Cynthia Funk created the Evolving Spirit Teacher Training Program in 2001. At the time, her studio was operating under the name The Yoga Sanctuary Danforth.
In 2008, The Yoga Sanctuary Danforth, registered as a Certified Private Educational Institute, with the Federal government, File #7009/11740 ESDC. In 2020 the name of the institution changed to the Yoga Sanctuary Academy. However, the fully accredited registered status remains continuous since 2008. Tuition fees are 100% tax-deductible and students receive an Income Tax Receipt.
Our Teacher Training Programs are registered with Yoga Alliance of the United States RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher). Our graduates enjoy the benefits of this training for a lifetime.
