What is the Apprenticeship Program?
The Apprenticeship program is a great option for experienced teachers to take their Yoga practice to the next level, learning specific Yogic techniques, theories, philosophies, pranayama, kriyas and poses.
Michelle has over 5000 hours of teaching experience over the last 5 years, and over 3000 hours of training with Master teachers around the world. Michelle is in a prime position to help Yoga teachers further develop their program. This program is based on one on one practice and instruction with Michelle. Michelle will observe the classes that you teach, and she will be available for guidance on specific issues that arise in your teaching or practice.
Requirements for Apprenticeship Program
It is essential that all applicants to the apprenticeship program have many years of practice, and are teaching Yoga on a regular basis. The program is only offered in Victoria, but out of town applicants will be assisted in finding appropriate home-stay arrangements.

Chair Yoga Apprenticeship
Michelle is Victoria’s leading Yoga Therapist, with over 2500 hours of experience teaching Chair Yoga at seniors centers and hospitals in Victoria. We hope to greatly expand Canada’s Chair Yoga program, and are interested in training a wave of appropriate Chair Yoga teachers. Teaching people in need is not only hugely beneficial to those people, but is a wonderful investment in your own personal Yoga journey.
Requirements for Chair Yoga Apprenticeship
Learning how to teach seniors and people in need can be very challenging, but is always very rewarding. The yoga part of the training is not very physically challenging, but learning to accommodate different physical and mental challenges can be hard to grasp. Depending on your level of experience practicing and teaching Yoga, a Chair Yoga apprenticeship can last from as short as a week to a couple of months. The program is generally finished when the apprentice is comfortable running their own Chair Yoga program.
There are many opportunities for regular work in this field, and it can be extremely rewarding!
