Serene Yoga Studio 200 Hour Yoga Actions Teacher Training



Admin Team

The Yoga Actions comprehensive 200-hr Teacher Training program will provide graduates with a strong foundation for facilitating inspired & authentic offerings from their own personal 8-Limb yoga practice. Serene Yoga Studio's unique approach to teaching actions for alignment, balance, stability, ease and space, allows for yoga practitioners to grow and deepen their yoga practice with confidence. Low teacher/student ratios and mentoring allow for students to develop an internal intimacy and awareness of mind, body and spirit in a safe environment.

Serene Yoga Studio is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with the Canadian Yoga Alliance and graduates of the teacher training program will receive a 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) certification.
