“I WOULD RECOMMEND THE BREATHE YTT PROGRAM and especially the faculty who brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the on-line program. Week after week they projected life and motivation into their teachings during a very difficult winter. They were able hold attention and impart precious learning in a zoom format. I am very grateful to them and that I was able to be a participant.

Teaching Skills and Fundamentals
Breathe Yoga and Wellness Centre offers an incredible YTT program! The instructors are well verse in yoga knowledge- asanas, philosophy as well as anatomy. They offer a safe environment to teach, are incredibly patient and inclusive in their community!
2021 GRADUATEI had a great experience at Breathe, it is a serious program with a great group pf teachers and staff. I am comfortable to say that it is one of the most complete programs available in Canada.
2021 GRADUATEBreathe Yoga Teacher Training provided me with a solid foundation to teach with confidence and clarity. The teachers are exceptional: learned, organized, approachable and compassionate. Taking the Breathe YTT was a transformational experience in my life; I’m a qualified, confident teacher due to this course.
2021 GRADUATEBeing a part of the program has helped me build a stronger relationship to let go of things that did not matter in life, and walk away from situations that weren’t right for me. The practice on the mat and cues such as “find your balance” or “lead with the heart” aren’t just cues in yoga, they’re lessons which are to be implemented on the daily throughout all aspects of life. it makes me realize how the cues we give provides empowerment and adjustments in life.
2020 GRADUATEIt’s been a memorable experience and great exposure. Great faculty, awesome yogis! I only have positive things to say about the last 5 months. Yoga practise actually helped me through the Pandemic.
2020 GRADUATEIt’s been a memorable experience and great exposure. Great faculty, awesome yogis! I only have positive things to say about the last 5 months. Yoga practise actually helped me through the COVID Pandemic.
2020 GRADUATEMy experience in this course was like a jump in the dark, I had a practice but not based in Ashtanga, being introduced to it in a training with experienced faculty had a huge impact in how I see myself in and out today. I think I learned the most to love and respect myself and through it, love and respect others. This course has made me want to share this experience, teach others how to feel good and when you feel like that you can’t help but wish the same to all other beings.
2020 GRADUATEThe course was a great learning experience for me overall. The level of interaction with Margot and her support helped prepare everyone for teaching. While it got hard at the end after a lengthy period of not being in studio, the ability to practice online helped keep up our own commitment to our personal practice. I feel like yoga will always be part of my life now. I would not have said that 8 months ago before I started practicing regularly at Breathe.
2020 GRADUATE“BREATHE YTT PROVIDES A SENSE OF COMMUNITY and a safe space to deepen your practice and relationship with yourself. You will learn how to be a confident teacher, build your strength, balance and flexibility not just in your practice, but through every aspect in life.” 2020 Graduate
2020 GRADUATE“I learned an incredible amount over the last four months. My yoga practice has been transformed and I feel excited and ready to continue my development as a teacher and a yogi. The course was demanding but manageable and I’m really glad I chose to do it in a longer format rather than as a month intensive. This work needs time to seep into your body and mind.”
2019 GRADUATE“My overall experience was nothing short of amazing. I got to immerse myself in a yoga community and met similar minded people who inspire me to continue my yoga practice. I believe I have learned enough skills and confidence to start teaching yoga throughout the program.”
2019 GRADUATE“This program really encouraged and inspired you to work on yourself, inside and out. My personal practice has grown immensely, but most importantly I’ve been able to dig deeply inwards and begin to find ways to love myself and treat myself with respect and care.”
2019 GRADUATE“My personal practice is almost incomparable to when I started the program in regards to strength and understanding proper alignment.”
2019 GRADUATE“Breathe YTT provides a sense of community and a safe space to deepen your practice and relationship with yourself. You will learn how to be a confident teacher, build your strength, balance and flexibility not just in your practice, but through every aspect in life.”
2019 GRADUATE“I would recommend this program to anyone looking to deepen their practice. While this program greatly expanded my knowledge base, my physical capabilities, my spiritual practice and more, the strongest element of the program was the community I got to join. The teachers, the staff, the alumni and the other trainees were the most valuable resource to ever impact my practice!”
2018 Graduate“This teacher training program brought together experts from the various facets of yoga theory and practice to offer a truly holistic and integrated approach to learning. It also provided ample opportunity for hands-on practice, which was invaluable. I would recommend this program to others seeking a high quality experience.”
2018 Graduate“I will tell anyone I know who is considering teacher training to head to Breathe. The studio is comfortable, the teachers (in and out of YTT) are supportive and really work hard to make you succeed as a future teacher.”
2018 Graduate“I BELIEVE that the business component in this training is unique and highly valuable and critical piece for anyone who wants to start teaching. The competitive analysis and marketing strategy sessions offered excellent, realistic and practical insights into positioning ourselves in the yoga marketplace.”
2014 Graduate“I feel stronger in so many ways. The program is of the highest quality. I would love to continue with a 300hr or mentorship program at breathe. Breathe has left me with a desire to continue learning, practicing and developing my self confidence as a teacher. I think the words ” life changing” are used too often generally but in this case I would like to say thank you to Breathe and the incredible faculty, it has truly been – life changing.”
2018 Graduate“The course has provided me with the opportunity to deepen my personal practice in a way I had been longing for. After a hiatus from yoga following the birth of my kids, I am so thrilled to find my practice progressing to places I never experienced before, and I feel the benefit to both my body and mind. And, while I know my teaching, and my practice, both have years of practice and hard work ahead, I feel I have the skills and knowledge to organize and present a class effectively. Very grateful for this opportunity and the learning.”
2017 Graduate“Breathe brought my yoga discipline to a height it had never reached before, bringing awareness to my practice where I had previously sought it out as a sort of instinctive ritual. I came into the program with a simplified notion of what I stood to learn, I now realize that learning is part of the ongoing practice that is yoga. In humbling myself to this education I have helped to tamed the excess of my ambitions. This has in turn brought out some realization of what it means to be a teacher.”
2018 Graduate“I had such a positive experience with the teacher training. The teachers and my co-students were supportive and encouraging which allowed me to develop the confidence I need to teach. I looked forward to the weekend sessions where I could dive into all things yoga and then incorporate what I learned throughout my weekly practice. I approach my own practice very differently now and almost with a beginner mentality and a new curiosity for each pose. Yet my energy and flow seems to come more naturally and I find it easier to fall into the meditative aspect of my practice. It has also encouraged me to incorporate more meditation and mindfulness into everything I do.
2018 Graduate“Breathe gave a great introductory course into teacher training. On a more profound note, it also deepens your practice and outlook on life.
I really enjoyed the staff, classmates and environment breathe had to offer. I wish I could do the course again!”
2018 Graduate“My personal practice isn’t even recognizable compared to where I started; I’m stronger and more confident.”

2018 GraduateON THE BUSINESS OF YOGA WORKSHOPS

2018 GraduateON THE BUSINESS OF YOGA WORKSHOPS
“Excellent! I was annoyed that I had to do it because I do not plan to pursue it as a business any time soon but having completed it i realize how important it is for somebody who wants to go into the business. Following the assignment they already have a website – awesome! I also think that the lecture given by Svitlana was helpful in better understanding the industry.”
2018 GraduateON THE YOGA PHILOSOPHY WORKSHOPS
“Scott’s teaching and approach was wonderful. Challenging perspectives while making complicated topics accessible. I looked forward to these sessions very much! I was left with a desire to continue learning.”
2018 GraduateON THE YOGA PHILOSOPHY WORKSHOPS
