OUR REVOLUTIONARY 200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Jennifer Clarke E-RYT 500 - Lead 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainer

Jennifer Clarke ERYT-500, I started practicing yoga in the 90s and since then it has been a daily part of my life. Yoga practice has helped me stay embodied during challenges of life.  It is a self care tool that supports me to be responsive to life, uphold my boundaries, respect the boundaries of others, show up, and flow through my life.  I can absolutely say that my yoga practice has helped me become a better parent. I have been teaching weekly classes since 2006 and I am so grateful to my students all these years, some of whom I've had the honour of teaching since the beginning of my career.

 My formal yoga training includes 200hr Yogaworks Teacher Training, a 300hr Teacher Training with Open Source Yoga, Anatomy and Physiology at Langara College, 100 hour Ashtanga Teacher Training with Fiona Stang, and 1000’s of hours of training, courses and workshops with excellent local teachers and master teachers from abroad. I completed a 1,000 hour Qigong Practitioner and Masters level training program with Empty Mountain.

I am an Expressive Movement Facilitator, (soon to be a Registered Somatic Educator). I have completed a 3-year studio based contemporary dance training, two years of dance at University of Calgary and have been dancing and performing for over 20 years in Canada and parts of Europe. I also have a BA in Literature. I’ve dedicated my life to the study of movement, yoga, dance, meditation, spirituality, energetic healing and qigong.

Delia Brett E-RYT 500 - Co-Lead 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainer

I am the current studio owner of Green Room Yoga, an experienced registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance, Yoga Shred Certified Teacher, Certified Energy Codes Facilitator and Transformational Coach. I have been teaching yoga since 2003 and teaching at Green Room Yoga since it moved out of Alix Rodrigues’ living room and onto Hastings Street in 2008. 

My personal journey with yoga began about 26 years ago but the unique approach I bring to my classes today, actually began long before that. Like you, I am a fusion of many voices, teachers, practices and influences. Chief among these influences has been dance – more specifically, Contact Dance – a form of improvised dance that foregrounds an embodied, moment to moment experience of the natural laws of physics. It is this form, which I have been practicing, performing and teaching for over 35 years, that has informed my yoga the most. But to give credit where credit is due, it wasn’t until I began to study the work of revolutionary anatomists, Thomas Myers & Gil Hedley and yoga innovator, Sadie Nardini over a decade ago that I was able to develop the model and language I needed to effectively communicate this felt understanding of physics to others. 

After 21 years of teaching yoga, I think it’s fair to say my practice has shifted. These days, I am more inspired to guide awareness through movement, stillness and breath back to the elemental spark of joy – the spirit of play and experimentation. Because I believe that when we cultivate an inner posture (asana) of curiosity and wonder in our bodies we don’t just dissolve stress, we learn to become intimate with ourselves again and in doing so, we bring upliftment and healing to our increasingly complex world.
