You’ll study the postures, anatomy and philosophy.

You’ll practice teaching, use your voice, get feedback, ask questions, make mistakes and try again.

And while you’re learning how to teach, you’re also spending a lot of time paying attention to yourself.

FROM YOUR MAT TO THE FRONT OF THE ROOM.

Learn how to be a great hot yoga teacher.

And learn more about yourself, too.

I’m Meg, owner of Namaste North in Barrie, Ontario.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Physical Health Education and have been teaching Original Hot Yoga since 2007.

After nearly 20 years of teaching and years of owning and operating a hot yoga studio, I know this practice inside and out. But more importantly, I know what it takes to go from knowing the practice as a student to confidently leading a room.

That’s what I want you to leave this training with. A deep understanding of the practice, plenty of experience actually teaching it, and the confidence to step in front of a class and make it your own.

GABRIEL

Gabriel completed Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in 2007 and is the co-founder of Yoga East Austin. He continues to teach six days a week and brings nearly 20 years of teaching experience, plus a background in business and brand building, to the training.

HANNA

Hanna completed Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 and holds bachelor’s degrees in Anatomy and Psychology. A three-time Swedish and Nordic Yoga Asana Champion, she has coached Swedish yoga athletes since 2018 and has presented anatomy education for IYSF coaching training.

Christian

Christian has practiced Bikram Yoga since 2001 and completed teacher training in 2002. Over more than two decades, he has practiced, taught, competed and judged at studios around the world, including New York, Paris, Prague and Belgium, where he also co-owned a studio.

Welcome HOme

WHAT IF YOGA WAS YOUR ONLY JOB FOR TWO WEEKS?

  • After 6 weeks of foundational training, we’ll be at Casa Om in Puerto Morelos, Mexico.

  • A yoga retreat centre with a dedicated hot yoga room located steps from the Carribbean sea.

  • Located about 25 minutes from Cancún International Airport in Puerto Morelos.

  • Stay in one of 11 guest rooms with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and regular housekeeping.

  • Most days include two 90-minute practices, lectures, posture clinics and practice teaching.

  • Enjoy meals and breaks between sessions around the retreat centre and nearby beach.

  • Head into Puerto Morelos and try the local restaurants for a change of pace and scenery.

HOW THE TRAINING WORKS

PHASE ONe

BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION

March 29 – May 7

  • Training starts six weeks before we leave for Mexico.

    You’ll work through the Original 26 & 2 series in five progressive modules, with weekly Zoom sessions between each weekend.

    Module 1: The Warm-Up Series
    Module 2: Standing Series I
    Module 3: Standing Series II
    Module 4: Floor Series I
    Module 5: Floor Series II

    Each module covers posture mechanics, benefits, common issues, modifications, Sanskrit names, dialogue and practice teaching

PHASE TWO

MEXICO IMMERSION

May 9 – 22

  • You’ll practice the 90-minute series twice a day, attend lectures, continue practice teaching and spend time on anatomy, yoga history and philosophy, teaching technique and the business of yoga.

    The schedule is full because repetition matters. You teach, get feedback, make adjustments and do it again.

    By the end of the intensive, you’ll have experience leading the full Original Hot Yoga series.

PHASE Three

FINISH STRONG

May 24 - July 3

  • Throughout the full 14-week course period, you’ll practice a minimum of three times per week.

    No Original Hot Yoga studio nearby? We’ll provide audio and video classes so you can complete your practices from home.

    • Monday, March 29 from 7:00–9:00pm, Zoom only

    • Wednesdays from March 31 to May 5 from 7:00–9:00pm, Zoom only

    • Saturdays from April 3 to May 1 from 9:30am–3:30pm, in-studio in Barrie or on Zoom

    • Sundays from April 4 to May 2 from 11:00am–4:15pm, in-studio in Barrie or on Zoom

    The Mexico intensive takes place from May 9–22, 2027, at Casa Om in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Training will take place daily, with a typical schedule running from 8:00am–7:30pm and optional evening time from 7:30–9:00pm.

  • Not at all. An immersive training covers the same required learning in a more immersive format. Instead of dipping in and out of the material over several months, you spend two weeks fully focused on learning, practicing and teaching.

    And this training isn’t only two weeks. You’ll complete pre-intensive training beginning March 29, the two-week Mexico intensive in May, and additional course requirements through July 3. The intensive simply gives you the opportunity to go all in while you’re there.

  • The curriculum includes:

    • Posture technique, alignment, benefits and modifications

    • Cueing and posture clinic

    • Teaching methodology, voice, presence and body language

    • Anatomy and physiology

    • Yoga history and philosophy

    • The Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sūtras

    • The evolution of modern yoga

    • Ghosh lineage and living tradition

    • The business of yoga

    And, importantly, you’ll get plenty of opportunities to actually practice teaching.

  • The training is led by Meghan Huehn and Gabriel Tavera, who each bring more than 14 years of experience owning hot yoga studios.

    Meghan has been teaching Original Hot Yoga since 2007 and has Bachelor’s Degrees in Physical Health Education and Science. The training also includes specialized instruction from Hanna Persson in Anatomy and Christian Scaraglino in Yoga History & Philosophy.

  • Your tuition includes:

    • 200-hour teacher training

    • Course manual

    • Accommodation at Casa Om

    • Daily brunch in Mexico

    • Five dinners per week in Mexico

    • Airport transfers to and from the retreat centre

    You will need to purchase your own flight to Mexico and about $60 in required readings.

  • Yes. The Zoom-only sessions are completed online, and the scheduled Barrie weekend sessions can be attended either in studio or via Zoom.

  • The total investment is expected to be approximately $5,500–$7,000 CAD, depending on the accommodation you select. Flights are not included. A $500 deposit is required to secure your spot and will be applied toward your total investment. Once final pricing is confirmed, you’ll have the option to pay in full or choose a payment plan.

  • Every day will look a little different, but here’s a sample schedule for what your time could look like during the 2 weeks at Casa Om.

    8:00–9:30am Morning Practice
    10:00–11:00am Breakfast
    11:00am–1:00pm Lecture Module
