Chair Yoga Training with Michael Hutkins June 4-6, 2021 For ALL Yoga Teachers and Students!

Our society as a whole is aging, including Ottawa with an expected senior demography of 16% by 2021 – it’s the only age group to increase their percentage of the population!

 300 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Background Since PranaShanti's inception in 2008, Devinder Kaur, envisioned Ottawa's first 300-Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program.  Seeing the need for advanced yogic studies in the region, in 2014, Devinder Kaur with Steffi Retzlaff's support and background in adult higher education began researching approaches for PranaShanti's newest training program. Following this initial stage, Kathleen Burr, with her expertise in program development, continued the work and formulated the program that we offer today.  We are grateful to Steffi and Kathleen for their dedication and contributions to this exceptional program.
