The Teacher Training Program

We are so proud of our yoga teacher training graduates! It is true that we may be a little partial, but we are thoroughly convinced that they are the most skilled and accomplished teachers in Victoria! As such, we feel so lucky to be able to hire teachers almost exclusively from our own alumni.

 

Through this program you will learn everything you need to make your classes a storming success! Learn everything from creative choreography and hands-on adjustments to the ability to accommodate people with injuries and illnesses.

 

You will primarily learn how to teach a hatha/hatha flow class. However, with free access to all of our classes throughout the program (in 2 studios with 39 classes per week) many of our graduates have branched off into a wide variety of specialty classes.

 

You will also have the benefit of learning from a wide variety of guest instructors who teach different types of yoga within their area of expertise such as Kundalini, Yin, Prenatal, Mom and Me, Power, Ashtanga, Self Awakening, Chakra Yoga, Yoga for Seniors, Yoga for kids, Partner yoga, Restorative yoga, and more. This will give you a wide breadth of knowledge and allow you to move into a niche that is best suited to your skills.

We are 100% dedicated to the success of our teacher trainees both during and after the completion of the Feel Good program and will do whatever we can to pass on business opportunities and information that we know will contribute to your ongoing success.

 

The Feel Good Yoga Teacher Training program is taught in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Our school is registered with the Canadian and American yoga alliances, the leading governing bodies for yoga teachers and studios in North America.  Upon graduation, you will be eligible for insurance and can apply for work at studios, recreation centers and conferences around the world. You can also pursue a yoga fitness leader designation with BCRPA.
