Yoga Sarana & Karma Teachers: 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga Sarana and Karma Teachers are pleased to announce their partnership for a 200-hour Yoga Alliance registered teacher training program commencing Fall 2025. This partnership unites a dedicated studio with a well established training program, offering a comprehensive path for students to expand their yoga knowledge, develop their study of self, and learn skills to teach yoga.
The program is taught in part by Jennifer Clarke who brings two decades of experience of practice and teaching. Jennifer founded her own Yoga Alliance registered program, owned her own studio in Vancouver BC and served as lead teacher of Karma Teachers in Vancouver.

Iyengar module, honoring this lineage that anchors
Yoga Sarana's classes.

This eight-week YOGA ALLIANCE CERTIFIED course runs from October 17 to December 7 and includes practice of asana and pranayama, teaching methodologies, yogic philosophy, practice teaching and exam.

Our instructors are among the most experienced instructors in the city. Iyengar yoga instructors undergo a minimum of 6 years of training and assessment before being certified to teach in the Iyengar method. Iyengar yoga certification is considered the “gold standard” because it is the most rigorous teacher certification program in the world. Candidates for Iyengar yoga certification must study for a minimum of three years, complete a 500-hour training or equivalent program, complete an apprenticeship and pass two levels of intense testing and evaluation.
Our studio was originally established in 1996 - and after many years in an old and outdated studio we moved to our new home in February 2020.

Iyengar Yoga, is named for B. K. S. Iyengar and described in his bestselling book Light on Yoga (1966). This style has an emphasis on detail, precision and alignment; using props in the performance of yoga postures
such as belts, blocks, and blankets, as aids for getting into poses correctly, minimizing the risk of injury or strain. Teachers receive extensive training - measured in years, not hours. While we have other forms of yoga at Yoga Sarana but we keep the foundations set in Iyengar in everything we do.
