Best Yoga Teacher Trainings in Toronto
YOGA TREE TORONTO YTT
This group of yoga studios offers variety in locations and environments in the heart of Toronto. Catering three different studios in the city; Bay & Dundas, Richmond and Spadina and Yonge and Eglinton, this community is more than capable to make you feel like home. With their spacious rooms, tea lounges, sauna, they have built an oasis.
During the training period you will manage to meet three different disciplinary lineages; classical Hatha, Ashtanga, and Hot Yoga, developing an insight of them all and also gain familiarity with other styles such as restorative and yin, hopefully becoming passionate towards one in particular, or, what is better, developing your own teaching style.
