School Info

We are proud to be a Gold-Designated School with the Canadian Yoga Alliance, entering our 10th year of offering high-quality Yoga Teacher Training.

Our faculty brings together over 40 years of combined experience, ensuring that each student receives the guidance, mentorship, and support needed throughout their training journey.

Our program is rooted in a strong foundation of yogic philosophy, anatomy, spiritual anatomy, Sanskrit, and other essential teachings to help students deepen their personal practice and step confidently into the role of a Yoga Teacher.

What sets us apart is our unique integration of:

Visual Arts

Yoga

Healing Modalities including Reiki, Indian Head Massage, Energy Management, and Life Skills Coaching

We are more than a yoga school — we are a community hub. Our space includes a Gift Shop that showcases local artisans, fair trade goods, and one-of-a-kind items, as well as a newly opened Café to nourish the body and soul.

We are currently developing online YTT programs; however, at this time, all certifications require in-person attendance.

Course Outline

Our Courses Include:
• Anatomy & Physiology — including Spiritual Anatomy
• Nutrition
• Yoga Philosophy
• Hatha Yoga
• Meditation
• Principles of Teaching
• Communication Skills
• Exploration of the Deeper Dimensions of Yoga

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive certification from Art Rocks & Healing Yoga. You will be equipped not only to teach yoga professionally, but also to embody a deeper understanding of the time-tested science of Yoga.

This comprehensive training includes all materials needed to teach Hatha Yoga at a certified professional level. You'll gain knowledge in:

Asanas, their proper alignment, modifications, and contraindications

Adjustments and support for students with limited mobility

Yogic philosophy and teaching methodology

Anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology

The art of inclusive teaching and the importance of recognizing that not all students are the same

At the heart of our training is the principle of Ahimsa — non-harm. This guides every aspect of our approach, reminding us to teach and live with compassion, awareness, and care for ourselves and others.

Teaching yoga is far more than leading a physical practice. You will also explore:

The Yamas and Niyamas (ethical precepts)

Chakras, Bandhas, and Mudras

Relaxation techniques and meditation

Ethics for Yoga Teachers

Foundations of Yoga Business Development, including communication, marketing, and networking skills essential for professional success
