We are confident that you will leave this training as a skillful and soulful yoga teacher, leaving with the same confidence and conviction our squad of trainers and teachers here at NU bring to their classes.
Once successfully passing our 200-hour yoga teacher training program, you will be given the direction and the necessary steps needed for you to register with Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher.
REQUIREMENTS
Full participation is required to complete the program. This is a content-heavy curriculum that requires your commitment to seeing it through until the end. We do understand that life happens and time may be missed due to emergencies, our make-up policy requires you to schedule missed hours through a private session(s) with your trainer at an additional cost.
All assignments, quizzes, and independent studies must be completed and evaluated by the lead trainer.
Once requirements are complete and tuition is paid in full, students will be acknowledged as a NU LEVEL yoga teacher. Our yoga teacher certification is designed to fulfill the requirements necessary to become a Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher (RYT). Graduates can apply for Yoga Alliance certification once they have received their NU certificate.

DANIELLE
D'SOUZA
In addition to completing her 200 hour YTT, Danielle is certified to teach restorative yoga, meditation, and kid’s yoga, with a yin training on the horizon. There is so much more to yoga than the asanas, and Danielle is passionate about sharing the rich teachings of yoga philosophy, pranayama, energetics, and meditation - that have impacted her life in such a positive way - with others. Her goal is to make these teachings and practices accessible and relatable so that students can apply them to everyday life, finding strength + focus + clarity through stillness.
NYA
DALEY

ANDREA
GAUNCE
My yoga journey began while searching to fill a void after retiring from a childhood of competitive dance. For me, yoga was love at first breath. I love the balance of backbends and forward folds, stretching and strengthening, work and relaxation. Yoga is the full package for me! I believe yoga is for every body type and level, whether it’s your 1000th yoga class or your 1st. My goal is to have the practitioner explore their body, safely finding their own edges, both physically and mentally.
AMANDA
DONATO
Amanda gravitated to yoga as a way to cope with a wave of debilitating anxiety in 2014. As a professional dancer and choreographer, the physical practice resonated immediately. It was liberating to move in a non-performative way and there were clear gradual improvements in alignment, mobility and awareness as a result. Mentally, things seemed way more spacious. Amanda completed her Yoga Teacher Training in 2015, and has continued to lead classes locally and internationally. Her teaching style is always evolving, but is forever playful and intuitive.
TIM
KENNEDY
Growing up immersed in gymnastics and dance, I've always been intrigued on how the body looks, feels and preforms. I have studied the mind body connection through: Musical Theatre, obtained a Natural Health license majoring in Aromatherapy and Reflexology, Reiki Master certified, Baptiste Power Yoga trained, Level 3 Thai Bodywork, and currently becoming a Registered Massage Therapist by 2020. As a Holistic therapist, I believe studying the body as a whole is the only way to find balance and source out the core issues that cause discomfort or dis-ease.
HEATHER
CATUIZA
Fourteen years of practice, four years of teaching, and a lifetime of learning: that's me in a nutshell, your friendly neighbourhood yogi. I've taught in the GTA and Southeast Asia teaching Hatha, and have grown my yoga through shifting towards a practice that encourages being in stillness and managing self-distraction. Yin and Restorative teaches us how to balance the hectic pace of the outside world with the quiet of our inner selves — a concept that is challenging, sometimes uncomfortable, but altogether powerful and rewarding.
INDI
SANDHAR
Indi is a Yoga Teacher, Reiki and Sound Healer that incorporates essential oils into her practice. Indi was introduced to the practice of mindfulness and yoga at a young age through her family heritage. She quickly realized and experienced the benefits of such a practice and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others. She offers private and group yoga sessions, Reiki one-on-one sessions, and guided sound healing mediations. Indi believes in all things wellness and mindfulness. Her mission is to enjoy a very happy and healthy life, whilst trying to help empower others to make positive changes to their lives.
