200 Hour Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training
Held at Yogacara in Whistler, B.C. – Fall 2026
You’re probably seeing endless Yoga Teacher Training programs—
Each one offering quick certifications, dream destinations, and life-changing results.
I know that world well… because I was part of it.
Back in 2016, I co-led trainings internationally in places like New Zealand, Scotland, and France. The retreat centers were incredible, and I’m genuinely thankful for those experiences. But being immersed in that environment also made a few things very clear:
- Beautiful locations don’t automatically create skilled, confident teachers.
- Large cohorts rarely give students the attention they deserve to develop as strong teachers
- Fast-track programs don’t always provide the depth needed to truly understand the practice.
- Online trainings cannot adequately prepare for the complexities of teaching public classes. And flexibility means students often lack motivation and accountability.
- And meaningful growth doesn’t come from condensed, high-pressure schedules.
While some amazing teachers did come out of those trainings, many participants finished without the continued guidance or support needed to feel fully ready to teach.
And this pattern isn’t unique.
In recent years, there’s been a noticeable shift toward shorter trainings at a lower pricepoints which often sacrifices depth, mentorship, and real preparation. Too many people complete these programs still feeling unsure of themselves. Seeing that happen again and again pushed me to rethink what teacher training should actually offer.
The approach I now stand behind looks different:
- It allows more time to absorb and apply what’s being learned, so the practice becomes part of everyday life.
- It’s priced with intention, offering accessible options without compromising quality.
It includes ongoing mentorship and regular check-ins, so there’s space to ask questions and grow. - And it’s structured to fit real life—making it possible for those working full-time in places like Whistler, Pemberton, Squamish, or Vancouver to fully participate.
I’m incredibly grateful to continue offering this work alongside Andrea Nacey, creating small, high-quality trainings rooted in care, depth, and integrity.
So that when you finish, you walk away with more than a certificate—
You feel grounded, capable, and truly ready to step into teaching.
