Certification Outcome

 Graduates of the program are certified as 200-Hour Shamanic Yoga Teachers through the Shamanic Yoga Institute’s recognized Canadian Yoga Alliance member-school pathway. This certification reflects not only the successful completion of a 200-hour yoga teacher training program, but also a deep immersion in the Institute’s unique Shamanic Yoga methodology. Rooted in both traditional yogic study and shamanic practice, this approach integrates embodied learning, ceremonial awareness, and relational understanding. Graduates leave prepared to teach, guide, and hold space within a holistic framework that honors both lineage-informed yoga practices and the evolving field of modern spiritual and therapeutic work.

Who It Is For

This training is designed for dedicated students, emerging yoga teachers, and committed practitioners who are seeking a clear, grounded, and credible foundation in both practice and teaching. It is especially suited for those who feel called to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond casual study, and who want a structured, supportive pathway into the world of professional training.

Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or transitioning from personal practice into teaching, this program offers a strong base from which to grow.

For many, it serves as an essential first step before moving into advanced certifications, specialized mentorship, or more intensive areas of study within yoga, shamanic practice, or integrative healing work. It also supports those who value a balance of traditional teachings and modern application, providing the clarity and confidence needed to move forward with integrity.

By establishing a solid foundation in both knowledge and embodied experience, this training helps prepare students for the next stage of their path—whether that leads toward teaching, continued study, or deeper personal transformation.
