Student reviews
I had an amazing experience doing my 200HR Yoga Teacher Training with Yogaspace. The teachers were seasoned, skilled experts on the subject matter they covered and were as approachable as they were knowledgeable. The programming was very well-rounded, balancing between and covering yoga philosophy and history; coverage of asanas and the respective cues; overall elements of class guidance and teaching; expanding on yoga-relevant anatomy; and touching on prenatal and accessible yoga as well. At the final stages of our program, our main instructors were fantastic at bringing our awareness to our strengths and encouraging us to lean into our unique talents, all while giving constructive feedback for us to continue to grow. By the end of the program I felt well prepared to start my journey as a yoga teacher, especially as the support would extend beyond the program, not only with the opportunity to get practical experience through their post-YTT Community Class program but also from the wonderful and special community within the studio into which we were integrated. I would highly recommend this program to anyone within the Greater Toronto Area and downtown core.
I feel so grateful to have chosen Yogaspace for my 200h YTT. The program truly honours the roots of yoga, providing a well rounded training on classical hatha and vinyasa, with a strong emphasis on yoga philosophy. All faculty members are very knowledgeable, personable, and trauma informed. Throughout the program, Kathryn, our director, has been a steady source of support and continues to encourage us as we step into teaching community classes at the studio. Beyond the program, Yogaspace attracts a warm and inclusive community. I would recommend this program to anyone I know looking to complete a 200h or 300h ytt.
