TAYS is unique in its “therapeutic approach” towards the study and practice of yoga and we are proud to be one of the longest running and most popular 200 and 500 hour yoga teacher training programs in Atlantic Canada. Grounded in the intention of Ahimsa, the observances of non-harming and kindness, TAYS emphasizes safe and skillful alignment and injury prevention from both Eastern and Western perspectives.
Our highly-regarded 200 hour and 500 hour programs are designed to certify students who are interested in teaching a Hatha vinyasa style of yoga. Students can complete a foundation 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training course, with the option to build on these fundamentals to complete a 500 hour certification (300 additional hours). Both our 200 and 500 hour YTT programs are registered with Yoga Alliance and meet and exceed their requirements. TAYS’ YTT programs differs from others as our backgrounds in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, kinesiology and osteopathy keep our program focused and clear.
TAYS YTT programs rely on four key areas to provide both traditional and important contemporary approaches to teaching yoga. By receiving a training that includes a synthesis of hatha yoga, allied health professional knowledge, meditation and communication techniques, teachers graduate with the skills they need to teach yoga professionally and safely to the public.
