Karma Yoga Teacher Training 

Offering probably the most affordable and flexible yoga teacher training in Halifax area. The program is unique in that one can do the 200 hour online yoga teacher training and then come into the in person 200 hour yoga teacher training by paying the difference in the tuitions.

Also  in either program you get to choose a concentration which students focus  on for their practice and certification classes. As well as for their philosophy and research papers in the program.

Karma Yoga also works on the premise of paying it forward. After they have done the program, students to gain experience, offer free yoga classes to friends family and those in the community who don’t normally get access to yoga.

Price: $2295. Payment plans and scholarships!
