Why Master Yoga? What Makes Our Program Unique At Master Yoga, we are truly proud of the training program we have put together. Our extensive experience training teachers and advanced students in small groups previously in Toronto. You will get a comprehensive overview and exposure to the various major yoga traditions plus opportunities to drill down deep into the topics that particularly interest you. A Specific System With a Deep Understanding The Master Yoga approach has been designed after years of careful study of several major systems of yoga. As such, it combines the best elements of a range of approaches in a flexible system. Studying our system will enable you to cultivate a deep and focused personal practice while also maintaining a broad perspective on all the variety of yoga practices that are out there today. It is also a great basis for teaching: you will find you have a clear template for your classes, but without being limited to a cookie-cutter approach. Real Teaching Experience The single biggest complaint we hear from graduates of other yoga teacher trainings is that they feel they didn t actually learn how to teach. They were given information and exposure to various poses and practices, but no indication of the best way to actually communicate that experience. For those who wish to teach, you will spend significant time studying all the elements you need to be successful teach, including information presentation and communication skills, voice coaching, class design and modification, and finding your authentic message work ( Teaching from the Heart ). Even if you don t think you want to teach, the safe and encouraging practice teaching environment is actually one of the best ways to develop your personal practice. After all, to teach something is to learn it twice. Personal Transformation Finally, and perhaps most important, Master Yoga is known for its commitment to personal development and community. As a member of our training group, you will be supported by an incredibly caring and welcoming community. Although most people embarking upon an advanced studies/yoga teacher training program expect it to lead to great changes in their life, few are fully aware of the full depth of the transformation that takes place. The Your Yoga environment will challenge you deeply, but also treat you with respect and compassion. 3

+ Testimonials From our training programs Guru Jey holds true to the pure teachings of yoga. I could not have chosen a more authentic place to deepen and improve my spiritual, mental and physical practice. You will undoubtably have a very personal journey that will be life changing! - Zainab Lalji on Oct 23, 2017-6 Master Yoga follows tradition and is very informative. I learned a lot in a few months, and throughout my 8 years of practice, I had never explored the true mindful and fulfilling benefits the practice as a whole has to offer. Both teachers, Stefani and Jay, inspired me to discover the spiritual side that has not only benefited my asana practice but my entire life. I would say this school is beneficial for the people who unlock a new aspect of view your yoga practice and who are open minded and want to study yoga as it is in its greater tradition (and truest form). -Lauren Gerard on Sep 02, 2017 - For more reviews: https://www.yogaalliance.org/schoolprofilereviews?sid=4746
