around wiser and healthier. Teacher training allows the student to become immersed in anatomical demonstrations and philosophical lessons. You’ll also be getting lots of hands on experience teaching and assisting your fellow classmates as we compassionately guide you to be the best you can be.
This course is appropriate for all levels – including beginners! We believe that everyone is a yogi, and that means you. You don’t need to be flexible or thin, or have the “right” clothes. You don’t need to know ancient Sanskrit or burn incense in your home. All you need to do is show up with an open mind and do your best. You will transform your body, mind and life with this course, just as we did.
Vikasa provides an inspiring yoga environment created by Konstantin Miachin.
Vikasa is set in a spectacular hilltop environment which gives you breathtaking sea-views throughout the resort, be it from the yoga salas, the rooms, the infinity pool or the restaurant.
The center of evolution is Konstantin Miachin, a yoga innovator who created the challenging and ever-evolving Vikasa style. His practice and teachings have brought him to all corners of the world. Vikasa yoga center is dedicated to the study of yoga, holistic health and consciousness evolution.
Our restaurant has found its own formula to combine healthy ingredients with pure indulgence. Enjoy the evolution of healthy food from our famous sea-view terrace, served by our friendly staff.
Vikasa yoga retreat is located on Koh Samui island, a tropical dream destination in Thailand, the land of smiles. Located on the most beautiful part of Koh Samui, situated on the rocks, between Chaweng and Lamai. Thailand is one of the safest countries in the world to travel in, especially for young women looking for a yoga teacher training course.
More than yoga, we offer you inspiration and transformation
