This is a calling to dive deep into your personal yoga journey, explore the roots of your inner essence and integrate the wisdom of yoga through a modern holistic approach.

OUR MISSION


Yoga is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is this teacher training.

On this 200hr Foundational Vinyasa Yoga journey we focus on a process of self-discovery, embodied healing and inner transformation, so you can experience your own unique journey and share yoga's rich teachings from a deep authentic space.

Exploring the holistic functional concepts and the interconnectedness between the mind and body, you will learn to uncover the deep stories embedded in the holding patterns of the body and develop the tools to create space for new ways of being.

This training is not only for those who want to confidently share and teach the gifts of yoga but for those who want to deepen the relationship with their own yoga journey.

LEARN


As graduates of this training you will learn:

  • The ability to clearly express and and articulate yoga's wisdom and philosophy

  • Techniques to bring more lightness, compassion and peace into your daily life and relationships

  • Develop a daily meditation and pranayama practice

  • How to intelligently sequence and structure a one hour vinyasa-flow practice

  • How to identify and assist alignment challenges for your students

  • Integrative functional anatomy and biomechanics

  • Energetic understanding of the subtle body including the Koshas and the Chakras

  • Ayurveda and the holistic science of health

  • How to hold space for others, discover your own unique teaching style and strengthening your authentic voice

  • Helpful tools to be successful in the business of yoga

  • How to create an environment conducive for inner reflection and healing

“In any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can pause, breathe, & take refuge in Presence & Love. On the sacred path of radical acceptance, rather than striving for perfection, we discover how to love ourselves into Wholeness.”

— TARA BRACH

  • E-RYT 500

    Chris is passionate about empowering his students to take active ownership of their health. He has been leading yoga and bodywork trainings internationally since 2013, drawing on his experience across multiple disciplines – as an Anatomy Trains Structural Integrator, Thai Yoga bodyworker, Chi Nei Tsang practitioner, and Reiki Master – to apply a holistic approach to yoga and wellness. Chris has completed over 1,750 hours of training in yoga and bodywork, and aims to share this knowledge in ways that are both easily digestible and actionable.

    He strives to create a container through which we can celebrate and express our uniqueness through movement and music, understand the inner workings of our bodies and minds through interactive exploration, and to apply the teachings cultivated in our wellness practices to everyday life experiences. Chris is blessed to have studied directly with such esteemed teachers as Simon Borg-Olivier and Thomas Myers, and weaves the wisdom of ancient traditions with the findings of modern science to provide tools for self-discovery. His personal mantra is to “Be in sync with the drums of your heart”, drawing inspiration from his love of playing music to enrich his yoga teachings.

  • RYT 200

    My passion and purpose is to guide students to reconnect with their bodies through creative movement and breath.

    I completed my 200 hour YTT in 2016 and another 35 hour vinyasa flow training 6 months later. In 2018, I studied with The Kula Project, an advanced 75 hours teacher training primarily based out of NYC and LA. Kula Yoga is a style of vinyasa yoga drawn from the intelligent roots of Ashtanga and Iyengar. My yoga classes offer movement with a strong emphasis on intelligent body alignment along with creative sequencing.

    Experience a vinyasa class with me and I will share with you this healing art and all it’s powerful benefits. Yoga is ‘food for the soul’ and will not only strengthen your body and improve flexibility it will open your heart and leave you craving more.

    In addition to yoga, I am a registered Holistic Nutritionist and founder of Back to Balance, a holistic wellness coaching company.

  • This YTT exceeded all of my expectations. I came looking mostly to deepen my practice and left feeling like I might maybe actually want to teach yoga one day. Its obvious all the teachers were teaching their greatest skills. Chris, Natasha and Gen all created a really safe container for everyone every single day. I’ve been recommending this training to anyone and everyone.

  • The teachers bring so much into this training, three different styles but each one of them compliments each other which makes the experience more enjoyable. I left the course feeling very satisfied about what l learned about yoga, but also about myself. I believe that l have a great foundation to enhance my practice.

I have gained a very good foundation and l am sure this training will help me to reach my goal which is teaching.

  • Life changing. The experience opened my heart, mind, and soul to deep connection both with myself and others. I rediscovered my creative self. Confidently found my voice. Fell in love with myself and yoga philosophy. Gained physical, emotional, and spiritual strength. Gen, Chris and Natasha were supportive, knowledgeable, genuine and fun. A dynamic synergy of love, passion and wisdom. TreeCasa stunningly included all necessary amenities and then some. We were treated with attentive care the entire time. The food was incredible- so many colourful options with every meal. This YTT will change you for the better, whether you intend to teach yoga or not.
