Our Mission

Our mission is to create a program from which students graduate feeling confident and knowledgeable to teach a well sequenced Hatha yoga class rooted in the tradition and teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Om Shanti School of Yoga is an intensive teacher training program.  Offered locally, in person in Orillia, Ontario.

As studio owners who are actively teaching our own weekly classes we have become well versed in the dynamics that create a great teacher and areas where teacher training programs may be lacking.  

We have both taken multiple teacher trainings with different schools and have brought together the pieces we have learned and loved from each to create an extraordinary program where we will focus on structure and alignment of asana, pranayama, kriyas, philosophy, history and so much more!

The demand for yoga is ever growing.  The average student is seeking more than physical exercise.  Our course provides our trainees with the knowledge and depth to bring these additional elements into their classes.   Yoga is a path to freedom and we want to honour its roots and practices.

Om Shanti School of Yoga is guided by the moral and ethical teachings of the Yamas & Niyamas. 

Om Shanti School of Yoga 200+ hour YTT  is not registered through Yoga Alliance.
