THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
This Canadian Yoga Alliance accredited course in Montreal is designed for all passionate students wanting to explore and expand a personal yoga practice, learn about the healing power of the science itself and establish practical tools for sharing and teaching yoga professionally.
The course will explore the ancient science of yoga asana through the understanding of alignment based principles within ashtanga vinyasa yoga.
The basis for all yogic learning begins with the practice.
Each day of the course will begin with a meditation and ashtanga asana practice, providing to you the inspiration and tools necessary to move your personal practice into a new domain of awareness.
This program is unique from others, as it encourages the teacher trainee to develop their own individualized unique approach of teaching yoga.
Creativity and individuality are encouraged, nurtured, expected! Limited to 22 students

The Faculty: |
|
Bachelors in Kinesiology from McMaster University
Jamie is registered with the Canadian Yoga Alliance at the CYA-RYT 500 level.
Yoga found its way into Jamie’s life as a method of injury prevention while training for Triathlon and Ironman throughout university.
Having made Triathlon Canada’s National team twice (junior and age-grouper), the motivation to race and compete slowly changed its focus from a health regimen, to a more holistic approach to health and happiness through yoga asana and meditation.
Jamie has been intensively studying Hatha, Ashtanga and the Iyengar systems of yoga ever since.
Currently his yoga teaching and philosophy draws wisdom from both the Ashtanga and Iyengar systems.

One word to describe Peter's background in movement is eclectic. Volleyball, Kung Fu, Capoeira, Gymnastics, and Yoga have all had an important influence on his posture practice. In Yoga, he found a method that managed to bring together all of his interests: holistic health for the body, mental fortitude and focus, and spiritual integration. He has over 1000 hours of formal yoga training, having participated in curriculums created by Mark and Shankara Darby, Elizabeth Emberly, and Georg and Brenda Feuerstein. He has also been deeply influenced by time spent learning with Richard Rosen, Mark Singleton, Baxter Bell, Matthew Remski, Michael Stone, and François Raoult. Peter's personal studies have lead him to focus on yoga philosophy and history, meditation, and bio-mechanial tools to optimize flexibility, strength, and all-around health.

Ever since I can remember I have been interested in different tools for self discovery and expansion of thought. I believe this is what led me to meditation and the practice of yoga asana in my adolescence. Always active, asana was a great compliment to my other physical activities, and meditation a tool for calming and focusing my busy mind.
At 19 I took my first trip to India to study more deeply and intensely the practice and philosophy of yoga. That first trip took me to a number of Ashrams in Southern India, I developed a keen desire to know more about the history, language and culture surrounding yoga. This fascination led me to complete my studies in Asian religion and South Asia and to make several subsequent trips to India.
Over the years I have been blessed to have the opportunity to practice with many wonderful teachers in the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions. My personal practice is based in the Ashtanga tradition but I am strongly influenced by the Iyengar practice and therapeutic yoga.
I truly believe that practice itself, of all the limbs, is the true teacher and I hope to inspire and nurture my students to cultivate their own yoga sadhana.

"Jamie was Sam's first Ashtanga teacher. After that initial encounter, Sam became very intrigued by the breadth and complexity of the Ashtanga Vinyasa method of postural yoga. In 2015 Sam travelled to learn from Manju Pattabhi Jois, Pattabhi's Jois's eldest son, and began his formal training in teaching Ashtanga Yoga. This summer Sam will travel to Boulder to learn from Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor, to enrich his practice and understanding of sharing this most rigorous and wonderful tradition of Yoga. He is very honoured and excited to be part of the Mysore program during Jamie's 2016 Teacher Training."

The Style: |
| Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Background: |
The Sanskrit word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement”, the popularity and spread of Vinyasa Yoga came from two (2) main influencial Guru`s of our past; Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois.
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (November 18, 1888 – February 28, 1989) was an Indian yoga teacher, ayurvedic healer and scholar.
Often referred to as "The Father of Modern Yoga," Krishnamacharya is widely regarded as one of the most influential yoga teachers of the 20th century and is credited with the revival of hatha yoga.
Pattabhi Jois began his yoga studies in 1927 at the age of 12 with Krishnamacharya, and by 1948 had established the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute for teaching the specific yoga practice known as Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga Yoga is named after the eight limbs of yoga mentioned in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
"Power yoga" and "vinyasa yoga" are generic terms that may refer to any type of vigorous yoga exercise derived from Ashtanga yoga.

I took Jamie's teacher training not knowing what to expect. Conquering fears of the unknown, fulfilling a strong desire to learn more about Yoga and overcoming a fear of public speaking are three things I got in what I can only call an intense life journey. Yes, one month is a very challenging timeframe to engage in on so many levels, but if you can make it work, you will realize how blessed you are to have been able to live it. Through the practice-teaching and Chakra work, I was able to find my own true teaching voice. I felt so comfortable with Jamie as my guide not only in asana, but in meditation, nidra, and even how to bring yoga into the world, that I would not hesitate to recommend his training to anyone. It is refreshing to have a teacher who practices what he preaches, and who does not hesitate to call upon experts in related fields. If you are looking for a complete YTT, this fits the bill. You will not just learn the basics, you will delve much deeper than you could ever expect. -- Lisanne (2015 Graduate)

Jamie Lee’s Ashtanga Teacher Training Program completely changed the way I look at and practice yoga. It made me a more reflective (inner and outer) person. Jamie Lee took the material and made it comprehensive and added his experiences to make the course amazing. The course does not only teach you how to be a great yoga teacher but a more complete person. The program focused on all kinds of aspects of yoga from sequencing and pranayama to anatomy and meditation. I didn’t think I was physically ready to do it at the beginning and was nervous. This program gave me the confidence and was very welcoming. Jamie is an exceptional teacher, he is very observant and gets to know every student. You can see he is very passionate about yoga which translates into this program. I am very happy I made the choice to take the program and would do it again.
Thank you for the life changing experience. -- Danielle (2015 Graduate)
