Advanced Yoga Teacher Training - 300/500hr Modules with Empowered Yoga
In Person Modules offered in Grande Prairie – see all details on courses below – please note all courses require 10 participants to run. Deadline to register for each course is 2 weeks prior to the start date.
Just as there is no “one size fits all” yoga practice, we believe that each teacher is unique in their offerings and it is our goal to create a program that awakens these talents, empowering teachers to find their own voice and style. Our programs combine modern concepts based on psychology, trauma-sensitive protocols, biomechanics, and modern movement paradigms.
We encourage students to ask intelligent questions, determine context and applicability, work synergistically within modern health care paradigms, and most importantly create their own style based in both tradition and innovation.
Michele Theoret brings over 20 years of yoga teaching experience, professional training in personal training and group fitness instruction, a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science, Masters of Science in Natural Health Sciences, and Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology. As a psychologist and yoga teacher Michele prides herself in meeting each student where they are at and supporting them through both education and practical experience. Michele has studied in many yoga and mediation traditions and integrates these teachings with her formal education in exercise science and psychology.
To apply for the 300Hr advanced course, a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate from any school is required. The successful completion of 300 hours of Empowered Yoga continued education will certify you as a 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, as recognized by Yoga Alliance. Please note that you can take individual modules, and are not required to work towards your 300hr training.

The core modules will include important foundational information focused on anatomy, biomechanics, alignment, psychology, philosophy, energetics, and movement practices from various disciplines; their role in grounding people in their bodies while awakening potential and increasing vitality. Teachers will gain an even deeper understanding of the fusion of anatomy & physiology and the eastern energetics and how each lens offers a different perspective when viewing individual bodies and experiences. The focus is creating classes that are accessible and inclusive to EVERYBODY.
