Core Yoga is a Yoga/Pilates fusion class that blends the dynamic flow of Vinyasa Yoga with the precise techniques of Pilates to create a dynamic experience of mindful movement and meditation in motion.  Core Yoga combines breath, awareness, core strengthening and stretching to strengthen, stretch and streamline the body, calm and focus the mind, improve breathing and posture habits, and cultivate a state of active relaxation in everyday life.  Suitable for all levels, and ideal for reducing low back pain, managing stress, improving posture, and building a foundation for ideal health, fitness and vitality.

Since 2009 Yoga Trinity has delivered successful Core Yoga Instructor Training programs to yoga teachers and fitness professionals in a live format, and we are now making it more accessible with a Distance Education module.  We are enthusiastic about continuing to bridge the gap between fitness and yoga, and make continuing education training more affordable and accessible.

It is our aim that when you complete this program you will be able to clearly demonstrate each movement, guide the general participant safely through a balanced sequence of techniques, and instruct simple breath-work exercises.  As well, we encourage each Core Yoga instructor in demonstrating the philosophies of Yoga and Pilates in their practice, and professional and personal interactions.
