What's New With Trinity Yoga Teacher Training?
Yoga is evolving and so are we, so our program must evolve as well. After 15 successful Teacher Trainings in both Canada and Australia, our programs will now be offered in a Flexi-Schedule system, so you can complete the program in a 4 week intensive, or complete the program part-time in four-5 day modules at your own pace.
After completion of all four modules of our 250+ hour Level I training program, Continuing Education programs are available, and open to teachers who have completed a 200 hour program in any tradition, to upgrade your skills, develop your practice, diversify your business, and enhance your teaching. See our "Advanced Teacher Training" for more details.

Feedback on Trinity Yoga Teacher Training
I would do this Yoga Teacher Training again! I have had such a wonderful, inspiring journey this last month. At my age and the place I am in at this moment you have given me the opportunity to extend my horizons with confidence and a greater understanding of my love of yoga. Awesome!
Victoria N
Trinity Certified Yoga Instrucor
This course was excellent. It challenged me and I know it challenged my teacher due to my lack of knowledge and personal awareness of how this practice of yoga would challenge my mental and psychological foundations, let alone my physical challenges. I gained an immense amount of knowledge that I gratefully take back with me into the next stage of my life over this next six months. My heartfelt appreciation and thanks for allowing me to take this journey with you and supporting me.
Astrid R
Trinity Certified Yoga Instructor
Yoga Trinity Teacher Training was a fantastic opportunity to explore my own yoga practice and to develop the necessary skills for safely teaching and sharing yoga with others. The best part of the experience was having the opportunity to really be myself, and Heather helped to make that possible by holding a nurturing and non-judgemental space for all of her students. We were encouraged to discover our individual gifts - I felt a great sense of empowerment upon completion of the course.
