Yoga

I feel honored to have had the opportunity to study yoga teacher training with such a knowledgeable, committed group of teachers.  I feel that each teacher brought his or her own expertise to the students, making the program diverse and exciting while remaining true to the governing principles of Langara college.  I am keen to study further with this group, but feel that I have an excellent grounding that will enable me to make a start on my own yoga teaching practice.

When a student is ready, the teacher is already there. For many years I had been exploring the question, “Who am I and how do I effectively and meaningfully live in a world of challenge and change?” Last year I was drawn to explore this question further through Langara College’s Yoga Teachers Training Program. The six month program was a fabulous journey on which I learnt to breathe and to become more aware of my body. It was a growing and expanding communion of body, breath, mind and spirit within a caring and supporting community of a diverse group of learners, students and teachers alike. 

My experience with the Langara YTT Program was truly unforgettable. The combination of theory, practical and experiential learning allowed me to gain a much deeper insight into the beautiful ancient practice of yoga. Thanks to the guidance, support and nurturing of the professional and knowledgeable faculty, I feel very confident in my skills and abilities and I look forward to sharing this with my community as I move forward into the world of teaching.

Be prepared to work hard, make lifelong friends, have fun and be empowered to finally enter the sacred space of a yoga teacher.  This holistic program is life changing, brilliantly organized, and thorough covering all aspects of yoga, from its history to anatomy and physiology. All members of the faculty are extremely knowledgeable,  and warmly draw the student towards embracing yoga as a way of life. I would recommend this program to anyone, in any stage of life, and in any stage of yoga practice.

The YTT program created a sacred space where we became a village, building trust and supporting each other in finding our voices as yoga teachers. I had the opportunity to integrate yoga more deeply into my life and now have a solid foundation to begin teaching.

In my search for practical skills as a Yoga practitioner I discovered so much more. Langara’s YTT program lead me through six months of self discovery leaving me with more then a grocery bag of skills.  Yoga is so rich with history and subtle intricacies that have been woven into my daily fabric which brings a lesson for everyone to enjoy and benefit from. I am forever grateful to the six months I shared with my peers and the talented faculty of their Yoga Teacher Training Program.

My journey through the Langara College Yoga Teacher Training program was life transforming. It truly exceeded my expectations. The faculty presented and delivered the program content from a place of experience and encouraged me to explore myself at a deeper level. Taking this course was one of my best life decisions.



I am so happy that I decided to go to India for further yoga teacher training through Langara's India Internship program. It was planned so thoughtfully and carefully...every detail was taken care of so that I was able to relax and deepen my Yoga practice and training, as well as enjoy the culture of India. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget.

The trip to India and living in an ashram in Rishikesh for two weeks was truly a once in a life time experience. I enjoyed the daily routine of silence, yoga practise, study and communal meals consisting of simple but delicious vegetarian Indian meals. I have learnt so much on this journey exploring self and the ways in which I am connected with all living beings and the planet. I am a relatively new pilgrim on this path. It requires effort and dedication to stay on the journey for it is life-long. As a result of this course I feel less afraid and more courageous to live my life fully.



The advanced yoga retreat in Rishikesh, India was also a phenomenal experience! I truly got to experience the beauty of yoga in one of the most beautiful and spiritual places in the world. I highly recommend the Langara YTT program for future yoga teachers as you will receive an excellent, well-rounded educational experience!

The Northern India Yoga Retreat was one the most amazing life experiences I’ve ever had. I was able to explore myself, and my yoga practice at a much deeper level at the same time feeling safe and secure. The faculty that guided us through our journey were supportive, caring and taught me more about life in 3 weeks than I feel like I’ve learned in a lifetime. Experiencing the country, people and traditions of India with my fellow yogis from Langara helped me gain a new perspective. Not only about teaching yoga, but more importantly, about the place in my heart where I teach Yoga from.

The Northern Studies Retreat is an experience beyond words. I can only hope that my teaching and my actions convey what I learned and gained from participating in this program, because, thus far, I have been unable to find the words. If you’re reading this testimonial, I’m assuming you are thinking about going, and in response to those thoughts, I would simply say, “Don’t think, just go.”
