Creating a new world with ancient wisdom for modern times.

Our program sits on the foundation of the ancient art & science of Yoga with the intention of helping human beings in the 21st century to meet life & serve from fullness within the unique demands of these times.

We have crafted a curriculum that is as distinctive & comprehensive as the faculty who is delivering it. This program is open to both prospective teachers and those who wish to deepen their practice without teaching. Whether you decide to teach or not, your relationship with your being & life itself will be transformed by participating. 

In addition to meeting all the basic requirements of Yoga Alliance, our program aims for true excellence by incorporating additional study on Healing through Mindfulness, Personal and Professional Coaching, and The Business of Yoga. 

Practice in the beauty of Nature and experience directly the life-giving energy and support of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether.

It is essential to understand how movement functions anatomically and biomechanically when working with the body in motion. An emphasis will be placed on relational anatomy, building an understanding of how the body works together as one cohesive whole to create movement. Students will build an experiential understanding of the body feeling into their own anatomy to deepen their understanding and ability to communicate what is going on internally.

Experience the healing benefits of a daily meditation practice. 

You will have everything that you need to not only expand your yoga practice on a deeper level but to have the tools, skills and strategies needed to share your yoga passion with others.

Become a good steward of your body, mind & soul, and spark change in others.

The Time is Now

Recent Yoga Teacher Training & Beyond Graduate

“My high expectations were exceeded repeatedly during the program.”

I came into the program with a basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology. I presumed I had a basic knowledge of Yoga. ‘Stretching and posing’, right? My goodness was I wrong. I had no idea about the depth of life philosophy, physical conditioning and so much more that came with the ‘and Beyond’ portion of the program. I had not taken Yoga classes prior to the program. I came in as a newcomer but left feeling as confident as those that have been doing yoga for decades.

The guidance we received provided me with the confidence to start teaching yoga months before the program officially concluded. I was able to hit the ground running as an instructor once we were certified. I continue to learn. I’m inspired to learn for the rest of my life. I’m also filled with joy every time I’m able to share experiences, postures, wisdom and space with students seeking my assistance as an instructor. 

The quality with which I’m able to help has increased exponentially due to what I’ve learned through the YTT and Beyond Program. I’ve learned remarkable and unexpected life skills.

Bring out the best in others by cultivating the best in you.

The Techniques and Methodologies of Traditional Yoga and Modern Practices

What you will learn in this program:

 

Students will explore how to break down the asanas and movement sequences into digestible chunks making the postures more accessible to many people. Students will practice how to do the postures at each access point and study how to use props to support and deepen the experience of the posture. Postures will be grouped into families based on the actions required and the alignment of each asana. 

Putting together sequences that make sense from a functional anatomy standpoint is the focus here. Students will learn what movement requisites are necessary for each posture to understand how to build classes that feel good physically and mentally and allow the body and mind to move deeper into a state of yoga. 

It is essential to understand how movement functions anatomically and biomechanically when working with the body in motion. This course will have an online component that students will be able to revisit as many times as they need and serve as a reference for further study once the course is over. In the in-person section on anatomy, the focus will be on building an experiential understanding of movement and function so students can feel and teach yoga from their own experience of their bodies. 

Students will be introduced to Somatics, a mind-body modality that re-wires our nervous system for optimal suppleness and ease. This approach is invaluable for asana and meditation, as well as for healthy aging, and for both injury prevention and rehabilitation.

The Movement Lab is a vital component of the YTT program. Students will take the theoretical skills they have been learning, and bring them to life through assessment, discussion, application and feedback. By working collaboratively to implement sequences that address dysfunctional movement patterns, they will have the opportunity to hone their individual skills and deepen their practical understanding of the therapeutic power of Yoga.

The teaching lab will offer teacher trainees a regular opportunity to consolidate and build on their teaching skills. Students will teach sequences to their colleagues under supervision and receive feedback.

Finding balance through the path of yoga includes both mind and body. We are eager to share how students can take their practice off their mats and into their lives. Students will study the more traditional aspects of the yoga practice such as meditation, mantra, chanting and chakra theories alongside how these practices can serve people in their modern lives.

Whether or not students plan on teaching yoga after completing this training, learning how to foster the inner teacher is critical to one’s development on the yoga path. We will focus on the who, what, why and how of teaching. Who are YOU that is the teacher, what are you teaching, why are you teaching it, and how will you do it? This section of the course will address using one’s voice, music, creating the setting, critical thinking, holding space and cultivating boundaries. Students will engage with their own self-study to clearly understand who they are as a teacher. 

Yoga is a practical philosophy meant to serve humanity and is thousands of years old. An exploration of the historical context of yoga will set the stage for studying ancient yoga philosophy texts and how they apply to their modern lives. Yoga ethics, the cultural appropriation of yoga, and what it means for us as contemporary practitioners will also be explored.

Key teachings from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras will introduce timeless wisdom on the nature of mind, its relationship to asana, and to the cultivation of inner peace. 

Become independent and attract clients compatible with what you have to offer. Refine your money blueprint to create the lifestyle you want as a Yoga Teacher. Discover the foundation of building lasting relationships with students. Fall in Love with the authentic marketing of your PASSION. And create a work/life balance reflective of your yogic values.

Cultivating a personal practice is critical for those who wish to share this practice with others. One must first be able to teach themselves before one teaches others. You will complete 20 hours of led and self-practice classes to cultivate your personal practice.

Simone Nitzan
Lead Teacher BHK, MSc , E-RYT 500

“My purpose is to create a culture of learning and inclusivity where we critically examine human anatomy and physiology as it pertains to movement, as well as yoga philosophy, self-realization, and what it means to be human. On this journey we discover our true selves and our deeper meaning for being.”

Simone is inspired by how the ancient wisdom of yoga can be applied to our lives in the modern world today. Hatha Yoga has the power to heal our over-stimulated nervous system with its multitude of practices, while yoga philosophy leads us to a more sustainable and positive lifestyle, grounded in love for ourselves, all beings and our beautiful planet.

Since the early 2000’s Simone has been studying the human body in movement. She has a bachelor’s degree in human kinetics and a master’s degree in exercise physiology. Most recently Simone became a Registered Massage Therapist and treats a variety of musculoskeletal conditions alongside her yoga teaching practice.

Simone has been sharing her knowledge with aspiring yoga teachers since 2011 and blends her knowledge of western science, anatomy, and physiology with her experience in yogic philosophy. Simone is passionate about sharing these teachings and empowering others to access their best selves.

Caroline Dupont
Teacher, M.Sc.

”I feel most alive when offering my understanding of the relationship between the spiritual journey, the body, mind, emotions and subtle energy to help you to access the inherent goodness and beauty of your unique and precious Life.“

“My greatest interest is exploring the profound contribution of individual healing to relationship, family, community, planetary and global healing.”

Since the early 1980’s I’ve immersed myself in the ever expanding yet paradoxically ever simplified world of human health. I’m a certified yoga instructor, and a registered holistic nutritionist; I have a master’s degree in exercise physiology, and a black belt in the Nia Technique (a holistic movement form); I’ve trained and sat with a number of meditation and spiritual teachers including many extended silent retreats.

Over the past 30 years I’ve taught thousands of students, worked with hundreds of clients individually and developed numerous courses and retreats

Karusia Nirmala Wroblewski
Teacher, C-IAYT, LSMT, E-RYT-500

Yoga is a blessing in my life! Through Yoga, I have learned how to keep my body strong, supple and balanced. I have also discovered how to calm my mind and emotions, and how to heal from depression, anxiety and intergenerational trauma.

Yoga has given me the tools and perspective to face whatever comes my way with equanimity and grace. It has given me the gift of joy. I am delighted and honoured to share these wisdom teachings with others. I love supporting and witnessing that magic moment when Yoga lights up someone’s being.

Karusia Nirmala Wroblewski is a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Living Somatics Movement Teacher (LSMT), and a registered Yoga Educator (E-RYT-500). She holds an Honours BFA in Modern Dance from York University, and is Toronto born and bred.

Yoga has been a major part of her life for over 55 years. She began with asana practice as a young girl, and was initiated into the inner practices of Yoga (pranayama, meditation and philosophy) by her beloved guru Baba Hari Dass in 1998. Yoga continues to guide and inform everything she does.

Over the last 21 years, Karusia has written and delivered curriculum in countless Yoga Teacher Trainings (YTT’s). Her topics have been Experiential Anatomy, Classical Pranayama, Yoga Philosophy and Psychology (most notably Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras), and Introduction to Yoga Therapy.

A lifelong learner, she is constantly looking for additional skills to help her support others more effectively. These include Radiant Lotus Women’s QiGong (certified in Levels 1 and 2 by founder Daisy Lee) and Reiki 1 and 2 (with William Gekas). 

She has recently completed certification in Living Somatics, which is based on the discoveries of Thomas Hanna and Moishe Feldenkrais. Through slow and mindful movements that prioritize ease and comfort, it is possible to release deep-seated chronic stress patterns and to re-educate our nervous systems in the sweet direction of harmony.

Karusia is delighted to be a part of the ClearBeing teaching facility.

Genya Klaiman
Program Director, Teacher

“In my classes I invite students to find proper alignment, with just enough intensity as well as flexibility to acknowledge and honour their own unique needs and intentions. This experience of ‘self-sensing’ and ‘self-awareness’ becomes a tool that you’ll apply in your daily life”

After completing kinesiology, Genya set out on a journey to discover the remarkable preventative and therapeutic qualities of Yoga.

Combining knowledge and experience gained in the past twenty years, he offers a highly integrated approach by fusing elements from Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Meditation and Qi Gong. Genya has assisted in improving the lives of numerous individuals who have reached out to him with a variety of health conditions and life challenges.

In addition, he is certified in several trainings including Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and Thai Massage.

“Yoga and mindful practices have supported me in my spiritual growth; to grow my inner awareness; to feel more calm and centered and while also allowing me to feel more grounded and connected to my body.

My passion is to help human beings to transform, grow and evolve through yoga, mindfulness and Soul Coaching.”

Zina has been practicing and exploring yoga since 2003. She has been introducing mindfulness, meditation and gentle movement to children at schools and daycares as an ECE and to adults at the yoga studio that she created with her husband Genya Klaiman.

Jenn Berkelmans
Support Specialist

“One of my greatest passions is to help sensitive souls reclaim the truth of who they are and to become an embodiment of love, compassion and truth so that they can step into fully living out their purpose and gifts through the process of truly BE-ing.”

At ClearBeing I fulfill this by supporting, guiding and utilizing my gifts in any way that supports the ClearBeing team and the ClearBeing community.

Outside of ClearBeing I seek to guide souls to becoming the fullest expression of their BE-ing through Soul Coaching, meditation and breathwork facilitation and Human Design.

I feel that both within ClearBeing, and outside of it, I wear many hats and have many passions but most importantly, my favourite pursuit is one of learning, expanding and stepping into the fullest expression of my BE-ing.

I truly believe that the journey to purpose and fulfilment is not so much what we do but who we BE. That this path of BE-ing is paved through exploring our truth, becoming the embodiment of love and compassion, finding alignment to our soul and life purpose and ultimately BE-ing the fullest expressed versions of our soul.

“The transformation I’ve experienced is deep and meaningful.”

The transformation I’ve experienced is deep and meaningful. Every day, I go further in understanding my body, its complexities, and its ever-changing requirements. This new closeness has brought a sense of connection that I’ve never felt before. It’s like a unity, both within myself and with the world around me, is growing, similar to a flower reaching for the sunlight. I realized that even dedicating a short time each day to mindful movement creates the best environment for my precious body.

Since completing the Yoga Teacher Training Program, my life has become a beautiful tapestry of well-being. The injuries that once held me back now remind me of my growth and strength. Yoga is no longer just a physical practice; it’s a blend of body, mind, and soul. I move with purpose, grace, and the understanding that my yoga journey is ongoing, a continuous conversation with myself. I am incredibly thankful to ClearBeing for providing the tools, the guidance, and the nurturing space that allowed me to unfold into this renewed version of myself.

Retreats have always been a potent environment
to let ourselves fall into
the grace & beauty
of present moment awareness
to give our beings the opportunity to let go
of physical, mental and emotional tensions
that are interfering with our capacity
to experience peace & well-being as a constant in our lives.

“….I learned so much about myself”

I joined the program with both excitement and hesitancy, wondering if I was ready for such commitment. Yoga was always on my radar and I had a calling to know more. Prior to signing up I was practicing Yoga very irregularly and lacked full confidence surrounding proper technique. If I was going to commit to a daily practice I wanted to ensure I knew what I was doing was beneficial.

What I received was so much more! Yes, I learned the how’s and why’s of the poses but what I didn’t expect to learn was about the WHO. Through the yogic philosophy teachings, somatic activities, and simply showing up to each class, I learned so much about myself. Post graduation, I feel confident in my foundation to continue to grow and learn. Above and beyond deepening my personal practice – I have had the privilege to teach yoga in both studio, and nature settings.

“This training gave me knowledge and confidence to teach…..“

YTT & B  was a time of unlearning everything I knew about yoga, movement and relearning how to build movement practice from scratch, honoring and listening to my body,  this body I live in now, the body that endured injuries, surgeries, this body that birthed babies, body that is going through menopause. Most of all, with incredible guidance, mentorship and holding from our amazing instructors, I found a way home into the depth of myself. My daily practice changed completely, as did my practice of meditation and breathwork. Yoga to me is a tool and path I have the honor to practice daily as a way of attuning, centering and listening to the call of my soul, healing my body. 

This training gave me knowledge and confidence to teach now what it is that my heart feels called to share with others, to now help others find a way home to themselves.  Throughout this program I gained beautiful new friendships and became part of the ClearBeing community. My Massage practice, my marriage and parenting of my 2 sons has shifted dramatically and my capacity to be present to myself and others has grown immensely. This is just the beginning of greater unfolding. With all new tools available to me now I surrender, listen and take one step forward.
