10 Reasons to Do Yoga Teacher Training at PranaShanti

10.  A Spacious Centre

Our Centre has four practice Studios, which means that Teacher Training is always in the largest space reserved just for trainings. The consistency and preparation of a space makes training a comfortable experience! You’ll always have the kitchen available to you so you can bring your own food to prepare, and there’s no moving around to other spaces to accommodate classes.

9.  We’re Well Equipped

We’re really equipped because of the diversity of trainings and classes we host!  Whether you want to teach Hot Yoga or Restorative Yoga in the future, your Teacher Training will have many yoga props so you can be supported in your training and learn the full spectrum of how to support yoga students.

8.  In A Great Neighbourhood

Enjoy free parking evenings and weekends, so if you’re not locking your bike up outside, you don’t need to fuss with parking tickets. There are two vegan restaurants, two locally owned coffee shops, a new deli café, a classic breakfast spot, the best donuts in Canada, and other restaurants all within two blocks of us. We’ve been in Hintonburg for seven years as of October, 2015, and we’re loving it!

Yoga is a great, healing form of exercise, sure! But it’s a lot more than that, too, and we celebrate all aspects of the practice.

It’s important to have a good grounding in the various limbs of yoga, because as you and your practice develops, you’ll be pleasantly surprised over the years how you grow into certain concepts and practices.
