Yoga Centre Winnipeg Teacher Training Program

Why Choose Our Program:

The Yoga Centre Winnipeg offers a certified 200 hour Teacher Training Program.

The program runs as a series of weekend workshops over the course of 2 years. Although the start up is in September, participants may choose to start anytime so long as they complete the required curriculum.

We are committed to excellence in instruction:
  • Graduates are highly qualified to teach in the community, in the workplace and privately.
  • Graduates are well respected in the Canadian Yoga Community
  • Participants receive a complete teacher training manual.
We are committed to self growth and self awareness:
  • Participants are encouraged to explore not only their asana practice and experience but their own depths.

  • We teach through inquiry, encouraging students to adopt an attitude of exploration and curiosity.

  • The program is spread over the course of 2 years to give participants the opportunity to mature and process the course content, as well as the opportunity to attend ongoing classes and observe experienced teachers.
Our History:

The course has been developed by and is taught by Jan Debenham, and Shauna Ellerby, whose combined experience includes:
  • Vinyasa Certification
  • Kripalu Certification
As well as mentoring influences by:
  • Ramanand Patel(Iyengar)
  • Father Joe Pereira
  • Donald Moyer
  • Hart Lazer
Jan Debenham joined the Yoga Centre Winnipeg staff in 1993.

Shauna Ellerby began teaching at Heartland Yoga in 1998.

Our combined experience and training offers an unparalleled program for the aspiring yoga teacher.

We are committed to our own growth

We are continually adding to our own training and personal development through our personal practice as well as workshops in yoga and meditation.
