Logistics:

This course is taught in English, with the manual available in either English or French

(Formation enseignée en anglais, manuel disponible en Français)

This year I have changed the format slightly of this course to be able to spend more time with my little baby. Normally done over  6 days, I have extended this course over 8 days with shorter hours each day.

Course hours equal 48 hours face to face time. The additional 2 hours will be made up with pre-course practices and homework.

The exact hours each day will depend on the studio availability which has not been confirmed yet. If you know you can make yourself available for full days of teacher training, you can sign up now. If your time is limited, you can wait until the venue has confirmed the availability with me, however you risk missing out on a spot as these trainings always sell out.

Please note full attendance is required to receive your completion certificate. If you do not attend all sessions, you will receive a certificate only for the hours you completed, which will not be recognised by Yoga Alliance.

Covid-19: At the current time, I am expecting all of the course content to be taught in person but should the government’s virus-related regulations change, I will reserve the right to teach some of the modules live on Zoom.
