Teacher Training & Certification
(FAQ)

We focus mainly on practical teaching and smart succinct cueing and give you lots of time for practise teaching so you learn how to lead students safely into the postures. Traditional 200 hour courses are required to cover 30+ hours of yoga philosophy and history, 20 hours of anatomy and muscle movement and some count 40+ hours just for attending public yoga classes.

The BCRPA Fitness Theory Module ensures you will have learned more Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology than most 200 YTT programs. BCRPA also includes and annual insurance coverage that has one of the lowest rates in Canada.
