Six Reasons You Should Join The Yoga Teacher Training Program in Fernie

Extend your season while improving your yoga practice and supporting your skiing or snowboarding passion in beautiful Fernie.

You’re coming to Fernie for the 11 week instructor course, which is all about skiing or snowboarding in the great outdoors, right? So why would you consider heading indoors to the yoga studio to take the Yoga Teacher Training Course? There are many good reasons! Here are just a few...

1

Become a Yoga Teacher

Taking it to the next level with a teaching qualification will not only help you physically but it will also help you to extend your season in the mountains with a year-round, worldwide employment opportunity. You’ll complete the RYT 200 Hour Teacher Training Course, which is the first level qualification accredited through the Yoga Alliance, an international governing body for yoga teachers.

2

Develop your own practice

You aren’t necessarily considering a career change, but you are keen to nail those more difficult poses, perhaps learn a bit more about the anatomy and philosophy behind the different class types and learn how to develop your own regular home practice.

3

Support your on-snow performance

A regular yoga practice will help you get more out of your powder snow days at Fernie Alpine Resort, and help you recover faster. You’ll be doing yourself a favour by keeping your body strong and healthy and reducing the risk of injury. You’ll receive an unlimited pass to Essential Yoga Studio whilst you are on the 11 week ski instructor course or snowboard instructor course, so you can go to as many classes as you like throughout the winter.

4

Meet some more locals

Use your unlimited yoga pass and become a familiar face at the studio. It’s located a short few minutes’ walk from Nonstop’s various accommodation options in downtown Fernie. It’s a modern, happy little place where local yogi’s gather when they aren’t out ripping the mountain. The studio has a great community that’ll welcome you quickly, and a reputation for offering a diverse variety of classes, from hot hatha to yin, all led by knowledgeable, friendly teachers.

5

Extend your time in Fernie

Once you arrive in Fernie, we can guarantee that you aren’t going to want to leave. Stay on after your ski or snowboard course for another three weeks on this program and watch as snowy white turns into grassy green and skis turn into bikes. Got a work visa? Stay for the summer and use your new qualifications.

6

Reset and refresh

Detox the body and mind, you’ll feel awesome, accomplished and ready for the next adventure!
