The lead facilitator Lauren Roegele prides herself on exceptional yoga training and has many years of experience teaching teachers as she was the program director at the Vancouver School of Yoga from 2012–2016 and is currently on the faculty for Rhodes Wellness College’s yoga programs.

Graduates will receive a certificate and can expect to be employable worldwide in the yoga industry. Please note students must meet graduation requirements to receive final certification, this is to be reviewed in the student agreement on the first day and can be discussed ahead of time at the posted information session or discussed privately with Lauren. With the ease of online it is easy to make up missed hours.

IMPORTANT:

​

Admissions Requirements

• Minimum age of 18

• Fluency in English

• No disability or disease that could impede the learning process of the individual or jeopardize the health and safety of fellow students/clients

• Prior (1 year) experience with yoga – Many students have asked if it is important to have an advanced physical practice in order to teach Yoga. The ability to perform difficult postures is not necessarily a hallmark of advanced practice. Advanced practice is more about how you approach the postures than what you look like in them.

• Read, understand & sign student agreement & YTT policies, which indicate the attendance policy (If you miss more than 20 hours of this training you are NOT eligible for graduation without doing makeup work at students cost. Easy to do makeup with online options)
