Independent yoga studio space, close to downtown Halifax, available for rent.

The mission of the SATORI Yoga Teacher Training program is to provide a space where avid yoga students and aspiring Yoga teachers can explore the depths of their physical, mental and spiritual yoga practice; guiding them along their path towards SATORI - moments of enlightenment.  We offer quality instruction with knowledgeable and experienced Yoga teachers, leaving students with the capacity to both practice and teach safe, effective yoga practices for students of all demographics.  A strong emphasis is placed on anatomy and physiology, particularly on skeletal variation; allowing the teacher and student to understand how to make the yoga postures fit them, rather than making their bodies fit the posture.

In establishing the first 300 hour Yin & Yang Yoga Teacher Training program in Canada, it is our goal to offer you 200 hours of unique instruction in the YANG methodology of a Hatha Vinyasa Yoga practice, strongly influenced by the Kripalu lineage.  In the following 100 hours, you will receive extensive training in YIN Yoga, as influenced by the teachings of Paul & Suzee Grilley, and Paulie Zink, the founder of Taoist Yoga.  Here you will come to understand the full capacity of your anatomical variation, and how knowledge of both YIN and YANG Yoga formulates a balanced Yoga practice for yourself and your students. 

The SATORI Yoga Teacher Training program is accredited through the Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level.  Since they do not accredit 300 base trainings, they accredit the 200 with SATORI as a Registered Yoga School, and the 100 hours of Yin training is recognized as continuing eductation credits.  Your training is still a complete 300 hour teacher training, and the 100 hours of Yin Yoga can be applied to future 500 hour advanced Yoga teacher training programs offered through SATORI. 

We accept a maximum number of twelve students into our program, and we are currently FULL for the 2010 program.  We are taking applications for the 2011 program at this time.  If you are interested in receiving an information packet, please contact me via email at enlighten [dot] satori [at] gmail [dot] com.
