SOYA Yoga Teacher Training

I adored my time learning with SOYA. The lessons, texts and assignments really prepared me for teaching yoga but also helped me grow personally in all parts of my life. The teachers I got to work with really embodied what yoga is and were loving and supportive in helping each of us find where we wanted this journey to take us. So much love for SOYA!

It was a dream of mine to do the SOYA 500 hour teacher training so when my time opened up during the pandemic I signed up. The experience of the training was even better than I imagined. I learned so much, was exposed to amazing instructors and became part of a community of teachers that I treasure. Thank you SOYA!!

I took the extended weekend version of the 200h ytt with SOYA in Penticton, BC, I loved it. Firstly Our teacher, Lalita, is absolutely amazing; so patient, knowledgeable and up for a laugh. The class size was small so we could ask questions and really feel like our teacher had time for us individually, and there was such a lovely sense of community- I made some amazing friends. The training you receive is so rounded and complete. You learn about all aspects of yoga and they help you to come out of the training really equipped to start teaching. The weekends are intense (long days) but so enjoyable because of the way the days are paced and how accessible all of the learning was made by our teacher. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in deepening their yoga practice and/or become a yoga teacher.

I completed my 200hr in Mexico this fall and had a wonderful yet transformative time. The immersion option allowed me to fully embrace the training and allowed for a beautiful experience (including sunsets!)

My 300 hour immersion upgrade was nothing short of life changing. I have formed lifelong bonds with my cohort and my teachers that will continue to elevate me on my journey forwards. The shared teachings from Mugs' book, 'Letters From the Yoga Masters', daily rituals, specialty yoga teacher workshops, lengthy philosophical conversations and insights towards my future success as a yoga instructor are just a couple of highlights that a SOYA teacher training has to offer. I highly recommend, to infinity ∞, SOYA, Mugs and Lalitā in Penticton as their lead trainer, to the ends of the earth! I love you so much and am so grateful and honoured to call you my teachers and share the SOYA path.

Would rate higher but there are only 5 stars available!!!I recently completed the 200hr immersive in Naramata.The EXACT training I spent years searching for. MUCH MUCH more than 'fitness instruction.'Learn what yoga is really about. Learn from the most authentic and experienced trainers.The best gift I have ever given myself.Thank you so much SOYA. Can hardly wait for my 300hr training with you.

I completed my 200 hr SOYA training in Penticton in 2010. I did the 1 weekend a month option which was perfect for me at the time as everything I learned was completely new to me. The space between classes gave me lots of time to read the material and do the homework! Mugs and Dariel were extremely supportive in my learning journey and continue their support to me years later. I would highly recommend the SOYA journey! Carol Fisher

I'm proud and thrilled to have completed the 500hr teaching training with Soya. The Soya training is packed full of sumptuous details and teachings that bolster curiosity. Soya provide tools, through the lessons, to access discovery beyond the course work provided. Throughout the training and experiences I've had with SOYA, (staff, students, events), there is the sense of sangha: the embodiment of yoga teachings within a community of people that genuinely care and support one another on their journey.

I feel so blessed to have done my Yoga training with SOYA. The instructors were amazing, experienced, incredibly knowledgeable and versed in so many 'types' of yoga, and remained true to really teaching and transmitting the spritual foundation of the practice. My personal experience was life altering. It was the most loving compassionate environment I've ever been in. Leaving the training provided so many tools and the confidence to be a yoga teacher and find your own voice and style of teaching. ❤️❤️
